Yes! I assumed the movies would be taking place in the seventies, so I found the cells and such amusingly jarring - I didn't realize they were "supposed" to be set in present day until Stuntman Mike was all, "You girls have never heard of any of those shows, have you?"
I fully support an Ash/Cherry team-up of awesome, but it could never happen. The collective hot, you see, would melt the film right inside the camera. (Seriously, Rose McGowan has never done anything for me before, but she was, as you said - and as I told someone else the other day - fucking smokin' in Planet Terror.)
I love how the zombie makeup got increasingly elaborate as the movie went along. That reveal of Bruce Willis having suddenly turned into, basically, a tumor on legs cracked me up.
I am amused that Machete is supposed to become a real movie, because when I was watching the trailer, I was thinking, "Too bad this is fake, because I'd see that." I just hope they keep it all overblown and ridiculous and don't try to streamline it into - oh, hell, this is Rodriguez I'm talking about. It will be CRAZY.
I liked all of Death Proof, because I happen to be a sucker for character stuff (and possibly because I'm not really familiar with Tarantino's work, so I had no expectations), but if I were to go see it now, knowing that that insanely awesome car chase is coming? I would be bored to TEARS. That would have to be the point where I would slip out to grab a bite to eat before the good stuff started.
In conclusion, THE KNIFE THROUGH THE TRAMPOLINE AUGH HELP.
