I always thought that QT was best behind a desk writing. His dialog's were great, but I really could take or leave his directorial efforts. The best parts of any of his films (in my opinion of course) have been two actors having a conversation.

Rodriguez on the other hand... I haven't seen El Mariachi or Desperado, but tried to pick up "Once Upon a time in Mexico" I really didn't care for it, though I don't know why. My Stepdaughter loves "Spy Kids" though lol.

This is the first QT effort that I really have no desire to see.

Wow, I'm shocked there are so many QT haters. I think he's a genious.

Yeah, his violence is over the top, but it's supposed to be. It's like when you watch anime and everyone has coffee cup sized eyes or film noir and everyone is bathed in shadows.

I haven't seen a Robert Rodriguez that I didn't like. He's Austin, not Hollywood.

Rodriguez and Tarentino should be an excellent meld. I see 2 - 3 films a year in a theater. Grindhouse might be one of them.

Well, the movie was so so - but the skits however...

I particularly enjoyed the Mexican Day Worker who was hired as an assassin, but in reality was a Federali (sp?), with Cheech playing the Padre toting a shotgun.

And yea, the lines about "I never miss were good up to the end - though the Pegleg with a minigun on her stump was over the top."
