I caught Tarantino's "Death Proof" on Friday night as they have been showing it on SKY Cinema the past couple of months.

Typical Tarantino, dialogue and all. Beautiful babes, hysterically silly at times. All in all a very entertaining movie.

I must say this about Tarantino. Although he loves sexy women (and he does seem to have a foot fetish in this one), you will never see any nudity in a Tarantino film.

A video made up of clips from "Death Proof" to the entertaining song, "Chick Habit".

Tarantino RULES!

Death Proof

markino, a couple of months ? what is it then ? 1 movie or a TV series ?

that clip, although repetitive at times, make me want to watch it

[pramzan]

Pabs - No.

"Death Proof" is a movie by Quentin Tarantino. They have been showing it on SKY the past two months on a regular basis, about once per week. IT was originally released with another movie as a double feature and it was called "Grindhouse".

Now it has been re-released by itself.

You aren't familiar with Tarantino's movies? Resevoir Dogs (didn't like it), Pulp Fiction (best movie of the 1990s in my opinion), Jackie Brown (just love Pam Grier; she has curves in all the right places), Kill Bill I & II and now Death Proof. There are other Tarantino films but I haven't watched them all.

Death Proof, in my opinion, is his best film since Pulp Fiction, even if I liked Jackie Brown plenty and both Kill Bills were very entertaining.

QT

I've seen all of his his flicks except for 'Reservoir Dogs' and 'Death Proof'.

And I agree that Pulp Fiction is the best movie of the 90's.

[agentesecreto]

Personally I prefer Deathblow.

[Pabs]

Do you even know what this scene is about ?

It's about a guy buying a loaf of bread.

No, bread is his soul. He's trying to buy back a loaf of his soul.

Wha? Where?

Death Proof

OK, I picked up the DVD at Blockbuster tonight.

It started off amazing. I was almost considering it one of my fav movies of all time. But after the first killing scene the movie went downhill so fast. It was a shit movie.

Hot chicks that swear gets old very fast. The foot fetish thing he had going was nice though, I have to admit.

0/5 Stars (4/5 for the first 30 minutes though)

[agentesecreto]

I give it two thumbs up........your ass.

"Mr Spud"??!??! Wasn't that also the name of one of the charachters in "Trainspotting"?

[Windycity]

Iron Man = good fun

Indiana Jones = ok

markino

just a question. Was Deathproof shown with subtitles or was it dubbed ?

With SKY, I get to see movies in English. I watched Death Proof in English.

However, I could have switched it to Italian and it would have been dubbed or I could have left it in English and turned on the Italian subtitles.

I recently watched a piece of the Piaf biography movie "La Vie En Rose". I watched it in it's original language (French) but turned on the Italian subtitles. For some reason I don't particularly care to watch dubbed movies. I prefer them in their original language with subtitles.

Really? I actually thought the second part of the movie was better. I loved Zoe Bell (a great stunt woman, by the way) and I LOVED the dialogue. I was LMAO when Kurt Russell was hurting.

How can you be a fan of Tarantino movies and not like the swearing, regardless if it's men or women doing the swearing?

My favorite chick in the movie was Vanessa Ferlito. Just love those New York girls with those thick New York accents. Sydney Poiter was hot too but too bitchy.

To each his own.

In case you missed this musical extravaganza, the winner was a chap called Dima Bilan from Russia with a song called ‘Believe’. It was appalling, an ineptly executed, over-emotional howl set to a faux disco beat that immediately told you that you were in an old Intourist hotel in Irkutsk in 1985 awaiting some atrocious dinner featuring boiled gristle and rice but not to worry, because the whores would be around quite soon. Many European countries are bad at pop music; surely none are quite as bad as the Russians.

LOL

a great 90's song (one of the very few) featuring a younger Katie Holmes in the video.

Michael Moore's Sicko

watched it today -- AMAZING

I heard a while back that a lot of it was exaggerated, but sort of hard to exaggerate the stuff with what was presented in this one.

[agentesecreto]

Pabs:

Some of it is indeed exaggerated but try having to sit in the room and telling the patient that they have to go get treatment for their cancer of broken bones elsewhere because the law only requires that non-profit hospitals to provide emergency medicine.

