    Anyone excited by this at all? Rodriquez and Tarantino are up to old tricks with a double bill of films that, you guessed it, pay homage to the 70's....again.

    2x60 minute horror/action films that'll get you wet, or a flailing grasp from a couple of directors who've really gone off the boil.

    Only you, the viewer can decide...duh duh dunnnnnnnnnn!!!

    Tarantino blows. I don't get his appeal.

    He's a good writer but overrated as a director. Still, I enjoy his movies.

    He really needs his campiness tempered by . . . something. The preview made me chuckle but I can't imagine sitting through 2 movies like that. Way over the top. Way too impressed with themselves. Just bad. :shrug:

    I like Tarantino's stuff. It's usually too cool for school, which is just what the doctor ordered when I'm in the mood for mindless entertainment. Not every movie needs to be Oscar quality to be enjoyed.

    Plus, that hawt girl from Charmed looks to be in it, and perhaps scantily clad. Worth a few $$$ right there all by itself.
