Montrose1100 Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 (edited) I want to see because it looks so ridiculous, almost funny. I can't help but laugh everytime I see the commercial with the stripper who has an AR-15 for a LEG! > So is this just "running out of ideas", or just for fun?

houstonmacbro Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 I know right. I mean, wouldn't it be easier to shoot bullets by holding it like a regular gun instead of also using it to walk on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Grindhouse," soaked in bloody nostalgia for the cheesy, disreputable pleasures of an older form of movie entertainment, can also be seen as a passionate protest against the present state of the entertainment industry. - A.

houstonmacbro Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 The reviews have been either wildly enthusiastic or downright depressing. Overally, the critics (if you wanna believe them) have been generally kind about the Rodriguez flick, but are kind of panning the Tarantino 2nd half.They all tend to like the 'commercials' that appear between the two films.

The Rodriguez film was a fun homage, and his recurring theme song/rift is great; the trailers before and between the films were great; and there were elements of the Tarantino movie that were entertaining. But, yeah, it's probably good to go in with lowered expectations for the second film. Sorry, Quentin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pumapayam Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 (edited) Having not seen the film yet, how does she pull the trigger? Was it something to were you uses her leg muscles to fire, or does she have to actually reach dow and over to pull the trigger?

Don't know how the spoiler function works, but I'll give it a try. It's not even really a spoiler, but I know some people don't want to know any details at all... There's a chance that I missed the explanation, but I don't think there was one. It just seems to fire at will. But the feel of the movie is such that you don't expect/require explanations for much of what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to use the spoiler function more often - it's very mysterious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houstonmacbro Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Oh that's pretty cool. Now where is the spoiler function --I mean, when you want to not spoil something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgreco Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 just say that 2 full lengths togehter can be a bit much, I enjoyed it, but I can see others saying this is just to long to be in the theatre. Also, just because its natural one is better than the other, and its not even close. Worth seeing though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
