Maybe now the full Grindhouse Double Feature movie has been released on Blu Ray maybe I'll give it another chance.Jack Thursbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03101157160144955486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7959025705353546660.post-90495484902730116632011-11-15T12:46:37.538-08:002011-11-15T12:46:37.538-08:00Absolutely.

But you're right, the second group of girls were so much easier to take and of course, there was the awesome Zoe Bell. I still haven't gotten to Planet Terror on Bu ray yet. Super excited to see that one again. <br /><br />I was really surprised at how much I enjoyed it this time around though. That car crash with the Austin girls is truly something to behold. lol.robotGEEKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00355070295108163031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7959025705353546660.post-53018034065320467622011-11-15T12:33:02.241-08:002011-11-15T12:33:02.241-08:00I actually watched the theatrical double feature o...I actually watched the theatrical double feature on Blu last weekend and I share your sentiments with the opening scenes. The character of Jungle Julia is overwritten and Poitier's delivery is almost cringe-inducing. Luckily, the second bunch of girls are a lot more likeable. <br /><br />Actually, I think if they put Death Proof first and had Planet Terror be the "main attraction", DP wouldn't have been so bad. It's just that PT was a tough act to follow.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7959025705353546660.post-91968930027571704542011-11-15T09:44:07.668-08:002011-11-15T09:44:07.668-08:00Buddy, believe me I wanted to bitch a little more ...Buddy, believe me I wanted to bitch a little more about her, but had to restrain myself. lol. I didn't revisit it until i picked up the Grindhouse double pack blu-ray myself. I think watching it in that context with the trailers and all the extra stuff really helped. But I really did find it much more enjoyable the second and third time around because there is a lot to be admired, if you can get past all the annoyingly long dialogue scenes about nothing.robotGEEKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00355070295108163031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7959025705353546660.post-91569062054804023072011-11-15T08:00:27.007-08:002011-11-15T08:00:27.007-08:00Didn't hate it, I just found it very disappoin...Didn't hate it, I just found it very disappointing. I've yet to revisit it despite picking up the blu ray. I'm hoping to enjoy it more without the expectation. Nice review!

Since you know what to expect, you should give it a second chance and look at it from an artistic level and just forward through the all the senseless talking. lol. You might be surprised.robotGEEKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00355070295108163031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7959025705353546660.post-50291165206167417252011-11-15T00:04:26.602-08:002011-11-15T00:04:26.602-08:00You know, I never gave this a second chance.

I never cared for the girls, and therefore , bringing down Russel`s character didn`t do much for me as well. I just didnt care. To me Tarantinos worst until now, story wise.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
