I'm sorry to say I did not watch them as a double feature. I'm even sorrier that I did not see them as a double feature in the theater. What was I thinking?But let me talk about Planet Terror. I love the bad print effects and the trailer for Machete. I love the inconsistencies, like how the lady cop's uniform suddenly is torn off into a little sexy top, and how she suddenly becomes part of the biochemist's team.
Rose McGowan as Cherry Darling is every woman's fabulous shadow. I love Jeff Fahey. I love Jeff Fahey and Michael Beihn as brothers. I love the bitchy twins.
I laughed, I cried.
I loved Cherry's dance moves that came together in the end to make her such a badass. I loved that Marlee Shelton as Josh Brolin's wife was a cheating dyke, and not only that, her lover was Fergie from the Black-Eyed Peas.
It's so chock full I can't even list all the things I love about this movie. Little moments that are so great.
At Blockbuster there are regularly only two copies of Planet Terror on a whole wall of Planet Terror boxes. There are a lot more copies of Death Proof and I hope that is not meaningful in terms of the movie quality.
