Grindhouse - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

Saw Grindhouse yesterday and thought it was a hysterical send-up of the 70's exploitation genre. Planet Terror was by turns horrifying and hilarious; IMHO, Fergie had the best cameo, ever!

Personally, I thought Death Proof was a better segment, in terms of building suspense and tension. Admittedly, it's not the non-stop roller coaster ride that Planet Terror was - there were times when the dialogue got really excessive. But every time Kurt Russell was on screen, I was rivited. It was really interesting to see this charismatic-yet-psychotic antagonist both work his mojo and blow his cool.

Last but not least, the trailers were ridiculously funny. Glad to see other schlock auteurs (Edgar Wright, Eli Roth, Rob Zombie) contributing to the fun.
