    Presents QUENTIN TARANTINO’S DEATH PROOF Only at the Grindhouse Final Production Notes as of 5/15/07 International Press Contacts: PREMIER PR (CANNES FILM FESTIVAL) THE WEINSTEIN COMPANY Matthew Sanders / Emma Robinson Jill DiRaffaele Villa Ste Hélène 5700 Wilshire Blvd., Suite 600 45, Bd d’Alsace Los Angeles, CA 90036 06400 Cannes Tel: 323 207 3092 Tel: +33 493 99 03 02 [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] From the longtime collaborators (FROM DUSK TILL DAWN, FOUR ROOMS, SIN CITY), two of the most renowned filmmakers this summer present two original, complete grindhouse films packed to the gills with guns and guts. Quentin Tarantino’s DEATH PROOF is a white knuckle ride behind the wheel of a psycho serial killer’s roving, revving, racing death machine. Robert Rodriguez’s PLANET TERROR is a heart-pounding trip to a town ravaged by a mysterious plague. Inspired by the unique distribution of independent horror classics of the sixties and seventies, these are two shockingly bold features replete with missing reels and plenty of exploitative mayhem. The impetus for grindhouse films began in the US during a time before the multiplex and state-of- the-art home theaters ruled the movie-going experience. The origins of the term “Grindhouse” are fuzzy: some cite the types of films shown (as in “Bump-and-Grind”) in run down former movie palaces; others point to a method of presentation -- movies were “grinded out” in ancient projectors one after another. Frequently, the movies were grouped by exploitation subgenre. Splatter, slasher, sexploitation, blaxploitation, cannibal and mondo movies would be grouped together and shown with graphic trailers.

  • 275. – Part One
    275. – PART ONE 275. Clifford (1994) Okay, here’s the deal: I don’t know you, you don’t know me, but if you are anywhere near a television right now I need you to stop whatever it is that you’re doing and go watch “Clifford” on HBO Max. This is another film that has a 10% score on Rotten Tomatoes which just leads me to believe that all of the critics who were popular in the nineties didn’t have a single shred of humor in any of their non-existent funny bones. I loved this movie when I was seven, and I love it even more when I’m thirty-three. It’s genius. Martin Short (who at the time was forty-four) plays a ten-year-old hyperactive nightmare child from hell. I mean it, this kid might actually be the devil. He is straight up evil, conniving, manipulative and all-told probably causes no less than ten million dollars-worth of property damage. And, again, the plot is so simple – he just wants to go to Dinosaur World. There are so many comedy films with such complicated plots and motivations for their characters, but the simplistic genius of “Clifford” is just this – all this kid wants on the entire planet is to go to Dinosaur World. That’s it. The movie starts with him and his parents on an plane to Hawaii for a business trip, and Clifford knows that Dinosaur Land is in Los Angeles, therefore he causes so much of a ruckus that the plane has to make an emergency landing.

Romero, revealing, notably, how they reflect specific social concerns. In order to determine what makes the zombie movie and the figure of the zombie so productive of political readings, this article examines, first, the classic zombie movies influenced by voodoo lore, then Romero’s initial living dead trilogy (1968-1985), and finally some of the most successful films released in the 2000s.

Thomas Schatz showed unflagging confidence in the project‟s value and in my ability to finish it. Sharon Strover offered feedback and encouragement at key moments and generously provided workspace in the crucial last months. James Hay was a wonderful source of challenging questions and reassurance. Bruce Hunt and Nancy Schiesari provided new perspectives on this subject that I greatly appreciated. Also, William Christ and Jennifer Henderson kindly hired me to teach at Trinity University for several semesters running and another Trinity colleague, Patrick Keating, helped invigorate this project with his research and our conversations. My graduate colleagues Kyle Barnett, Avi Santo, Hollis Griffin, Alison Perlman, and Holly Custard have encouraged me with welcome feedback and timely commiseration. The cinematographers and filmmakers that spoke with me were remarkably generous with their time. There are too many to thank here, but Curtis Clark, the chairman of the ASC Technology Committee, deserves a special mention for sharing his unique perspective and great knowledge.

Estrada and Sylvia Sensiper Preface The Los Angeles Rebellion, which broke out over the last days of April 1992, was a short but expressive symptom of a deep malaise at the heart of urban America. As brief as it was, the Rebellion was a predictable outcome of the festering crisis in Los Angeles where deprivation, social marginalization, and powerlessness exist cheek-by-jowl with extraordinary wealth, privilege and opportunity. And while South-Central Los Angeles is the single most concentrated focus of the crisis—just as it was the principal site of the Rebellion—the conditions that define the crisis as such, recur persistently in many other parts of Southern California, and indeed in other parts of the United States at large.
