I have returned from the theaters with your Grindhouse verdict.
There are two ways to feel about this film. You're A.) going to hate it, or B.) going to love it. I say this because of all the people that packed in to the showing I was at.. only half remained when the credits rolled. I can totally see why these people got up and left. This movie is not to be taken seriously in anyway. You could say the entire double feature is just one big joke. Hell, the hardest I laughed was the end of the second film. It's such an abrupt and 'wtf' moment you can't help but laugh out loud.
Anyway, personally I loved Grindhouse. I also loved being carded twice before seeing the film. Second time this year (300 being the other), what a great start. The carding is definitely a good idea. If you somehow didn't get enough blood, guts, and gore in 300.. Grindhouse will put you in your place. I actually cringed.. yes.. cringed. It's not all violence though. I can safely say that the only other movies that made me laugh this hard were Team America and Clerks 2. This click is freakin' hilarious.
The whole Grindhouse experience is divided up in to two films; Planet Terror and Death Proof. There's also a handful of 'fake' trailers between the two main films. These are just 5 minute trailers for movies that will.. hopefully.. never be made. Eli Roth (director of Cabin Fever and Hostel) did one titled 'Thanksgiving,' which was a slasher spoof of Halloween.. but on Thanksgiving. That was my favorite one.
So anyway, the movies were great and I had a good time. Recommendations go out and what-not but don't flip a b!tch-switch if you end up hating this movie. End.
If you're unfortunate enough to live in the North, like me, then you probably don't know the unbelievable brilliance of the boiled peanut because you can only find them in the Southern States. Well it turns out you can get them in can form. My buddy dropped these off and I've been drooling over them all day. Must save them for a special occasion.
