Hey, GrindhouseFan, your comment was the dumbest shit I’ve ever read in my life. I saw Grindhouse in the theater, and it was a wonderful theatrical experience. It was nothing but pure entertainment, and I hate it for anyone who didn’t have the pleasure to witness it on the big screen.

I have also seen both of the dvd versions. Planet Terror was pretty much just as good as I remembered. Death Proof, a okay but not great movie, sucked ass on dvd. The extended version showed the whole world why that extra 30 minutes or so needed to be cut out. It added nothing to the story, and quite frankly, it bored the shit out of me. They also edited out the part where the frames were missing and where the theater apologizes for the inconvenience. That actually made the movie better. At least Planet Terror kept that part in.

We , the fans, are really robbed by the producers not including the funny fake trailers. The phony trailer for Machete is included in Planet Terror, but the trailers in between the two movies aren’t included in any of the dvds.

Personally, I won’t buy any of it until they produce a Grindhouse complete edition, with the theatrical release of the two movies plus the funny phony trailers. Any other so-called Grindhouse release is a bunch of horseshit that nobody in their right mind should ever purchase. I hope they lose a shitload of money by splitting the two movies, adding unnecessary bullshit, and depriving us of the trailers.

Before anyone says anything, I want to apologize for the “retard” remark. That was going over the edge. I would have used a different word, but this shit frustrates me.

This is NOT a marketing ploy, you fucking retard. Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez never intended PLANET TERROR and DEATH PROOF to be released as ANYTHING OTHER THAN TWO FILMS on DVD. They only intended the films to be seen as a double feature theatrically. Why do you want to give out stupid advice like “ignore the DVDs”? The DVDs will be BETTER than what was presented theatrically. Not only will you be getting the shortened theatrical versions of each film, you will get the FULL VERSIONS that they had to edit down in order to fit into a double feature. I’ve got news for you, buddy. They’re never releasing the double feature on DVD. You snooze, you lose. I’m sorry that you missed out on the greatest theatrical experience of the 20th Century, but why are you complaining that they are not releasing TWO INDIVIDUAL FILMS as A SINGLE FILM? Just buy the fucking DVDs and SHUT THE FUCK UP.

Watching it at the theatre with the FN hilarious previews for other movies before one flick and during intermission before the next was part of the film as a whole. They really stuck a weenie to the fans of their work and this film by splitting the movies. Two explosive hits on one big screen means shit as of last Tuesday. The flow is gone. I hate hollywood!!!!

IN MY BOOK THAT’S NO GOOD. Well, I actually have… a book. And everybody I ever met goes in this book. And now I’ve met you Quentin and Robert, and… YOU’RE GOING IN THE BOOK TOO. Unfortunately, now I’m gonna have to file you both under chicken… shit.

Nah, I’m just playin, I’m still buyin’ them BOTH, and will buy the collector’s edition and will buy every DVD that comes out with grindhouse on it; if that means a whole dvd devoted to the trailers, then i’ll still make a great purchase.

I heard Planet Terror will be released October 16th. That’s 1 month after Death Proof!! I also heard they’re taking out all the faux trailers (except Machete). Those were the best parts or both segments.

R U SERIOUS?!?! SEPREATELY! Quentin…Man surely you are going to let this get by! I would like to meet the jackass businessman who even mentioned this idea. I would rather them not release the movies at all, than to release them seperately. If you are going to release a dvd damnit do it right..or dont do it all. Hopefully there will be a special collectors edition with both movies and the commercial (the way it was presented to us in the theaters) avalible to us. (grrrr i cant believe this!)
