I can definitely guarantee that Grindhouse is better than that!

It's hard to guage how much Frank Miller's contribution to Sin City influenced it's success. I'm not a Quentin Tarantino fan by far (last time I enjoyed his work was when I was 18 or so), and have gross misgivings about seeing Grind House. But I'm bored and I hate CGI cartoon movies with weird celebrity voices and non-stop pop soundtracks so... I have few options and it is this alone that interests me in seeing Grind House. Not to go on a rant or anything, but after stapling my ass to the chair to sit through Spider-Man 3, I think I'm ready for anything... ANYTHING... and it would have to be pretty damned lousy to out-lousy the top grossing lousy movie that is Spider-Man 3. You’re spot on with your takes on both creators.

It'll probably wallow down in the 300s on my Netflix queue for years to come... And yeah, I was so tired of Pulp Fiction when it came out. I *HATED* how our generation held it up as the consummate film of our time... Pulp Fiction:90s movies as Nirvana:90s music. Enough already. But I do have to admit, that I did catch it for the first time in years on cable recently, and thoroughly enjoyed it now that all the projected self important Gen-X BS has been stripped away by time.

Planet Terror, along with the pseudo-trailers, amps things up to a fever pitch.....until Death Proof starts. I'm not sure if Death Proof is lackluster on it's own, but it certainly brings Grindhouse to a screeching halt. Just my two cents, though..... I agree on Death Proof.
