how comes this movie's got 6.6?

"Stop the damn Tarantino name dropping... makes me wanna puke!"

I second that! And No damn remake, either!




You! Off my planet!

100% in agreement. As soon as I see Tarantino's name being cited in reference to any real exploitation movie, I know I'm dealing with a neophyte. If Tarantino's movies had half the originality of this movie (make that one-tenth) I might like them better.

In terms of the adage "mediocre artists borrow, great artists steal," Tarantino is a total borrower. His main "talent" is taking bits from other (usually more entertaining) movies, putting them in a blender, and presenting them as his own creative work so that MST3K-suckled fanboys can point out which movies he's referencing. This is not a substitute for true artistic vision, which Faster, Pussycat! has in spades.

And to all the people complaining how bad or poorly made this movie is, you also obviously have little experience with exploitation. To use an overused cliché, there are literally hundreds of exploitaton movies that make this look like Citizen Kane on every level. Not to mention thousands of "straight" movies, particularly in the last 20 years or so.

BTW, Death Proof was one of the most excruciating movies I've ever seen. Other than the opening credits sequence (which I'll admit was pretty well done), I found it boring (the ultimate sin in an exploitation movie), with embarrassingly self-reflexive dialogue, and I couldn't wait for it to be over. Even the stunts were dull and unexciting. QT should just let Rodriguez direct all his movies (Planet Terror blew the socks off any Tarantino movie to date, and captured the classic exploitation feel much better than DP).
