The thing that confuses me about QT is why doesn't he commit to the B-movie aesthetic and make the film for say, $100,000. I mean, get those A-list actors with their huge paychecks but stick to the production cost being ridiculously low.

I think the reason Grindhouse failed for me was because as sleazy and as greasy as he wanted it to come off it just didn't. It was too self-conscious and it lacked what all those films had, ingenuity. It should have a cheezy, poorly planned look to it. Making exploitation shouldn't cost a lot of money.

I thought Eli Roth's trailer for Thanksgiving was so pitch perfect it worked better than the film as a whole.

I agree -- the film should be made as closely to the impoverished aesthetic of the original. As for casting, I think the Britney thing is a stunt. There was also that other rumor: Tera Patrick in the Tura Santana role, which might make more sense.

Tera Patrick - I could definitely see that.

Oh yeah, and he should get his dry cleaner to shoot it.

love tarantino - loved 'death proof' - but man am i underwhelmed with this new rumor.

in a perfect world tarantino would ressurect the Philip Marlowe character. we haven't seen him since Altman's fantastic 'Long Goodbye', imagine what Tarantino could do with that world.
