Miscellaneous Movie Musings

Everybody I know who has seen it has pretty strongly agreed that the Tarantino half is light years better than the Rodriguez half.

What are your thoughts on the two halves?

I believe they're being released independently in Europe. It'll be interesting to see how they perform.

Christy Lemire, an AP critic filling in for Roger Ebert on Ebert and Roeper, definitely felt otherwise. she thought the Tarantino half almost killed the joy of the whole outing. Roeper disagreed. You can see their reviews here.

This opens on my birthday (Friday the 6th) and I hope to be there for it.

I think the three people I saw it with felt that Rodriguez's was the better and more fun. For me, it was about the entire experience: the fake trailers and the two movies all seen together in one sitting. Separately, they might not work at all. All together, movie-going gold.
