@ M&Co

Perhaps you’ll reconsider comparing a “Grindhouse universe” to something less awesome like parking tickets or eating nacho cheese out of Robin Williams’ chest hair.

Because masturbation is prertty cool.

Caught the first half of GRINDHOUSE on Starz HD last night and the MACHETE trailer still rocks my world. Yes, it’d be nice to see Rodriguez get back to the drawing board with something new, but given the choice of his once-proposed BARBARELLA remake and a New World-inspired MACHETE flick I know what *I’m* most interested in!

…but this is whole â€œGrindhouse universeâ€ thing really just masturbation.

Thumb approves of this type of masturbation.

The best scene in possibly movie history takes place in Once Upon A Time..

Fucking Jonny Depp walking into the kitchen and shooting the cook that made his dinner in the face, because it was just too damn good. I laughed for an hour after that.

As much as I enjoyed Grindhouse (particularly Death Proof) the fact of the mater is that pastiche and remakes of bad films still add up to bad films.

A Machete trilogy sounds like three times too much Machete. It made an amusing trailer but I just can’t imagine sitting through another tongue-in-cheek schlockfest like Planet Terror, let alone a trilogy.

Let’s start making ORIGINAL films again guys…by all means take aesthetic and stylistic cues from the past but this is whole “Grindhouse universe” thing really just masturbation.

Why do people still think about El Mariachi, it was a movie done with a budget of two dollars and more than 10 years ago. Rodriguez has to change his style and bring new things to the table, if he was still doing what he did on the mariachi he wouldn’t be were he is now.

I have to say, the trailers for Grindhouse were one of the best parts about it all. Machete was a great watch and I’d love to this come to life rather than it just be a rumour stuck in dev. hell as it is at the moment.

Also as the article highlights - Direct to Video (or DTV) titles are cheap to make and end up with a high chance of profitability so I’d like for the first time to be interested in a DTV title!

Dope!

Trejo is the man, and really cool. I met him once at a Christmas party in Taos, NM. He’s real humble and a huge film fan in general. Some of my friends were talking about how he’s been a lot of great movies.

I sort of liked Once Upon a Time… Not as good as Desperado (as good as you thought that one was) but definitely entertaining. Planet Terror was what it set out to be, a crappy B-Zombie movie. Needless to say, I was satisfied as well.

Machete! i can’t wait

@ Antibodies

I don’t see it. More of a Mexican Lee Marvin or, uh, an American Danny Trejo.
