City of Films

As you probably know and or picked up in one of my many rage posts, when Grindhouse was released in theaters, it was a double feature featuring Robert Rodriguez’s Planet Terror, Quentin Tarantino’s Death Proof, and a few faux trailers at the beginning and in between. It was the best time you could have at the movies. Not enough people saw it for some reason and thus it became a flop [see here].  When the films were released on DVD, they were distributed as separate movies, with the trailers omitted from both releases. That’s what no one wanted you see, and so they went ahead with it anyways. Sense no that makes.

Grindhouse (for real this time) will hit stores on October 5th 2010.  My birthday is October 9th, just saying.  Veivendi Home Entertainment has the following specs: (more…)

In 2007 we were treated to a bunch of great films; we had No Country for Old Men, Zodiac and There Will Be Blood. Most people may forget Grindhouse came out that year too, adored by critics and people who actually watched it (knowing there were 2 films for the price of one) it still stands of one of my favourite times at the movies.  Sadly as most QT DVD releases go, they ballsed it up.

When Grindhouse was released in theaters, it was a double feature featuring Robert Rodriguez’s Planet Terror, Quentin Tarantino ’s Death Proof and faux trailers all around. When the films were released on DVD, they were made as separate movies, with the trailers missing (except Machete).  It looks like we could be getting a complete release.  Edgar Wright, who directed one of the faux trailers for a film titled “Don’t” tweeted today:  So, get this, tomorrow I am doing a commentary on Don’t. Some of you will know what that means is finally happening.

Could it be happening when Machete hits?  We will see. (more…)
