No shit!!! That's really, really awesome!! I will TOTALLY watch that as soon as it is available.
Somebody up above (sorry, now that I'm in the posting page, I don't remember who it was - we nearly-30-year-olds are so old our memories are failing :-)) expressed that they thought Death Proof was slow or boring or something. And I've got to be honest, it does kind of feel that way after how crazy and fast-paced Planet of Terror is. But that's just Tarantino's style - he likes to do the slow build, he likes to spend a lot of time acquainting the audience with the characters so that you care about them before some crazy fucked-up shit happens to them. But the last half of this movie is JUST as intense and crazy as Planet of Terror was, and the ending totally kicks ass. So. Yes, it does slow down the pacing of the experience in the middle of the show, but it's intentional, and there's a big pay-off for it at the end. Anyway. That's just my two cents.

I thought it was awesome - my only advice to would-be moviegoers is not to eat anything squishy during Planet Terror - it may gross you out. Save it for Death Proof.

Ya ya. I know about Tarantino's style. But his "slow build" in Death Proof is about twice as bad as it is in his better films like Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill. I still liked Death Proof, but to be honest I didn't care one lick about the characters in Death Proof. I think I actually cared a lot more about Wray and the brothers in Planet Terror, honestly.
Narr:
I just got back from seeing it.
It was hilarity. I think that Deathproof was the wittier of the two, actually, because it is totally appropriate for the effect they were going for. How many plots did they build up in that film just to never capitalize on them? Like 4?
Planet Terror was a riot. It is to these B "gore"or movies what The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra is to '50s Sci-fi flicks.

I say it yesterday
I loved Planet Terror as it never seemed to slow down, but I disliked Death Proof cause it was slow as hell and i did not care for the characters in it. by the end of Death Proof I cared more about what happened to their cheer leader friend that they left at teh farm then seeing Rosario Dawson kick Kurt Russel's head in.
