Planet Terror as part 1 of 3hr+ Grindhouse
It was kind of weird. I appreciated the subtle and totally unsubtle homage to 'grindhouse' films, and films approaching that, especially from the 70s and early 80s. I especially liked the intro and the fake trailers of other films (though the ones at the end of the film were line crossers), and the scratching audio sounds, and the dust and scratches on the film, goofy gross-outs, over-the-top characters, stupid logic, misogyny, exploitive shot framing, bad edits, missing film sections, and the tongue-in-cheek poking fun at these films and ourselves for wanting to see these films... when it's homage sometimes tips into parody these things come to mind. I thought it was funny. The film itself is intended to be a bit 'rough' as a parody, so I don't want to miss the point, but no, I didn't think it was great, but it was funny and introspective.
