In the last poll the winners were Amélie and Death Proof! Amélie is coming this Friday to Patreon, but I have a question about Death Proof.

As you may know, it was originally released as "Grindhouse" along side "Planet Terror" and a handful of fake trailers to recreate the 70's Grindhouse double feature experience. I actually didn't realize I could find the whole grindhouse experience to rent, but I did find it on Vudu. I was considering adding Planet Terror as a separate film in next week's poll because I knew some people would be asking for the whole grindhouse experience.

That's where I need your help. My intention is to watch through Quentin Tarantino's filmography. Should I just watch the part of grindhouse he directed in "Death Proof" or watch the entire 3 hour grindhouse experience?

The Grindhouse package put Planet Terror first, which I found a really baffling decision. Death Proof is Tarantino doing his level best to recreate EXACTLY what '70s grindhouse movies were like, which means a lot of deliberate padding and dialogue that only really gets going in the last half hour. Since it's Tarantino dialogue it's still a lot of fun, but putting it after the utterly bonkers action fest of Planet Terror would still inevitably make it feel like a letdown. So definitely go for that one first.

Well, assuming it wins, my plan is to watch "Grindhouse" on Vudu which I *think* replicates the order of everything the theater showed.

Yeah, Death Proof is essentially the second half of "Grindhouse", with Planet Terror as the first, so it's a weird poll. Voted for Grindhouse, assuming that means both. I like both, but I think Death Proof is easily up to snuff with the rest of Tarantino's filmography, and is underappreciated.

When I was originally researching, I could only find death proof and planet terror as stand alone films, slightly extended from their original "Grindhouse". But last week I found "Grindhouse" on vudu and it is the original 3 hour theatrical release as far as I can tell.
