Introductory Topic: A rant on Death Proof
Hello, Spill.com
It's about 5:38 am, my time, and I've decided to join Spill.com. I've been coming to this site for my movie reviews since about April or May. I usually tend to trust Korey, Cyrus and Co-Host when it comes to movies, but not Leon and Cyrus because they fuck everything up when it comes to good movies. Now, I specifically joined this thread to bitch about the Watchmen review which I felt deserved a god damned Full Price. However, I need time to think of how I should write this rant.
tl;dr I joined Spill to bitch about Watchmen review. I'll do something else instead. Cyrus and Leon suck.
You all will find that as I post in the forums my posts will tend to have obscenities occasionally. I'm not doing it to be edgy or something. My parents swore a lot, I swear a lot. Natural progression. So, I'm going to show you guys a review* I wrote upon seeing Death Proof for the first time. I did not like it.
*Not an actual review.
So, I'll copy and paste some of my writing just so you guys can get a general grasp of my personality and perhaps my taste in movies.
Okay, I just watched Tarantino's Death Proof for the first time. I ain't gonna lie, it was pretty good. My favourite part was the ending of the
movie. I'm not going to spoil it, but that motherfucker had it coming. I
know it's a parody of B movies because it's what Tarantino does. I'm
all for distorting the truth or rewriting it all together when it comes
to movies (such as Nazi occupied France).
However, I just cannot let this shit slide. The hospital scene where the sheriff is discussing Stuntman Mike with his deputy. There was just
no effort in that scene whatsoever and I felt really let down.
Basically, the sheriff is angry because he cannot do anything about what
has happened due to lack of evidence. This is where I start fuming. The
sheriff then brushes it off, but vowing that if Stuntman Mike does it
again "it won't be in my state" all the while getting worked up about
not being able to arrest him for what he did. I'm just going to say that
the sheriff is a fucking moron. Like omgwtf. Srsly.
There are three big pieces of evidence you can use to put Stuntman Mike away:
1. Rose McGowan's character. The sheriff said that there were eye witnesses who said they saw Stuntman Mike and her at the bar and he
offered to drive her home. While the two are at the intersection,
Stuntman Mike asks her if she lives to the left or right. She says she
lives to the right, but Stuntman Mike says it's too bad for her because
he's going left. So, after he goes left, he basically kills her. Now, if
the sheriff had done ANY research, he would notice that the accident
scene is miles away from McGowan's home. It's fucking miles away and in
the opposite direction of the way Stuntman Mike would have had to drive
if he drove her home. There you go, you have a kidnapping charge.
2. The state of the car. Stuntman Mike specifically refers to his car as a stunt car with the only real protection being the driver seat when
he's talking to McGowan. The girl gets into his car regardless of this
and gets herself killed knowing that there is no real protection for her
should there be an accident. There is no proper seat for her to sit on,
nor is there any seat belt for her to wear. There you go with another
thing to use against him in court.
3. Tire marks. The entire accident scene is Stuntman Mike driving passed the girls at a high speed up the road before he rips a u-turn and spins
off towards the girls in the other car. Now, anyone who has read even
the smallest articles about forensics knows that there are specialists
who analyze tire marks in accidents to determine how fast a car was
going before the accident. The sheriff wouldn't have even needed to call
in any specialists. In fact, all the sheriff would need to do is look
at the fucking road. You don't need a degree to match tires marks and
you sure as hell don't need to be a qualified professional to conclude
that the car Stuntman Mike was driving turned into the opposite lane and
drove head on into the other fucking car. There's your vehicular
homicide charge, you stupid inbred, redneck motherfucker.
God damn it, that pissed me off.
Fuck you, Tarantino.
Other than that, good movie.
Well, guys. There it is. D: I can only hope I don't come off as too unlikeable because I would quite like to enjoy my time on these forums.

Your an idiot, it's called a fuking opinion. How can you hate someone for not agreeing with your opinions? That's idiotic and childish.

Secondly that's not a review, it's just nit picking. Out of all the crap in that film you rant on about that?

I've noticed that a lot of discussions regarding this film seem to have lots of women/girls chirping in how much they liked the end, and even would like to have the chance to give some dude (ex-boyfriend/random jerk) that kind of come-uppance. Intriguing. I can't help but think that if the genders were reversed in a popular film with a similar sort of ending scene it may have sparked some controversy and outcry from the women's advocacy groups.

.These movie aren't meant for you to take seriously and pick apart every small detail of. It's just meant to be good classic fun that doesn't have to make sense.
Stuntman Mike doesn't die when he's in a brutal car crash, that right there is taking you out of a real life scenario and saying 'Hey, this is a movie, sit back with your popcorn and enjoy'
Pin pointing inaccuracy (if you can even call it that) just seems to be a waste of time.

There's nit picking and theres finding genuine holes in a story and I think thats what Creeden has done here. I love Deathproof for my own reasons but I too found it unbelievable (even for a Tarantino movie) that the cops would just let him go. It was pretty flimsy screenwriting but it's something you have to get over or else there would be no movie - but Creeden's definitely got a point.

Really? I think you both are completely missing the point.
You're trying to look for realism in a B-movie Grindhouse experience. They're not movies you should look at and question as much as watch and accept, and most of all enjoy.

I thought the dialogue with the sheriff and deputy was kinda funny. But more importantly, I think the general point with them is that they were there to collect a paycheck. If the options are 1) being champions of social justice or 2) doing something less bothersome (like following the NASCAR circuit), then sadly a very common and realistic outcome to that choice is the latter. Just another case of movies telling it like it is in their own way.
