Grindhouse Bunnies

Posted by Dominic von Riedemann Feb 25, 2008

Pity poor Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino.

After 16 profitable years of repackaging B-movie trash as auteur irony, a fickle audience suddenly ignored their latest homage to cars, guns and gorgeous dames with inexplicable interest in Tarantino's film collection called Grindhouse. The two-movies-within-a-movie sucked wind at the box office and left The Weinstein Company with a big, fat bill that's not about to be paid anytime soon.

But our boys aren't down for the count, yet. Robert Rodriguez has at least two Sin City sequels to unleash on adoring audiences, that don't care about the fact that Jessica Alba plays a stripper who never ever takes off her clothes. And the QT has Inglorious Bastards on his plate, as well as a zillion other projects that he would love to take on as soon . . . ooh, look! Shiny!

Not only that, Jennifer Shiman's Thirty Seconds Bunnies Theatre has now immortalized Rodriguez and Tarantino's failed experiment in B-movie ripoff – I mean, homage.

To properly give this flick the respect it's due, Shiman doubled the running time so that each film would get 30 seconds each. That allowed the bunnies to show every gunshot, kick, exotic dance and tire tread to the head in loving detail. Pure bliss.

Look for bunnies versions of Spielberg's dinosaurs-run-amuck movie Jurassic Park, followed by 1980's teen comedy Sixteen Candles, last year's teen comedy SuperBad, classic mob flick Goodfellas, and vampires-run-amuck movie 30 Days of Night.
