Grindhouse: Death Proof
Tarantino is one weird dude. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of what I see of him personally. Of course, this is him in front of the camera or microphone. Playing his own part as "Tarantino," so he may be totally different in private. But I don't know his real life. I do believe he is very smart and very interesting. Just don't touch me you icky little bastard.
I find his films fascinating. He takes that road less travelled and challenges the status quo. HIs creative choices tickle me. I like that.
Apparently Tarantino thinks Death Proof is his worst film. I love it. I love the old drive-in quality of it. The sound of it. The mimicking of skipped scenes and scratchy film. The dated way it's presented. I spent a lot of time in drive-ins, lots of memories with the style.
I love Kurt Russell stepping out of his pretty boy roles to be this guy. Not what you expect from the computer who wore tennis shoes.
The first set of girls are my favorite. The victims. While the second set of girls are the victorious gladiators, they just don't deliver the same quality of performance in my mind. Their set-up is bad. But Kurt comes through in both stories. He is introduced and showcased in the first story and more the ominous presence in the second.
