3. I liked Rodriguez's flick a lot more than Tarantino's
Still, the whole thing was very good overall.

12. Check this out:
http://www.imdb.com/news/sb/2007-04-10/

Some moviegoers who bought tickets to see the Robert Rodriguez/Quentin Tarantino "double bill" Grindhouse were apparently unaware that the feature comprised two separate movies -- and walked out after the first one, Rodriguez's Planet Terror, ended, published reports said today (Tuesday). "I don't think people understood what we were doing," Weinstein told today's New York Post. "The audience didn't get the idea that it is two movies for the price of one." The walk-outs could offer another partial explanation for the film's disappointing performance at the box-office. Most critics agreed that the second movie, Tarantino's Death Proof, was the superior of the two. Daily Variety also reported that The Weinstein Co. is overhauling its ad campaign but will be facing stiff competition next weekend when seven -- count 'em, seven -- new films open. The Post added that the company is also considering re-releasing the two movies as separate offerings in longer versions, as it had already decided to do overseas and on DVD.

:rofl:

13. Haha, a friend of mine told me that a bunch of people left after Planet Terror when he went.
Hilarious.

14. Really? They thought Death Proof was better?
I thought the opposite - Death Proof was pretty boring (except for the ending, one of the best movie endings I've ever seen), but Planet Terror was quite entertaining.

NICHOLAS CAGE steals the movie in just a few seconds of appearance! Don't know why . . but I'm in love with that moment.

I take it this movie will be cherished by moi?

You know my style so tell me true-Will I love it as I love most of Quentin and Robert's works?

17. Sounds perfect.
I like all of those things in a movie.

After all, not everyone can grow up to be David Lynch.
