You are such a smart guy with your witty comments.
one of those movies you should watch on the first date (personal unpopular opinion?)
Samir, CJ Roy, Tom JF, Brian O'blivion, PYSZNY, Francisco R.
Quite possibly the best time I had at the movies! The 3-hour cut version is the essential viewing of Grindhouse. The great thing about this movie is that both Rodriguez and Tarantino understand the exploitation cinema of the 70s and 80s. The fake movie trailers in-between are hysterically creative, and you can tell they had fun making them. This movie is immensely entertaining and undeniably cool to watch.
they don't really undertsand how to make a grindhouse movie though. Budgets were too big, ideas were too extravagant and egos running wild.Homage or not, could have been better
One of my top ten movie-going experiences. There's nothing like hearing an entire theater groan and squirm during some of the more gory parts.
saw this at an old cinema house in hawaii from the 20's on a hot, humid night. perfect experience.
Missed it in theaters (came and went almost overnight where I live) and have been waiting to see the complete "Grindhouse" theatrical experience with all the trailers intact. I've refused to buy (or even watch) the separated, expanded "director's" cut DVD releases (with no trailers). I want the original theatrical experience my first time. Now that it's finally(!) been released on DVD & Blu-ray in the States, I can.
Rose McGowen is so effin HOTTT!!!! and in Grind House with the gun for a leg really just turned me on even more!
It was a lot of fun to watch in a theater. Just a pity it didn't last longer in its theatrical run.
