DVD? Problem solved. Grind House is still the best movie I've seen this year. I think the only way Death Proof could have been better is if Nicky Katt were in it. DVD? Problem solved.

They had stuff going on. The other group didn't have any character, all their segment was about was talking about Vanishing Point, which is sort of a meta-conversation. Add to that typical moviegenre-scenes like the "you can't"-scene, and you get a muddled sense of nothingness. You're talking as if because Zoe Bell is named Zoe in the movie it's like a documentary all of a sudden. The girls at the bar felt way more real to me. They had stuff going on.

Shit. The woman has near ZERO credibility in the film circles I happen to swim in. Good at shit-stirring -- yes. But she’s a gossip hound, people-magazine type of ‘journalist.’ From what I’ve read of her, damn near the anti-christ if you get on her bad side! Nikki Finke as a source!!?? Shit.
