Planet Terror

Saw Planet Terror. It was ridiculous. There's very little characterization that isn't broad and easy and kind of hostile and aggressive. Of course though, that's not the point of this movie. The point of this movie is to have a chick with a fucking gun for a leg. And in that respect, oh boy did it deliver. A kick-ass movie that keeps running along breathlessly from one awesome spectacle to the next. I loved the spectacle and the sort of self-parodying uber-macho-ness. In my wimp-itude, I wish it had been a bit kinder (especially to the poor female anesthetist. What'd she do besides marry a psychopath?) but of course had it not been so blood-n-guts it wouldn't be this awesome, glorious, ridiculous movie.
