'Death Proof' was the weakest part of the night with even the trailers outdoing it. I get a kick out of going to the video section and seeing a newly released 'Don't' movie. The latest one was 'Don't go in the Woods... Alone!'. Before that was 'Don't go near the Park!'.
As for the Blu-rays, I won't buy it until it is released in one set, trailers complete, scratchs and all, the way it was meant to be seen.

I must be alone. I found Death Proof (2007) to be masterful. Its understanding of 60's and 70's dialogue, 80's slasher formula: to be genius. I feel. People are so impatient. They miss its brilliance. I guess people don’t see dialogue, as more than words. When done right (like here), the pleasure is endless. Watch Rio Bravo (1959), Some Like It Hot (1959) to see my point.
Planet Terror (2007) is very good. But it's a one-trick pony. It has a great idea. But it never evolves. It never improves. By the end, you've arrived before Rodriguez has. At the station, seeing the train come.
That said I enjoy Terror, more than any other Rodriguez film. But I'm saddened so few understand the other.
