Kurt Russel? I just can't see him in that role. What did you like about this film? Did it make you laugh?  :D  I don't even recall this showing in local theaters.

I think this was half of the double-feature that was released a few months ago, "Grindhouse."  The original movie didn't do so well in theaters, likely due to the running time.  My guess is that they re-released the movies on their own.

That was the plan from start in some areas.

Yes, I think it went much better as a separate film(haven't seen what Rodriguez had to offer, though).

I'd recommend this movie to everyone who'd want to have a... fully successful date, so to say.

If you had to compare Death Proof  to his other movies, what would you say? Pulp Fiction ("good") or Kill Bill ("bad")? I want my date to be successful!

It's more Pulp Fiction, yeah. And from Kill Bill... do you remember the talk in the beginning of the movie, between Uma's heroine and that Black Mamba girl? And the kid coming from school? Reminded me of this bit before the fights begain in "Kill Bill", a little.

I haven't seen Kill Bill, but my date has and he hated it. If it's more like Pulp Fiction, I might be able to persuade him to watch it with me. Thanks! :)

  It may be too late to warn you, Evi, but Kill Bill is the crappiest crap I've ever seen

I haven't watched Kill Bill yet and I don't think I ever will. Chris said the same thing as you did. Thanks for the warning! :)
I was talking about watching Death Proof, but I haven't seen that one, either, because it's not out here yet. If it's crappy, too, I won't mind, because the main reason why I go to cinema at all is the cinema feel.