“Seinfeld” Actress Passes

Ruth Cohen, an actress who appeared in nearly every episode of “Seinfeld” as the cashier at Monk’s Cafe, died on August 23 of a heart attack.

According to Variety, actress Ruth Cohen, who appeared in more episodes of Seinfeld than anyone except the main stars, died on August 23 of a heart attack in Panorama City, California at the age of 78.

Cohen’s character on Seinfeld, the cashier at the Monk’s Café, was known by her real name, Ruthie Cohen. She appeared in nearly every episode of the series.

Cohen, who was born in the Bronx, began acting in the 1980s after raising two children, starting as an extra for shows including Golden Girls and Murder She Wrote.

A memorial service is scheduled for Thursday, Aug. 28 at 11:00 a.m. at Mount Sinai Hollywood Hills.

Cohen is survived by a daughter, a son, and two grandchildren.

RIP.

I had read that she was really just a prop. That most of the stuff was still background. I wonder how much she got in royalties. She was a guild member and a couple of times had talking parts. Remember George as King George episode?

[Pabs]

I don't think I remember that one but she had about 2 or 3 talking bits.

Like the time George was pissed off and said that he was going to use the 4 minutes he had remaining at his parking meter. Then when he finished spazzing out he asked her what she was grinning at. And she replied "your car is on fire"

I wonder if that really was Jon Voigts car.

[agentesecreto]

That was one of two I think. She also rides a horse in that one.
RIP, she was fortunate to have been on the best show ever.

Mad Men on AMC -- Sundays at 10pm

http://www.amctv.com/originals/madmen/

has anybody else seen this show on AMC ? I saw it for the first time yesterday and was blown away.

Highly Recommended

[Aircalzinho Paulista]

What did you guys think of Planet Terror ( the Robert Rodriguez feature in "Grindhouse")?

How about The Dark Knight?

Pabs,

Sicko is a great movie to watch.. Even though many people say it is exaggerated.... it brings up many issues..

[Pabs]

Air Cal

never saw either movie.

What does she mean "AGAIN" ?

Whoopi Goldberg asks John McCain if she's going to become a slave again on The View



transcript and video is on link...

Uhm, "Whoopi Goldberg" if that's your real name, you were NEVER a slave. Dumb cunt. How the hell did she make it in Hollywood anyways ?

[agentesecreto]

Do you have the ability to understand complex concepts?

[Pabs]

complex concepts ?

what ? She was never a slave. And by the way palo, blacks were not the only race that has been enslaved. Whites and Jews were as well.

[agentesecreto]

It is the equivalent of asking the Jews to get over the Holocaust. Spend some time with people of color or ethnicities that have been historically abused and you may gain some insight.

[Pabs]

oh lord kumbaya...

[agentesecreto]

there is your answer. You lack the ability for empathy.


Are you aware that you have psychopathic traits?

[Pabs]

oh is this where you pretend to be a psycho-analyst again ?

what's next, pretending to be a marine biologist ?

[agentesecreto]

you're a sad case.

There are some sociological studies (conducted by jews) that have been repeated on the issue of antisemitism in Russia. And indeed, it does exist to some extent, but not to the great extent that usual media coverage would indicate.
To quote Inna Rivkina (jew herself and conducting a couple of studies)"but the jew believes he is in the centre of the world and always frightened". And indeed, historically they have at a couple of instances been rather quick to let themselves be abused. That doesn't of course exculpate the holocaust but it doesn't distract from that they were quite eager to help the bolsheviks in their cruel acts in the initial stage of implementing communism since they felt oppressed by the Czar family, which was basically seen as Gods representatives on earth by the dominant orthodox church.

A somewhat interesting fact is also that quite a couple of families that have immigrated to israel have returned to russia because they feel as being treated as second class citizens in Israel.

But just as that the majority is not always right (as in nazi Germany) peoples feelings of being violated may not always correspond with objective facts in reality.

My grandmother was for a while in trouble due to excrecising what would now be just an ordinary practice of excercising her freedom of speech but you don't see me and descendants of people like her lining up claiming access to some professional victims fund from industrial sweden like the children and grandchildren to those in former communist countries does (not to mention demands from for instance UN about "violated rights" as regards various "natmens" that already have considerably larger scope of rights compared to the rest of the population).

Pedophilia is not something to ignore. It requires castration or worse.
