Half the people in my theater walked out during the opening scene. I've seen every Tarantino movie many times and this was just wordy for no other reason than extending the play time. I can't quote anything they said, and hardly recall what they were talking about in the first place. Now compare that to the beginning of Reservoir Dogs at the diner. I can remember them talking about Madonna's Like a Virgin, Steve Buscemi explaining how he doesn't leave tips, the other guys giving him shit. It was a great way to be introduced to the character's and what makes them tick. The chicks in Death Proof were just a bunch of gossiping tits with white teeth. That Australian stunt woman was the only interesting person besides Kurt.
Tarantino says the full-cut version of Deathproof is vastly different in tone and in pacing than the Grindhouse version. I bet it's better.

As usual, I can't tell if you're being serious, or if this is just a drunken attempt at internet-irony... but CoM was fast-paced, atmosopheric, and thoroughly brilliant and underrated. Its snubbing at the Oscars was a shame.
Children of men had "liberal made movie" all over it. I mean come on, a burnout hippie, a freedom fighter for immigrants of weak races, and a pregnant black girl? It was a good idea but it was poorly executed, imho.

It allegedly had a quantity of biblical references as well, in addition to the liberal elements. I usually just shrug at movies that try to make a statement, but as an action movie I liked it a lot. The screenplay was brilliant; the action flowed well between more peaceful scenes and the movie didn't try to explain too much worthless shit about the setting. I never lost interest watching it.
The Fountain - redefines boredom, mixes it with all the possible soap opera cliches and is not even saved by good acting. Teh graphix rule, but that's the only thing that kept me awake during the movie. And I thought Aronofsky rocks...
