What Emmanuelle Movie Did You Just Watch?

If I hear Tim Roth's panicked squealing ever again it will be too soon.

Hahaha!

The first half of Death Proof is a fucking embarrassment. The second half is fantastic.

Man, those nachos looked good though.

[Abraham Smashington]

That they did.

[Anderson]

It doesn't work because Death Proof is a fucking embarrassment of a movie.

So fucking wrong.

But, I'll indulge. Why is it an embarrassment?

[BillyG]

Because it's utter shit, but at least it's effective at curing insomnia.

[Captain Russ]

Thoughtful analysis.

[IggytheBorg]

The most common complaint I've heard is that Death Proof is too talky. For that reason, Planet Terror is probably better. But there were great elements to Death Proof. Kurt Russell as the sleazeball psycho, that great crash scene w/ the severed leg and all, the final chase & fight scene. . . It works on a couple of levels at least part of the time. But it isn't as tight or coherent a narrative as Planet Terror. Plus, Planet Terror has the helicopter vs. zombies scene.

Love Kurt Russell. Love the Stuntman Mike character. Could watch him shoot the shit and then murder people with his car for the rest of my days. Plus the axe-kick-heel-to-the-face at the end is one of the ultimate high-five moments, as much as I love Mike

Lethal Weapon. So good I can't stand it. As good if not better than I remembered. Mel Gibson was an intense guy. Yeah his other stuff is botthersome, but actors are entertainers, not priests. Ok. Engage the useless hate machine.

[B_Metal]

Fuck that, Uncle Mel be Uncle Mel'ing. Just waiting for his return to big time movie making.

After seeing this when I was 8 or 9 I remember my bro and I always roll firing when we would play cops and robbers.

I forgot to check back in on this. Why do you find it to be utter shit? Don't just say TOO MUCH TALKY, NOT ENOUGH ZOMBIE BONER DEATH.

[Abraham Smashington]

gave Wolverine another go because I feel asleep 20 mins into it the first time I watched it. Not bad, but not entirely engaging.

I think this proves (to me) that I just don't really care about Wolverine. I mean, it was neat to see him fight ninjas and that bullet train sequence is cool, but I wanted other mutants to show up and do some shit.

Powerless Wolverine is boring as fuck.

I hated the first half only because they weren't characters. They were Quentin with tits. And yeah he does that shit in every movie, but in the first half it was annoying as hell. It felt like a fucking parody. Once the first batch of girls were taken out I loved the movie.

And fuck the extended shit. The only cut of DP that I care about is the original Grindhouse one.

Well, genre rules in all in regards to not liking the first girls.


That being said, the only one who fit the QT with tits mode was Jungle Julia.

The parody thing wasn't unintentional. Most Eurotrash horror takes on American tropes played as straight rips. If anything, there's too much going on in Death Proof and that splits focus.
