I watched Death Proof again. A majority of people dislike it because 98% of it consists of dialogue that doesn't really pertain to the 'plot.' I actually dug these segments. I found myself really drawn into the conversations, as if I was there - I have a soft spot for Quentin dialogue. In honesty, I prefered the dialogue segments to those with Stuntman Mike. I was sad when it ended, not because the ending was horrendous, but simply because it was over. It's one of the few films I wish ran far past the 2hr mark. 3hrs even.
Following that, I watched Go. I really liked that also. Again, intertwining characters and multi-angled storylines are one of my favourites, IF done correctly. Otherwise, it gets real repetitive, real quick. Luckily that didn't apply here. Sarah Polley is one of my favourite actresses, after seeing her in My Life Without Me (watch it, if you haven't already) and she worked wonders with the rest of the 'bubblegum crew' (I swear, most of these actors appear in 90% of teen-oriented films made around this time...) It was, like many critics suggest, a child of Pulp Fiction. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
