She avoids the question about the Vanishing point challenger, i.e. she doesn't really care about it LOL

I was let down by dp as a part of Grindhouse.

But I seem to be one of the few who actually liked watching it better the second time on DVD. Talky, yes, but it is a lot of fun nonetheless if you enjoy it as a stand-alone film. Good date movie actually.

I actually like DP. After watching it maybe 5 times (2 at the theater, 3 at home), I can see how personal the characters have become. Sure they aren't as funny as Tarantino's other characters. They do have their good parts though.

And watching her play Ship's Mast gets me on the edge of my seat everytime. If it wasn't Quentin Directing that movie, it would of been some fancy actor that you would of had to shoot away from their face.

Zoe is a badass.

I've always liked Death Proof also, but it definitely holds my attention better watching it by itself, instead of immediately following Planet Terror. I still think they should have switched the order in Grindhouse. But yeah, Zoe's pretty damn cool in that movie.

See my instinct seems to hold that Death Proof should have come first as part of Grindhouse and Planet Terror should have come first internationally where they were split. The cynical me can see the Weinstein argument; you get your Tarantino flick out first theatrically or you hang onto it as part of the double-bill.

But think about it. Not only does Planet Terror's crescendo ending rain on Death Proof's parade, but, seperately, if you assume the average international cinemagoer won't have seen Grindhouse, the Dr. Block sequence in Death Proof works sooo much better if you see it after you've seen Planet Terror.

And if you're viewing them seperately then it doesn't matter that Planet Terror crescendos, because you're readjusted to Death Proof by the time you see it.

I saw DP for the first time with a group of coworkers this week. I watch a dozen movies a week (mainly new releases) so I can be very hard to please. DP was a HOOT! It might have bogged down a little bit with all the girlie dialogue, (for that reason along with the ending I would classify it as a "girlie movie). But the last 20 minutes was
better than anything I've rented this year. I don't know if it was intended to be a comedy but by the time Stuntman Mike got his just desserts we were howling.
The only downer for me, (being a huge "Vanishing Point" fan) was that Quenin didn't find some way to include "Mississippi Queen" by Mountain in the Sound Track. Quentin's sound tracks always kick b***.
