Chavez Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Will NOT get an R "Grindhouse" is actually two short movies - one directed by Tarantino, the other by Rodriguez - with an intermission between them. During the break, a series of fake trailers will be shown for such fictitious titles as "Werewolf Women of the SS," directed by Rob Zombie. "In one scene, a cute, topless girl is roughly tied down on a table by evil female Nazi experimenters who begin draining her blood and, as she screams in agony, they brand her like livestock with a coal-hot steel swastika," our source said. "And every girl in the Nazi concentration camp is topless." Another trailer, directed by Eli Roth, of "Hostel" fame, is called "Thanksgiving," in which a town's celebration of Turkey Day is interrupted by a mad slasher. "There's a part where Jordan Ladd [daughter of Cheryl Ladd of 'Charlie's Angels'] is in a car with her boyfriend and giving him [oral sex] when she lovingly reaches to stroke his hair and discovers his neck is just a bloody stump - some maniac had just cut off his head while she was in the act." Later, a frisky cheerleader climbs onto a trampoline and begins stripping naked as she jumps up and down until she does a split and her skirt blows up without panties underneath. "You get the full 'Britney Spears-getting-out-of-the-limo view,' " our source says. Another jolting scene shows a grossly obese man chewing on a baby. What’s interesting from the report is that it’s obvious that the person has seen only these two trailers – there’s no mention of extreme content in the main films, or in Edgar Wright’s trailer (which is actually probably less over the top than the ones by Roth and Zombie anyway). I actually think that most of that stuff will get by the MPAA, although I do think a full split beaver shot would be more than the ratings board could handle. But the MPAA has been talking about new ratings systems, or at least new ways of using the current ratings, and Grindhouse could be a good first effort for a new ‘Hard R’ category. This movie sounds freakin' awesome. Trailer for it played before the 300. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought for sure I'd see that trailer before 300, but I didn't! It seemed like a natural. Oh well. We got some Philip K Dick about premonitions, and some movie with Kevin Costner as a killer. I said meh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cliaz Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Tarantino lost it after Jackie Brown. From Dusk till dawn was okay at best and Kill Bill was horrible to say the least. I saw the preview to this movie and it just looked god aweful. I mean seriously, a chick with a gun for a leg? Tarantino is an over rated has been. Hell he gets credit for Pulp Fiction like he wrote it all by himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtomicCEO Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Kill Bill was horrible to say the least. That is patently untrue. It was excellent on many levels... action, artistic style, homage to kung fu, and hot chicks in leather. I saw the preview to this movie and it just looked god aweful. I mean seriously, a chick with a gun for a leg? It's clear that you aren't getting it. The ridiculousness of a girl with a gun for a leg is the reason I want to see this movie.

Hell he gets credit for Pulp Fiction like he wrote it all by himself. First of all, Robert Rodriguez did From Dusk til Dawn, not Tarantino. Second, the film Planet Terror, the one with the machine gun legged girl, was written and directed by Rodriguez. Finally, Kill Bill Vol. 1 & 2 were much better films than Jackie Brown, which is his worst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtomicCEO Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 (edited) First of all, Robert Rodriguez did From Dusk til Dawn, not Tarantino. Actually... they split it. Tarantino did the first part of the movie when it was mostly about biker bar fights... Rodriguez took over for the second half when it turned into a vampire movie. EDIT: Actually... I'm wrong. Whoops. I had always heard that was the case, but I can't find any evidence to support that. Edited March 19, 2007 by AtomicCEO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's amusing once, after that it's +1 He sells us cliches and trades on nostalgia for crappy old movies from our youth. Watching one of his flicks is the equivalent of somebody putting on a BeeGees record at a party to get a few laughs but failing to take the damned thing off after a few verses of Tragedy and rather plays the whole damned album. "OK, dude, funny joke. Ha ha, gotta love those Bee Gees. Now take that damned thing off and put on something good." Essentially, they subject you to crap all for the sake of some half-baked, lame joke. Watching one of his self-absorbed, never ending scenes with people having the same stupid argument that me and my stoner friends used to have about nothing in particular may strike a comfy and familiar chord, but it is not good film making.

I am in the Kill Bill camp- much much better than Jackie Brown, which was overrated IMO. Jury is still out for me on the Grindhouse- QT has lost it some, andthe Dusk Til Dawn Rodriguez/QT combo was not my favorit flick. They need to come strong with this one.
