Planet Terror
Yes, I know, I know: I'm supposed to be critical of vulgar, tasteless movies and other pop art that might contribute to the moral decline of our culture and such, but I'm just bursting with glee at the trailer for Robert Rodriguez's Planet Terror, his half of Grindhouse, the double feature homage to the ultraviolent schlock genre flicks of the 70s that he's doing with genre-film mashup genius Quentin Tarantino. Yes, it's bloody and shameless and juvenile and all sorts of morally void. And, just like Rodriguez's last grisly paean to black-hearted pulp, Sin City, I'm going to love every minute of it.
A note of warning: this trailer probably isn't for everyone. It's not quite R-rated (and I'm sure it'll be nothing compared to the film), but it's definitely toward the gruesome (and just flat out absurd) edges of PG-13.

How do you come down on From Dusk Till Dawn?
I can't defend every bit of it on high art aesthetic grounds, but I am a huge fan, and I think it's better than most folks give it credit for.
I'll drink to that!
