#18 #16 I liked rodriguez feature better. but come to think of, after 36 hours, i dun see a comparison. They are different. Rodriguez did a slasher flick, i.e., nonstop violence, jokes, sex and repeat. Tarantino did essentially a car-chase film. plus, it has two talky scenes. one in the car (ala royale-with-cheese scene like in pulp fiction) and the other in a diner with four friends talking (opening scene of reservoir dogs). He’s become That cool to refer to his schtick now in his films. There are chase sequences that i have never seen anything like it. Rodriguez was referring to alot of old mexican b-movies from 80s which i have only a vague idea. There was a cool trailer about a ’’Mexican’’ hitman who had quit The Life and had to come back to work for mafia as he was going to get deported from USA. It’s called Machette with a tagline: ’’They should have known better because they fucked with the wrong Mexican!.’’

(sydney poitier’s daughter sydney poitier was amazing in tarantino film when me and my friend were expecting the ol’ man sydney to show up. typical tarantinoesque curveball.)

’’did you catch the psuedointellectual snippet by that pothead: faith and chance, ying and yang, shiva and shakti, lennon and mccartney. i thought that was pretty glib but cool.’’
This one

But I’m really looking forward to grindhouse

watch grindhouse asap. it is pure sickness! has its own fake-trailers and fake-commercials in between the two feature films. one trailer is of a fake slasher film called ’’thanksgiving’’ with a tag line. ’’on this thanksgiving there will be no leftovers, white meat, black meat all will be carved.’’

the politics of the film was whatever. jihadis killing ’’states’’ army, ’’states’’ kicking out immigrants, ’’anarchists’’ getting their asses kicked by allah hu akbar chanting thugs And ’’states’’ both while having an afaq-altaf bhai style infighting too. and the whole we-brought-this-on-ourselves kind of self-flagellation which was repulsively condescending. which one have you not seen, che?

i was expecting so much more
nah dude I haven’t seen it sounds interesting though

i thought the scenes at the end in the refugee camps- a civil war, were pretty convincing. the rest underscored anarchy and how even the birth of a baby can be interpreted in different ways. pointed parrallels to iraq and gitmo

#9 agreed. except the three mindblowing sequences at the opening (coffeeshop), julianne moore’s character getting shot and the last one. The camera-eye was very like Tarkovsky. Plus, near-incomprehensible plot like Syriana was very noirish.

and oh also, did you catch the psuedointellectual snippet by that pothead: faith and chance, ying and yang, shiva and shakti, lennon and mccartney. i thought that was pretty glib but cool.
