I survived Grindhouse, huzzah!

[zouzounaki]

Note to may_child: My threshold of tolerance, officially an 8.5 outta 10. Usually, I wouldn't detract only a point and a half for passing out in the lobby (which I did, after stumbling out of the theater, thankfully I made the bench seconds before everything went black), but I did get right back up after it had passed and go back into that theater to watch the rest of Grindhouse. All in all I only missed about ten minutes of Planet Terror, so I'm good. The limit of my tolerance actually had little to do with the zombies and more to do with medical queasiness, suprisingly or not.

More in depth thoughts to follow, but I'll leave you with this thought: As with many of the stars who appear in the faux trailer, Nic Cage is onscreen for about five seconds, but makes an incredible splash as Fu Manchu, though Rob Zombie's trailer in which he appears is a real weak link in otherwise total excellentness. And Edgar Wright's... Bwahahahahaha! Love!

Peace, Ghani

I saw it tonight! Twas awesome! There was hardly an audience at all, but that's the way I like it. The few that were there were laughing hysterically when Nic came on screen. We all were, lol. A couple of people even applauded, and I think that's a testament to just how jarring, hilarious, and awesome his cameo was. I heart him so.

The audience (what remained of it after Planet Terror, which a lot of people walked out after 0_o) went nuts when Nic came onscreen, the laughter was amazing. *ggg*
