    much as i hate the guy, I really hope Roth can work a miracle and convince the Weinsteins to follow-up on Grindhouse.

    both could be shot for MUCH MUCH cheaper than QT/RRs films and stand to profit on that fact alone.

    plus THANKSGIVING, the trailer, is the only thing Roth has done so far that I actually enjoyed. a feature could be flat-out awesome.

    DON’T was a joke. a one-note joke at that. but it worked incredibly well and some of the imagery in the trailer actually looks like it could make a compelling throwback to the re-invented European ODH films of the 60s and 70s.

    i’m in.
