Yep, I saw Grindhouse 3 times including once at the Chinese Theater with QT and company in attendance. It was great.

Re: "Grindhouse" reviews thread.

and also to add since this thread is here ... not more than 5 minutes ago I just ordered Death Proof bd (and Shutter Island) from Amazon ... figured 11.14 was low enough that I was going to stop waiting till it dropped any further

I saw it twice theatrically, and dragged another person to see it each time.

A lot of fun.

Was a theatrical cut ever released?

Yep. Right here:

http://www.amazon.com/Grindhouse-Two...trical+Blu-ray


Of course there was a big uproar at the time due to it being released on Blu-ray with a standard Dolby Digital 5.1 640 kbps standard track.

The individual releases were all released with lossless tracks.

I hated Death Proof. As Snake said, "bitches talk a lot"...bores me in real life, bored me to pieces here.

Five years (or whatever) later and I still love Planet Terror and like Death Proof.

Glad you mention this....I watched it over a friends house with a total of (six of us) on his 92" screen....it was a f'n blast and the best part? There was only one friend in the room who wasn't really into horror and his reactions were priceless "OHHHHH!!", "FOR THE LOVE OF!!", and everyone in the room loved this one the most "I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M LOVING THIS SHIT!!!".

It was awesome.

I will admit that I can see how home video takes out the grandeur of the premise. I've never had so much fun watching a movie. It was like getting a present for going to the movies.

I saw Grindhouse three times. It was a badge of honor for a while since the whole thing wasn't released on DVD/Blu-ray right away. Death Proof proves I can watch Tarantino film anyone talking(even bitches) and I'd find the shit riveting. The whole thing works for me.

It's kind of disappointing that the "Grindhouse" Blu-ray only has the shorter theatrical cuts of both movies. It would've been great to have had an option to select the extended cuts and then watch those with all the trailers together.

Oh fuck that. That'd be too much. And I love the extended cut of DP. PT only had what? That little bit w/ Cherry taking out that piece of metal out of her thigh?

Actually, I don't really care about the extended cut of Planet Terror, it's just that I'd like to be able to watch Grindhouse with the extended cut of Death Proof in it, because that cut is so much better than the theatrical cut.

I still haven't seen the Extended cuts. Planet Terror was forgettable, Death Proof was fantastic.

This website called Movie-Censorship.com breaks down the differences between the extended cuts and the theatrical cuts (aka "Grindhouse" versions).
