[Movie] Grindhouse

Why so much hate for QT? I haven't seen Grindhouse yet, so I can't say yah or nay to QT's performance directing Death Proof, but his other movies have always kept me throughly entertained which is what a movies supposed to do.

Give some reasoning why you hate QT's style so much instead of whining like everyone else who doesn't like him. They never support their rage.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

If he steals movie themes, that sucks. If he comes across as a prick, that sucks. If his movies entertain me, and they do justice to whatever genre he is making parody or borrowing from then that other shit doesn't matter.

He is overrated in the same sense that Nine Inch Nails is overrated. The fans are so annoying it makes you hate the artist. The media and fans give him too much credit, but that doesn't make him horrible, but it is annoying.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I consider myself to have high standards when it comes to movies, but that doesn't mean I can't indulge myself every now and then.

You have to be in the right mindset to enjoy a Tarantino movie, and judging from your and Brady's posts it seems you enjoy the movies, but can't seem to get over the mental block that Tarantinos somehow tricking you into enjoying his movies.

Ah yes. The "Carlos Mencia" defense.

You've had that line on the burner for awhile now haven't you?

Quote:

I like Tarantino's movies with the exception of Kill Bill, but that doesn't mean he isn't an insufferable quack who should be stopped from putting anything else to film.

What? Im sorry, but what?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Point taken.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

He's pretty crafty.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I finally saw it last friday. Planet Terror was simply amazing. Everything I ever wanted from a zombie movie. Gore and babes without any filler. 2 best scenes were hands down

Spoiler:

The scene where the kid blows his face off in the car. I hate annoying kids in movies, and I actually made a joke about how he was gonna shoot himself, and not two seconds later you see a muzzle flash in the car window. It brought tears to my eyes

The other scene was when

Spoiler:

El Ray was running through the hospital with the butterfly knives. It reminded me of the Madness flash series put to film.

I did in fact like Death Proof although I agree it had alot of filler conversations in it. I didn't find myself bored though. I thought the ending with the girls was great. A serious spin to the average slasher guy who just won't die you see in all those other B horror movies. Watching the girls literally become the killers was a great change of pace. The crowd was cheering by the end of the movie.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
