The number 23 and movies, only without the comedian guy to muck it all up
Holy crap I've seen two movies on the big screen in such close proximity. Okay wait, no that's three movies but in two sittings, and one of them had a 3 in the title. Yeah, it all ties together I promise.
Anyway, Grindhouse was the double feature of the Santa Maria weekend project - Laz and Shygirl (tho she had to bail out cuz she'd been feelin puny... aw!) and Wolf and I pocketed in burgers and liquor. I didn't drink any in the theater though. I didn't need to. We'd been playing Cthulhu 500 as a drinking game earlier and I was still well on my swerve. I had a great time. I laughed my ass off. Planet Terror is amazingly funny and so very B. The intermissions were pretty cool. Death Proof was good and worth it, but it kinda got on this long Tarantino conversation loop. After about the 4th chatty chat setup I was nearly ready to shout out "Will somebody please throw a pie!" or something. It still pays off though, so don't fret about that.
Then tonight the Tornado and I nearly had the theater for ourselves for the 300. Let me get this out of the way:
Woof.
Okay. That was a pretty damn good watch. The fights are really bitchin' and it was just really great to look at. So worth the big screen treatment - this is one reason I'm so particular about what I see on the big white wall. It does get a tad on the heavy handed, hammy deliveries, especially when you know they're about to set up a portrait shot, but still - so pretty.
And leather jockstraps.
