I went to the premier in Austin last night. Wow, what an awesome event. Here are a few brief thoughts: One of the previews, that is being made into a movie, looks absolutely absurd and I am sure that it will be a joy to watch.

Planet Terror kept you laughing, groaning, and cringing the entire time. Enough action to keep you into it, enough campy gore to laugh at, and plenty of build up to have you cheering for the good guys. Rodriguez put together an A-rated, B-movie.

Death Proof was also enjoyable. I may have been antsy due to the cramped seating, but it seemed like there was a little lull in the middle. I didn't want to get up at intermission as I didn't want to miss the trailers. As Tarantino has done before, there is some great dialogue flying around the core group of actors.

I will definitely go see it again in the theater. I missed some of the dialogue due to the roar of the audience. However, I think having an interactive audience really adds to the experience.

Enjoy.

I haven't seen as fun/entertaining of a movie since....well....Old School. While I am well out of my teens...into the 30's actually, Stiller and gang still manage to bring out uncontrollable laugh out loud moments from a movie focusing on a childhood game. The first time I heard the dodging the wrench line, I almost cried. Just one of Patches great lines.

If you want to step out of reality and laugh, this is one to see....and buy as soon as it comes out on DVD. I have seen it twice and it only gets better.

Dodgeball!
