Was it really that bad? I saw it in the theater, and just last night on DVD, and I really liked it both times. It's raunchy and exploitative, gory, tense and manages to pay homage to B-movies of the past. Blood, sex and Techniolor! Lots of dumb, mean rednecks getting slashed, what more can you ask for? I think it's his best movie. I'm just surprised to see that it got a 26% on Rotten Tomatoes and a lot of the reviewers seemed to talk about the original as a masterpiece, which it most definitely was not. Let's be honest. It was boring. It was!
I'm normally in agreement with critics as far as movies go, but this...Whu??
What's your take?

This is a poster for "The Birds" from Poland in 1965 (ptaki means birds). Great design, and way ahead of its time. It looks like a thousand shirts from Hot Topic do today, and it's 42 years old! Notice that they changed Hitchcock's name to "Alfreda Hitchcocka". Sounds delicious, doesn't it? Why didn't they mess with Tippi Hedren?

It's too bad that we live in this futuristic utopia, isn't it? Just think, stuff like this would go straight to video these days. No more seedy theaters and no more kick-ass posters!

Guess I made that one too easy! Congratulations to C. Wright for correctly answering "Audition".
And shame on C. Wright for thinking it was a horrible movie. That is a lie and he is a filthy liar.
Chris is also a talented artist. His cute and disturbing drawings definitely deserve a minute of your time.

The stills are from the original
"Gone in 60 Seconds"(1974). Quentin Tarantino used the row of sunglasses on the dash in Kill Bill 2 when the cop pulls up to the chapel/murder scene.
"Gone in 60 Seconds" was financed, written, directed, acted and stunted(?) by H.B. "Toby" Halicki, who died from an on-set accident while filming "Gone in 60 Seconds 2".
The film boasts "over 300 crashes!" and the final chase scene lasts about 30 minutes. The rest looks like the Beastie Boys 'Sabotage' video, only longer.
