Science Fiction Double Feature

Went on a date to see the Grindhouse last night. Real nice fella. Not sure how interested he is in me though. Mind you, I'm terrible at figuring these things out. I pretty much have to be clubbed over the head and dragged back to the cave to get the message. Well, anyway, fingers crossed!

Now onto the movies. The double feature starts off with Planet Terror starring Rose Mcgowan as a go go dancer who gets her left leg ripped off by mutants and replaced with a high powered automatic machine gun/rocket launcher. Crammed full of boobs, blood and buttocks Rodriguez pulls off a satisfying (if a little self indulgent) homage to the B-movie. What makes the $11 ticket worthwhile however, is Tarantino's effort in Death Proof. Doing away with the faux crackles and missing reels that rendered Planet Terror so painfully post modern, Tarantino re-imagines Steven Spielberg's brilliant 1971 flick Duel with a trio of tough lusty babes. I dont want to give the plot away but lets just say that Women's Studies has never looked so appealing and relevant. If only Tarantino could do for gay men what he has done for women in film.

Ingas you have to see these movies! You will absolutely cream yourself! Hard.
