Just giving a heads, one of the things i wanted to know is if the false movie trailers would be on the dvd, so once i found out on Movieweb I figured I’d pass it along, nor will they be on the Planet Dismay dvd. I was looking forward to Eli Roth’s groundless trailer for the terror film Thanksgiving.
I personally don’t mind that there not being released together and am looking forward to purchasing both movies, although obviously it would be nice to salvage both together.

Death Proof is one of the best of 2007 so far. It is another wintry, unique and stylish film from Quentin Tarantino. A inferior between a slasher movie where a car is old in area of a knife and an action movie with a shuffle scene that would rival The French Connection.
Keep an peer on Vanessa Ferlito the actress that plays butterfly, gape for the lap dance scene. She has a precise unusual peer. Also Zoe Bell the stuntwoman in true life who worked on the Tarantino’s Extinguish Bill movies, who now is making her acting debut as what else, a unpleasant blank stuntwoman, and she does her possess stunts, she performs one, if not the best car plug scene I’ve seen in a movie.

First, a word about this childish boycott. “Grindhouse” gave us two quick-witted genre films for the notice of one in the theaters. It was a once in a lifetime experience for most of us and a chance to behold the two most bada$* directors in Hollywood give us 3+ hours of hardcore horror/exploitation entertainment including the funniest faux-trailers you’re likely to ever contemplate (or not gaze if you missed it) . And it bombed. Vast time. Why? Because slothful America said it’d wait for the DVD because both films together were too long and they lost the chance to back a truly intellectual understanding and present that we are sick and tired of cardboard cutout PG-13 teen panic and awful remakes of beloved cult classics. They went to behold “Disturbia” instead. “Grindhouse” was what just alarm fans -hell, what all correct film fanatics- have been dying for and shame on all of you who missed it. So the studio took a loss for taking a chance on this plan and as a result, they’ve split the two films up with extra scenes that were sever for time and are giving us these two films as we haven’t yet seen them, each in double-disc editions packed with extras. Awesome, correct? Weeeeeellllll, now the same whiners who stiffed the films in the theaters are indignant they missed out and want both films on one DVD (as if there’d even be room) for a discount tag. Sorry, but it don’t work that device. The theatrical slit was packaged as fair that, an experience for the theaters simulating the double-feature drive-in days of frail. Even if that experience would translate to DVD, why would the company re-release it in the same execute that already failed miserably? The bottom line is this: we now have another chance to display that THIS is what we as fear fans want to peek and the only plan to do that is to steal these great-looking DVDs. The view that making the films bomb yet again on DVD is going to lead to some super-duper deluxe theatrical edition must have been conceived in the mind of a five year feeble on crack. If we don’t relieve these editions, these films will die and the studio will raze no more money on this failed project or any like it in the future. This is basic business sense. Serve fair dismay and other genre films and boycott crappy remakes and bloated sequels *cough*Spiderman3*cough* instead. YOu know you’ll double-dip on those.
“Death Proof” was Quentin Tarantino’s half of the “Grindhouse” experience. It’s a film of resplendent originality that switches gears between genres seamlessly and, in correct Tarantino fashion, pays tribute to it’s influences all the diagram going so far as to name the films it strives to emulate. “Planet Panic”, Robert Rodriguez’s zombie-heavy gorefest that served as the other half of “Grindhouse”, captured the spirit of exploitation cinema by being over-the-top and funny, but “Death Proof” pays homage to it while building a more subtle, character-driven masterpiece. Kurt Russell plays an faded stunt driver with a car built so that the driver can not be killed no matter how poor he crashes (death proof, seek? ) . Well, the guy is a bit of a misogynistic bastard (and a wuss at that) and he gets his jollies by murdering young, pretty women, possibly as a blueprint of getting abet at a world that doesn’t portion his enthusiasm for -or even a vague awareness of- the carphilic genre films that execute up his very existence. His weapon of choice? His stunt car, of course. They rupture, he lives, they die. There is an extraordinary scene where a fracture with a car fleshy of girls is replayed over-and-over, each disclose focusing on a different girl and her particular gory demise. Incredible. The girls are all well fleshed-out as characters with lives and personalities of their absorb and you unprejudiced don’t know who will live and die. You cheer when they live, you gasp (and then cheer at the procedure it was filmed) when they die; a win-win location.
Rose McGownan is indeed the grindhouse queen as she co-stars in both films and steals the indicate in every scene she appears in. Real-life stuntwoman Zoe Bell makes her acting debut and proves an impossibly endearing on-screen presence who shall henceforth be known as Spiderwoman to me after her extraordinary stuntwork here. Rosario Dawson charms as always and the rest of the cast is beyond solid as well.
The last twenty minutes of “Death Proof” are among the greatest of any film I’ve ever seen. Edge of your seat barely begins to represent the dawdle sequences and the finale had me literally applauding in the theater as I laughed myself comic. You will not behold the ending coming unless you’ve spy or heard about it already. The rest of the film is splattered with homages and references to classic drive-in fare, comic and profane dialogue, anxiety cliches (horny + stoned + female = splat!), and more QT goodness.
This extended crop features the snide “reel missing” scene featuring a very sexy lapdance and more of the film’s awesome music. There is also a black-and-white sequence where Russell and Dawson indulge in Tarantino’s creepy foot fetish and a hilarious convenience store scene which stars the almost undrinkable “Enormous Red” soda in damn approach every shot. I laughed harder every time the camera focused on the offending soft drink. The special features are impressive; the highlight for me was watching goretastic scare director Eli Roth plead with Kurt Russell in-between takes where Roth’s character had to diss the fear yarn.
Buy this film, bewitch “Planet Fear” (there is a $5 off coupon for it included here if that helps), and wave your copies at the moron down the street who’s boycotting because this is sparkling filmmaking and denying yourself this kind of entertainment over sour grapes is self-punishment.
