Planet Terror

While watching planet terror these are some of the things that stood, which I then did some further research into. 

Useless Talents 

"Dr. Dakota Block: at some point in your life, you find a use for every useless talent you ever had. It's like connecting the dots."

The Missing Reel

The full film has an old movie feel to it. It started with a fake trailer, the footage has a gritty feel to it as if it is playing off an old projector, halfway through the film a message appears saying that their is a missing reel, as if you were in the cinema. 

I went on to research more into why they wanted to to have an old cinema feel to it. 

The film is meant to look like it is from the 70's. It's filmed in a gritty, dark style so it feels like the 70's . Planet Terror was released  as part of a double feature with Quentin Tarantino's Death Proof under the title Grindhouse in order to replicate the experience of viewing exploitation films in a "grindhouse" theater. The film uses various techniques to make Planet Terror appear more like the films that were shown in grindhouse theaters during the 1970s. Throughout the feature and the Machete trailer, the film is made to look damaged; five of the six 25,000 frame reels were edited with real film damage, plug-ins, and stock footage.

Tarantino and Rodriguez came up with the idea of inserting a missing reel" into the film. Quentin had watched an old Italian crime movie that was actually missing a reel, Rodriguez recalls, "and he was saying, 'Oh, it's got a missing reel in it. But it's really interesting because after the missing reel, you don't know if he slept with a girl or he didn't because she says he did and he says that he didn't. It leaves you guessing, and the movie still works with 20 minutes gone out of it.' I thought, 'Oh, my God, that's what we’ve got to do. We've got to have a missing reel!' I'm going to use it in a way where it actually says 'missing reel' for 10 seconds, and then when we come back, you're arriving in the third act. The late second acts in movies are usually the most predictable and the most boring, that's where the good guy really turns out to be the bad guy, and the bad guy is really good, and the couple becomes friends. Suddenly, though, in the third act, all bets are off and it's a whole new story anyway."

Because of the bad quality and missing reel i want my screen prints to have bit missing, and look very gritty and patchy.
