You mean you didn't enjoy endless, boring discussions of car chase movies where the characters are clearly only there for QT to flex his film knowledge to an audience who DGAF?

THANK YOU. Looks like I can't give you any more rep, so pseudo-rep for that comment.

I haven't seen Death Proof since the Grindhouse double feature in theaters, after the brownies had REALLY kicked in. But meg's description checks out in my hazy memory.

[megladon8]

I'm not saying Planet Terror was great, but it was at least quick paced and goofily self aware.

Death Proof brought the momentum to a grinding halt and made the whole double feature thing feel eternal..

It was the opposite of what it should have been.

Since we're in this thread, I haven't enjoyed a single David Lynch movie I've seen. I've seen Eraserhead, (most of) The Elephant Man, Dune, Wild at Heart, and a handful of episodes of Twin Peaks. Dude just doesn't do it for me. People keep telling me to see Blue Velvet, but Lynch has 0 track record with me. I strongly doubt it'll be the one.

The dialog in Death Proof is sex.

I would actually be more inclined to recommend you Mulholland Dr.

I think you'd really like it.

Avoid Inland Empire like the plague.

Avoid Inland Empire like the plague.

Like a plague that has a plague.

Quite enjoy Death Proof as an experiment. Planet Terror was a caricature of grindhouse movies, Death Proof IS a grindhouse movie. Most grindhouse movies are shitty and talky. I think the combo of the two films is a fascinating conversation about how one director views grindhouse, and the other knows it (far too) well enough to make a film with the genres exact tones.

[megladon8]

Just to clarify, I actually really like Inland Empire.

I just think that judging by Spun's experience with Lynch so far, it would be the epitome of everything he hasn't liked so far.

[Skitch]

Uh, to clarify, I think Inland Empire is a terrific 30 minute film trapped in a five hour dumpster juice fire shitshow.

In that case, I'd say your best bet is The Straight Story because it's so non-Lynchian.

[DFA1979]

Aww I liked Death Proof. Sure it's QT's worst movie but Kurt Russell is great as a slasher villain and I liked all of the female characters. Plus the soundtrack rules.

I love all the Lynch I've seen but I have not seen Dune or The Straight Story.

Death Proof is easily Tarantino’s third best film. Planet Terror is Rodriguez’s best

...with a cactus.

[transmogrifier]

I haven't watched a single Tarantino movie since Death Proof pissed me right the hell off in the theater. Yes, it pissed me off that much. So, I haven't seen Django, IB, Hateful 8, or OUTIH.

Death Proof is better than all of those.

[Skitch]

Death Proof is better than all of those.

I like...half of those better than Death Proof, but its really splitting hairs for me. Stopping at Death Proof is a bad decision, Spun, those movies are dope.

Is there anyone that doesn't like Sobotka? Usually not in the favorites, but always well-liked

They do like him, but rarely have him on the upper echelon. Perhaps because people associate him with probably the most divisive of The Wire's seasons?

[Philip J. Fry]

The Great Mouse Detective is great and all, but it would've been better if both Basil and Rattigan..

Apart from Ziggy, this season hits much better on a rewatch after seeing the full series. To the point that I think it's even better than Season 1.

Agreed for the most part except for one thing:

Ziggy is a great character /hotTake

3 > 1 > 2 = 4 >> 5

4>3>1=2>5

[Ezee E]

Why is Ziggy a great character to you?
