Would you say the new wave of grindhouse fandom is based around people who weren there?
I would agree that the new wave of Grindhouse fans are people who were too young or weren’t born yet. Grindhouses died in the late 80’s, mostly because of home video. That, and the AIDS/Crack epidemic was the death knell for the Grindhouses. Going to the movies on “The Deuce” always had an aura of menace about it, but in the late 80’s, most sane people stayed away. Greedy realtors watched like vultures and gobbled up all the theaters and sex joints. Look what you have now, a Disneyfied tourist trap.
