Kurt Russell actually is in Grindhouse. He plays an evil stuntman in the second feature.

If he's not Snake, he's not in it.

The whole point of "Grindhouse" is to make a tribute piece to the cheesetastic b-movies of the late 60's/70's that were horribly written, horribly acted, and were low budget. The types of movies that were shown as the cheap midnight double feature at your local "grindhouse" theater.
Get it?

And already Machete, one of the trailers in the movie, will be made into its own film in the same sort of style.

Looks like it might wind up with an NC-17 rating (but people will still see it in droves no doubt):
From http://www.nypost.com/seven/03152007/gossip/pagesix/pagesix.htm
"March 15, 2007 -- THE people who dole out ratings at the Motion Picture Assn. of America just might flip out when they see "Grindhouse," Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez's tribute to the ultraviolent, nudity-drenched pictures that once screened 'round the clock in the grungy movie palaces of 42nd Street.
The Weinstein Company, which is releasing the picture April 6 through its Dimension Films arm, needs an R rating for the flick to get into mainstream theaters. But, "some of it is so graphic and outrageous for a major Hollywood studio, there's no question it's headed for an NC-17 without big cuts," says a Page Six operative, who got a sneak peek at the most over-the-top footage.
"Grindhouse" is actually two short movies - one directed by Tarantino, the other by Rodriguez - with an intermission between them. During the break, a series of fake trailers will be shown for such fictitious titles as "Werewolf Women of the SS," directed by Rob Zombie.
"In one scene, a cute, topless girl is roughly tied down on a table by evil female Nazi experimenters who begin draining her blood and, as she screams in agony, they brand her like livestock with a coal-hot steel swastika," our source said. "And every girl in the Nazi concentration camp is topless."
Another trailer, directed by Eli Roth, of "Hostel" fame, is called "Thanksgiving," in which a town's celebration of Turkey Day is interrupted by a mad slasher.
"There's a part where Jordan Ladd [daughter of Cheryl Ladd of 'Charlie's Angels'] is in a car with her boyfriend and giving him [oral sex] when she lovingly reaches to stroke his hair and discovers his neck is just a bloody stump - some maniac had just cut off his head while she was in the act."
Later, a frisky cheerleader climbs onto a trampoline and begins stripping naked as she jumps up and down until she does a split and her skirt blows up without panties underneath. "You get the full 'Britney Spears-getting-out-of-the-limo view,' " our source says. Another jolting scene shows a grossly obese man chewing on a baby.
How much of these moviegoers will end up seeing is anybody's guess. "Some cuts definitely will have to be made. There's no question," conceded one studio insider. A Dimension rep declined comment."
God I hope they keep it as is. I'd still wanna see it, if not even more so now.

Yeah, I'd love it as an NC-17 flick. But either way, I'm SO there.

It's a good time for movies right now. We're getting weird ass films like "300", "Black Snake Moan", and "Grindhouse".
And as someone who loves bad movies and likes to make tribute films to the genre every now and then, I'm glad as hell "Grindhouse" exists. It might be a failed experiment, but it shows what fanboys could achieve.

Isn't it a little harsh to be calling it a failure before it's even released?

I think you misread me; I didn't call it a failure. I'm rooting for it.
But, we can't forget those films like "Sky Captain" that were failed experiments. However, Sky Captain helped make it possible for a movie like "300" to get made, which built upon the concept. There's still some improvements needed, but green screen films have promise.
Back to Grindhouse, it's not a revolutionary new concept, but it is an experiment of sorts. I already know some people will respond to it and others will not. It's fate will lie on how people accept it.
Take for instance Sin City, it made money and a lot of people love it. But there's still those who think it was failed experiment at properly adapting Miller... but that's another thread altogether.
For the record, I liked Sky Captain. I love Sin City. I love 300. And I'll see Grindhouse opening day.

I'm glad you are ok with ruining a classic. I certainly agree that ruining a classic for the cause of nothing is else other than being a stupid homo, is OK!

"!=" is an odd choice for an operator as it doesn't directly show which one is better, which is what most people do in an argument. Not a big deal; I'm just being a nitpicking bitch about code.
