Grindhouse

So you haven't seen 300 then. Well then how could you judge the movie then?



Also when I first came across this thread, I had only seen like 1 preview for Grindhouse on tv. Tonight while watching The Riches, there was a shitload of stuff about Grindhouse. To me it doesn't seem that much of a horror movie. I mean I did catch a glimpse of an occasional undead, but it seemed much more action oriented than horror. Still I think actually it will be a good movie. I'm gonna see it when it comes out.

Because I've seen the numerous previews at the movies and on TV. As for Grindhouse, I don't it's meant to be a horror film as everyone makes it out to be. Just because it's from Tarantino and Rodriguez doesn't mean it's a horror film. They specifically filmed it to be an exploitation film, and have those exploitable elements(Since you watched The Riches last night, and I did too, you'll know most of this. Exploitable elements are things like sexuality and gore and extreme violence). It does have some horror elements, but for the most part it's an exploitation/action film. Planet Terror could be called a horror/action I guess, but Death Proof is mainly a slasher flick.

So you judging a movie on previews only, wow, guess that makes sense.

That's what previews are for. To show you what the movie is about and help you decide to see it or not. That actually does make a lot of sense.

Movie trailers are film advertisements for films that will be exhibited in the future at a cinema, on whose screen they are shown; they are commonly known as previews of coming attractions. The term "trailer" comes from their having originally been shown at the end of a film programme. That practice did not last long, because patrons tended to leave the theater after the films ended, but the name has stuck. Trailers are now shown before the film (or the a-film in a double-bill programme) begins.

Trailers normally consist of a series of selected shots from the film being advertised. Since the purpose of the trailer is to attract an audience to the film, these excerpts are usually drawn from the most exciting, funny, or otherwise noteworthy parts of the film but in abbreviated form and without producing spoilers. A trailer has to achieve that in less than two and a half minutes, the maximum length allowed by theaters. Each studio or distributor is allowed to exceed this time limit once a year, if they feel it is necessary for a particular film.

Yeah I know that's the purpose for trailers and previews, but still one can't judge an ENTIRE movie off a movie trailer. I mean one could judge a movie by it's trailer, but then the judgement would be horribly flawed. Personally, before I judge a movie I see the movie.

Oh yeah good copy and paste job from Wikipedia.

That's what it's for buddy. And I said 300 looks gay, not the entire movie is gay.

 

[NicAuf]

Oh so the number 300 is gay, now I get it .
