On The Fence

Not sure if I find this idea refreshing and brazen and fun, or just another cutesy exercise in More Meta Than Thou gimmickry from Tarantino. The guy's a huckster like William Castle, and maybe not all that much more talented either.

This trailer's a bit longer and more explanatory than the ones running on TV.

But with Willis and Kurt Russell (and is that Rose McGowan?), I guess I pretty much have to see it.

But using the crappiest filmstock available, and then artificially aging it/scuffing it/fading it to boot? Not cool, dudes. Not cool at all.

The Hobo With A Shotgun trailer I posted a while ago comes from this movie. Apparently in between the "features" they play trailers for other "movies" that will be playing soon.

PS: You know Rodriguez is going to smoke Tarantino, just like he did in Four Rooms. Why does Rodriguez have to continue playing warm-up act for Tarantino? People still like Rodriguez. He's improving, rather than regressing, as a director.

Amusing: The 12 Days of Bruce Willis.
