Come on. Alot of reviews on rottentomatos seemed like many thought Death Proof was a better flick. I know on Ebert and Roeper, they both thought when they reviewed it twice. Roeper and the 2 guest critics both enjoyed Death Proof More.
I can see people not liking it because its a different pace then Planet terror. but its a better movie on its own. I liked the Pace and I thought the dialouge was excellent. I liked Death Proof more then Kill Bill Vol 1 and Jackie Brown.
I would give the trailers a 10/10, Planet terror 7.5/10 and Death Proof 9.5/10

Overall, I still LOVED Grindhouse for the whole feel of the 3+ hours.

I was hoping to finally see it this weekend. Any confirmation that the Weinstein's are going to split it into 2 movies? I know these movies have done horrible in the box office...Is the running time killing it?

For myself, if it were split, I'd only buy Death Proof on release day.
But if they did, you know that they'd split up the fake trailers too, so you'd HAVE to buy both to get them all.

Machete would play before Planet Terror (therefore be included on its dvd), and Werewolf Women of the S.S, Don't, and Thanksgiving would play before Death Proof (therefore the Death Proof DVD would have these three).

Presumably the first half of DP takes place before PT and the second half takes place after (post end of Texas).

Theory:
The second half of Death Proof takes place BEFORE the first half and is Stuntman Mike's "Revenge" from what happened to him in the second half of Death Proof.
Putting both Death Proof before Planet Terror completely and the world being overtaken by Zombies.
Further, Death Proof still sucked, despite if you look at it as being in a different order.
