Apparently Rodriguez started banging Rose McGowen during filming. His wife (mother to his 5 kids) found out and divorced his ass. Dude went on a crazy cocaine/booze binge afterwards. It got so bad that Harvey Weistein flew down to Austin to b*tch slap his ass coz he ran over budget/production. The worst part is his wife is his buisness partner on all his films/production company. That "Jawbreaker" is going to cost him some serious $$$$. Lets hope his personal problems lend some emotional depth to Planet Terror.
makes you wonder how much you liked someone if you would get involved with them when they have done everything you can probably think of with marilyn manson. ponder that
Definitely looks cheesy. Look, Tarantino always played to the violent...but at least he did it with some meaning in Pulp Fiction. It's been a long time since his films MEANT anything. I think Pulp Fiction is absolutely brilliant. I don't have high hopes for this, though.
2nd trailer is out. It's going to be tough to watch this in theatres without a boner. Hot chicks. Explosions. Violence. Car chases. It has it all. <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/eBQz7KCXlyk"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/eBQz7KCXlyk" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>
Sweet! Can't wait for the dvd after reading the description of some of these scenes that are sure to be cut. http://www.nypost.com/seven/03152007/gossip/pagesix/pagesix.htm RATING WOES FOR 'GRINDHOUSE' PrintEmailDigg ItStory Bottom March 15, 2007 -- THE people who dole out ratings at the Motion Picture Assn. of America just might flip out when they see "Grindhouse," Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez's tribute to the ultraviolent, nudity-drenched pictures that once screened 'round the clock in the grungy movie palaces of 42nd Street. The Weinstein Company, which is releasing the picture April 6 through its Dimension Films arm, needs an R rating for the flick to get into mainstream theaters. But, "some of it is so graphic and outrageous for a major Hollywood studio, there's no question it's headed for an NC-17 without big cuts," says a Page Six operative, who got a sneak peek at the most over-the-top footage. "Grindhouse" is actually two short movies - one directed by Tarantino, the other by Rodriguez - with an intermission between them. During the break, a series of fake trailers will be shown for such fictitious titles as "Werewolf Women of the SS," directed by Rob Zombie. "In one scene, a cute, topless girl is roughly tied down on a table by evil female Nazi experimenters who begin draining her blood and, as she screams in agony, they brand her like livestock with a coal-hot steel swastika," our source said. "And every girl in the Nazi concentration camp is topless." Another trailer, directed by Eli Roth, of "Hostel" fame, is called "Thanksgiving," in which a town's celebration of Turkey Day is interrupted by a mad slasher. "There's a part where Jordan Ladd [daughter of Cheryl Ladd of 'Charlie's Angels'] is in a car with her boyfriend and giving him [oral sex] when she lovingly reaches to stroke his hair and discovers his neck is just a bloody stump - some maniac had just cut off his head while she was in the act." Later, a frisky cheerleader climbs onto a trampoline and begins stripping naked as she jumps up and down until she does a split and her skirt blows up without panties underneath. "You get the full 'Britney Spears-getting-out-of-the-limo view,' " our source says. Another jolting scene shows a grossly obese man chewing on a baby. How much of these moviegoers will end up seeing is anybody's guess. "Some cuts definitely will have to be made. There's no question," conceded one studio insider. A Dimension rep declined comment.
i'm sure she showers... hell, I'd do her...facewise she's my type, dark hair on light skin, pouty lips...
I caught a little bit of a special they had on FX, maybe it's on youtube, haven't checked yet, but they talk about some of the plans they have for when they edit it. Rodriguez was saying something about how sometimes, the movies had to be edited at the theater and it would be obvious where a scene was spliced out and since he shot it in digital, he'll have to use computers to get that rough jerky cut feel. Another thing he mentioned is that projectionists would cut out a frame of their favorite nude actress and it would also be obvioius when you are watching certain scenes that a frame has been lifted.
Only a few weeks away, can't wait to see these flicks! I read somewhere that machete is getting his own, direct to dvd, movie as well
Guys, if you're going to go see this movie, do yourself a favor and see it at the Drafthouse in Austin. It's the PERFECT venue to watch a Grindhouse double-feature, and I'm sure they'll do a big event opening, since QT and RR are friends of the theater, and go there all the time to watch movies.
Correct. http://www.cinemablend.com/new/SXSW-Grindhouse-101-4656.html But the big scoop of the day came when Robert revealed that he’s planning a solo movie for actor Danny Trejo’s Machete character. If you’ve seen any of the kickass trailers for Grindhouse, then you’ve seen Trejo as Machete, a bad ass dude with, well, two machetes. Robert’s answer was, surprisingly, absolutely. He is doing a Machete spin-off movie, and it’s likely going to be direct to DVD. Rodriguez seemed pretty adamant about this, as if the film is already a done deal.

You know what's missing? SAMUEL L. JACKSON! How can you have a throwback "sploitation" film without him? Otherwise looks entertaining but its not like people have stopped making these type of movies. Tromo films, the guys who did Surf Nazi's Must Die have been doing exactly the same thing along with the guys who made the Bikini Bandits movie. Anyway the straight to video market and Skinemax are the later day grindhouses and there's no shortage of schlock being produced for those.
those were splendid! the first two moreso than the third. lmao! i'd go see all of 'em. hell... i'd go see all of 'em at edwards theatre where they charge you 621 bucks for parking and 938 bucks for the movie tickets.
