Maybe we are supposed to want them to die so that we sympathize with him.</p> Something else that occured to me is that it might be implied that Stuntman Mike is watching them during all the long boring dialogue scenes… Maybe we are supposed to want them to die so that we sympathize with him.

I agree with your comment about the uninteresting dialogue in Deathproof, but I was surprised with where it ended up going and liked it overall. I think maybe the frustrating dialogue was there to build up tension in the audience, which was then released by the rediculous car chase scenes, to parallel the conflict inside Stuntman Mike's head.</p> I also saw Grindhouse last night… I agree with your comment about the uninteresting dialogue in Deathproof, but I was surprised with where it ended up going and liked it overall.
