My post from yesterday about Death Proof came from the experience in 2007 in the opening weekend in a theater full of energy. Grindhouse was that kind of epic where those of us fortunate to see the whole instead of movies split apart you just don't get much anymore. Mimicking an era but utilizing new age techniques was an interesting juxtaposition of old and new technology. When Planet Terror finished and we got a load of old school trailers capturing the spirit of slashers, monster movies, haunted house, and action mayhem; Death Proof was quite anticipated. What bag of tricks would QT equip his Grindhouse movie with? So when we are offered ladies and conversation, talking a lot about guys, it does kind of drag down expectations, I guess. Home video, though, can be a bit kinder. Pause breaks and time between one gabfest and another offers a less tiresome experience.
