I'm the opposite. I personally feel Death Proof was much closer in execution to a real grindhouse film. IE: they weren't non-stop eye candy -- they were usually low fucking budget with lots of scenes that had no real point but to kill time. So to me it was spot-on. Again, I'm a big fan of seriously bad cinema. Not just campy, but straight up bad. So yeah. I love Death Proof. Nothing in it bored me in the least. Trust me. I've sat through soooo much worse.

noise, you've got a point, many grindhouse films had USELESS scenes that were used as filler but nothing is as bad as Death Proof. But the car chase scenes are absolute masterpieces.

I love terrible cinema too, I love Russ Meyers's films, most rape/revenge flicks, Vampyros Lesbos, Chinese Torture Chamber Story (That film's hilarious), Zombi 2, Buio Omega, The Beyond, Rabid, Axe, Basket Case, Blood Feast, etc.

And I actually like many videogame adaptations, I loved Silent Hill and Mortal Kombat and I enjoyed RE: Afterlife 3D a lot.

As others have stated, Nolan was just ending it in a way to mess with you. Momento did they same thing as you're not sure if Leonard will finally have some peace he can never understand or if he does understand a little and tainted your opinion of him.

I think it's a really fun and imaginative film. Bob Hoskins, John Leguizamo, and Dennis Hopper are all three absolutely great in it. Really underrated.

So yeah you can count me among the people who genuinely love that film. Wish it'd release on blu ray.
