It is very, very different to Planet Terror.

Seconded.
I've actually seen Planet Terror months ago, and loved it; but from what I knew about Death Proof I thought - maybe I'm not going to like it, what if it's boring etc. because as far as I know people don't tend to like it too much.
But it's astounding that for a good 75% of the movie there's really
nothing happening, it's basically chicks hanging out, and despite that, it's not boring in the least, quite contrary, I had great fun with the movie every minute. So I take my hat off to Tarantino.
Also the final car chase is totally exciting to watch and the ending just had me in tears of laughter. I do think though, that watching the movie in its entirety makes for a great build-up towards the climax... Brilliant and I recommend this to anybody who likes Tarantino in the least
Looking forward to Inglourious Basterds or however it should be spelled
Also, I re-watched Lost in Translation this weekend and it was even better this time around. That movie is just wonderful... and somehow it leaves such a good feeling when it's over, despite the sort of bittersweet ending.
