I liked deathproof. my one complaint is how much of a pussy kurt russell turned into once he got shot by scary spice. he s crying over a shot to the shoulder but he's perfectly fine slamming head first into a car while redlining? made no sense to me, also he's a stunt man so he should have a high pain threshold.

I watched this the other day & actually liked it quite a bit. The first fifteen minutes or so were pretty slow as was a lot of the dialogue but for some reason, that didn't bother me too much. Not as good as Pulp Fiction or Reservoir Dogs. I've not seen either Kill Bill volume or Jackie Brown so I can't compare it them. I need to check 'em out though.
I liked how Russell went all apeshit & whiny when he got shot. He knew he wasn't in control anymore & it caused him to break down like a pussy. Kind of reminded me of Andy Robinson as Scorpio in Dirty Harry but not as psychotic.
Machete really needs to get made. The fake trailer was amazing. I also liked the trailers for Edgar Wright's Don't & Eli Roth's Thanksgiving. The Rob Zombie fake trailer was meh. If that were to be made, I think it would be a lot better than his shitty "vision" of Halloween.

you will be pleased to know this IS being made.
Machete is an upcoming feature by Robert Rodriguez. It is an expansion of a fake trailer Rodriguez directed for the 2007 film Grindhouse. It will star Danny Trejo as the title character. Although originally announced to be released direct-to-DVD as an extra on the Planet Terror DVD, the film is now being produced as a theatrical release.[1]
[edit] Production At South by Southwest, Rodriguez announced that he would be expanding his trailer for Machete into a feature-length movie.[2]
According to Rodriguez, the origins of the film go back to Desperado. He says, "When I met Danny, I said, 'This guy should be like the Mexican Jean-Claude Van Damme or Charles Bronson, putting out a movie every year and his name should be Machete.' So I decided to do that way back when, never got around to it until finally now. So now, of course, I want to keep going and do a feature."[3] In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Rodriguez said that he wrote the screenplay back in 1993 when he cast Trejo in Desperado. "So I wrote him this idea of a federale from Mexico who gets hired to do hatchet jobs in the U.S. I had heard sometimes FBI or DEA have a really tough job that they don't want to get their own agents killed on, they'll hire an agent from Mexico to come do the job for $25,000. I thought, "That's Machete. He would come and do a really dangerous job for a lot of money to him but for everyone else over here it's peanuts." But I never got around to making it."[4]
Rodriguez hopes to film Machete at the same time as Sin City 2.[5] Additionally, during Comic-Con International 2008, he took the time to speak about Machete, including such topics as: status, possible sequels after the release of Machete, and production priorities.[6] It was also revealed that he has regularly pulled sequences from it for his other productions including Once Upon a Time in Mexico.
