Grindhouse

I'll wait for the DVD. I'll probably enjoy it, but it isn't something I need to run right out and see. It's an interesting concept, but it kinda bothers me that they're making a "grindhouse" double feature with a studio budget. I bet you could take the total budgets of any ten grindhouse movies that Tarantino has posters on his wall (and you KNOW he has them), add them together, and it'd just barely register half of the effects budget for Planet Terror alone.

Not necessarily saying that's the reason I'm not excited about it. It just seems like if you're going to make grindhouse movies, you should make grindhouse movies.

Anyway, like I said, I'm sure I'll enjoy it on a purely "Holy FUCK!" level if not on an intellectual level. I've learned not to underestimate Tarantino. But I've also found that I enjoy his stuff in the comfort of my living room (with the benefit of a rewind button) more than at the mulitplex.
