Batman 2 Report post Posted April 8, 2007 awesome movie, one of the funniest I've seen in a long time. The faux trailers were the best, especially "Thanksgiving." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ombre Vivante 0 Report post Posted April 9, 2007 The fact this movie exists is one of the first signs that a huge plague will hit us and destroy all humans. The four horsemen of the apocalyps**t will soon strike. I offered two human sacrifices, in the form of two Tarantino fans, to appease the Gods and so there won't be any more of these tragedies. WHY DO BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO GOOD PEOPLE?! WHAT DID WE EVER DO TO DESERVE THIS?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tenacious_Peaches 0 Report post Posted April 9, 2007 Are you anti-Tarantino or anti-Rodriguez or anti-over the top crappy movies? I think it looks vaguely interesting, as this type of mindless entertainment goes. And I really, really, really want to chop off my leg and attach a machine gun to my stump.

I think it looks vaguely interesting, as this type of mindless entertainment goes. And I really, really, really want to chop off my leg and attach a machine gun to my stump. I'm just anti movies that suck and tarantino has a knack of making those kinds of movies. tarantino directing a Grindhouse movie is analogous to michael bay directing an Arthouse movie - they just don't get the aesthetic and premise behind such movies. Look at it this way, since when has a real B-movie/Grinhouse movie cost 55 million USD to make? It would be like using the most expensive, top of the line kitchen in the world to cook up McDonald's french fries. Thing is, there are directors out there who have done Grindhouse movies with less than a quarter of the budget tarantino used, which goes to show how exceedingly inefficient and wasteful tarantino is. He's not only an imitator, but a bad imitator since he rips off movies which are already technically bad. Let 'im try and rip off Kubrick... he'd probably need 500 million USD to copy 2001 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ombre Vivante 0 Report post Posted April 11, 2007 WHY DOES THIS MOVIE SUCK SO MUCH? WHY? I thought the worst movie ever made had ended with Kurt Wimmer's Equilibrium and Ultraviolet, but we are entering a new level of worst movie ever made. Much like the overall stupidity of the human race, I sometimes wonder how deep the well of mediocrity is... or if there IS a bottom!

Ombre Vivante 0 Report post Posted April 12, 2007 Of course not. Why would I? I've already seen Ilsa: She-Wolf Of The SS and Lady Terminator twice over (i.e. real Grindhouse movies). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Batman 2 Report post Posted April 19, 2007 exactly, and that's why it's so awesome. see, awesomeness is like a circle. "awesome" on one side and "sucks" on the other. if something gets too awesome, it sucks, case and point yngwie malmsteen. he tries way too hard to be awesome and ends up sucking. if something gets too terrible, it's awesome. case and point, grindhouse. oh, and that would apply to fergalicious too.
