I just saw Planet Terror
 

And I loved it - quirky and bizzare. Some of the best splatterin' zombies I've seen in a while now.

Oh by the way, glad to be here. Hello all.

Did you see it at the cinema or at home?

p.s, Australia are going to whoop Indias ass in the test series coming up.

Hah!
 

Saw it at home. Just as I'm gonna see some one sided matches this winter down under - one sided in our favor of course :)

PS: If you happen to meet Andy Symonds, please apologize on my behalf. We can be tiresome at times.

Planet Terror was very entertaining but I really think it's not the same without the "Grindhouse" cinema experience. I'm not one to label a film one that you "HAVE to see in the theater" but the Grindhouse is one such experience that loses a lot packaged as seperate movies.

You can't be serious... That's ok about Roy, He's not even sure that he's not a monkey.. He's playing well at the moment though.. I can't wait till Boxing day, unfortunately I'm in Scotland this year instead of Melbourne!

I'm going to have to get Sky sports set up in the next week... Besides, you have to get over the Pakis first... ;)


Back to Planet Terror, I've only seen it on the small screen, I'm going to go see it at the cinema tomorrow..

I loved this movie. I thought it was just pure fun and adrenaline. Sadly, I seen it at home. I didn't get around to seeing it at the cinema. Though, that may have helped me appreciate Death Proof more. From what I hear, since Proof was second, and wasn't as in your face and intense, most people didn't like it. To be honest, I thought it was still thrilling (when the chase scenes hit) and the dialogue was great (as always in a Tarantino flick). It should've been shown first, that way people would've probably appreciated it more. Or maybe not. Maybe they did just hate. Oh well. Both kicked ass and were fun to watch.

I wound up liking Death Proof a lot better, which I didn't expect.

I liked Death proof better too, but i'm not sure why. Planet terror has some of the best action/gore i've ever seen.

I'm glad to hear people actually appreciate Death Proof... Honestly, I liked Planet Terror better, but I see the merits of Death Proof. I thought that Tarentino did a spectacular homage/parody to the genre of the CAR exploitation movies.

I feel as though a lot of people wrote the movie off specifically because they like to hate Tarentino. Honestly, the guy's a douche, it's true, but he is one HELL of a director.

Not to mention, Kurt Russel was pretty damn badass.

I saw it a while ago, but it had some pretty nice lines. My favorite was when the BBQ guy said to the zombies standing outside "Are you goina stay out there, or are you goina come and eat". :eek:

Yes, especially badass when...

He gets shot in the arm and screams and whines like a baby. :D

I was surprised to find that I enjoyed Death Proof more than Planet Terror. And I know that's a minority opinion among horror fans.

I just managed to see Grindhouse at the cinema today.

This was its first cinema release in Australia - 1 week only at an independent cinema.

Death Proof received a wider release on its own a few months ago, but didn't last long in the cinemas.

I am so glad that I went along. I think these films really benefitted from being shown together. It heightened the atmosphere trying to be created of being in a 70's grindhouse cinema by showing it as a 'double feature' with faux trailers etc (a la I Drink Your Blood/I Eat Your Skin).

Planet Terror was great, but I did also enjoy Death Proof a whole lot. I really captured the atmosphere of car flicks/revenge flicks very well.

As an added bonus, before Grindhouse the same cinema showed Massacre at Central High. I love this film, and never thought I would get to see it on the big screen.

5 hours of great cinema today :)

Gindhouse as a whole was amazing.

Awesome movie going experience. I enjoyed both flicks equally and that is saying a lot due to a lot of people hating Death Proof but they are all morons. :)

Although I enjoyed Planet Terror more, I did like Death Proof.

I loved it until the love scene/ missing reel. Then it jumped the shark big time and sucked until the end. Until then it had great pacing and was a great zombie flick.

She never reloaded her leg, she never even pulled the trigger. What a dumb concept anyway. But the first 2/3 are good...

Planet Terror
 

What did you people think about Grindhouse's Planet Terror?

I thought it was one of the coolest horror movies made, and having an all-star cast including Bruce Willis, Michael Biehn, Jeff Fahey, Josh Brolin, Quentin Tarantino, Naveen Andrews, and the gorgeous Marley Shelton, and Rose McGowin doing that sexy dance.

It's loaded with gore, action sequences, and some great hypnotic music.
