The question is whether Quentin Tarantino gets the balance of gore and humor right… I’m gonna attend … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… If it’s Robert Rodriguez, it’s sure to feature tons of wacky greenscreen stuff: kids bouncing off pillows the size of planets to escape Day-glo monsters or somesuch. If Rodriguez can whip it on his Mac, he can slap a goofy kid into it and call it a … more…
