Re: Rumor: Grindhouse Coming to Bluray? (EDIT:Yup! Oct. 5th!)
 

I suppose, but this was a re-release Rodriguez was talking about before the standard DVD was even out. To me that's not so much of a double-dip and more of a staggered window between the first DVD and the second DVD. For something to qualify as a double-dip, I think it has to be a) unexpected and/or b) more than a year has to pass between the two releases.

I agree the theatrical version of the film works far better than the separate extended cuts. I disagree that Death Proof drags in the first half though of the theatrical version. That was always my favorite portion of the film. It does drag severely in the extended version however, and the second half is even worse. The theatrical version of Death Proof cuts out most of the bloat, and is actually well paced once you get used to the film itself, but the first half of the film still remains superior. Though the finale is awesome,it's a bit of a chore to get there since I really don't like the second group of characters introduced,but they're just a tad less annoying in the theatrical cut than the bloated extended version that drags on and on.

The two-disc is definitely a double dip, but doesn't getting packaged with other previously released movies really considered a double dip?

Re: Rumor: Grindhouse Coming to Bluray? (EDIT:Yup! Oct. 5th!)
 

I wish Alliance would release a From Dusk Till Dawn Triple Pack on Blu like they did with Halloween

Re: Rumor: Grindhouse Coming to Bluray? (EDIT:Yup! Oct. 5th!)
 

Yeah, I would only count the one-disc and the 2-disc as rereleases. The one with the white border is just a Wal-Mart version of the box set, and both box sets contain one or the other of the stand-alone releases.

But that's still an example of a Rodriguez title getting a basic release and then a deluxe release. This version of Grindhouse is the "deluxe" release.

Re: Rumor: Grindhouse Coming to Bluray? (EDIT:Yup! Oct. 5th!)
 

I would maintain that this is the basic release given that it does not contain the extended versions and that there will be a deluxe version sometime in the next 5 or so years. But we'll see. I'll probably end up buying this set on sale in 3-4 years for $5-$10.

Re: Rumor: Grindhouse Coming to Bluray? (EDIT:Yup! Oct. 5th!)
 

If this is the "basic" version, than the stand-alone extended cuts were the "deluxe" version. Either way, they've released it twice and I don't think you'll be seeing any others (particularly since 90% of the film's fans would either a) only like one version or the other, or b) they've already bought the releases that came out before).

Re: Rumor: Grindhouse Coming to Bluray? (EDIT:Yup! Oct. 5th!)
 

[After looking at Amazon again] I was unaware that the Extended versions had been released on BD, for some reason I thought they were only out on DVD.

Taking that into consideration I still think there will be another release down the pipe. Maybe just a little later now but before 4k.

Re: Rumor: Grindhouse Coming to Bluray? (EDIT:Yup! Oct. 5th!)
 

I am totally bumping this thread in 5 years when it comes out.

Re: Rumor: Grindhouse Coming to Bluray? (EDIT:Yup! Oct. 5th!)
 

What school of math did you go to?? 4000 is in 1,990 years!

Re: Rumor: Grindhouse Coming to Bluray? (EDIT:Yup! Oct. 5th!)
 

I guess I don't get the appeal of saying "hmmm, rather than get everything I want now, I'll wait five years for the same exact things to possibly be bundled together".

Re: Rumor: Grindhouse Coming to Bluray? (EDIT:Yup! Oct. 5th!)
 

Now I can't tell if your kidding or really don't know what 4k is.

@Adam it's all about the Benjamins. I try to maximize my collection/enjoyment there of with the moneys I got. Also after years and years of being burnt by new special editions I get a feeling for what kinds of films will double dip.

I was wrong on The Last Samurai though...

Re: Rumor: Grindhouse Coming to Bluray? (EDIT:Yup! Oct. 5th!)
 

Your instincts are in the right place, the only issue is THIS is the double dip that you should be feeling.

Re: Rumor: Grindhouse Coming to Bluray? (EDIT:Yup! Oct. 5th!)
 

again....I'm so fucking happy we jumped on that $13.99 one day fuck up deal at Amazon. $13.99? Shit yeah, motherfucker....

Re: Rumor: Grindhouse Coming to Bluray? (EDIT:Yup! Oct. 5th!)
 

^ Word, bitches.

Re: Rumor: Grindhouse Coming to Bluray? (EDIT:Yup! Oct. 5th!)

Re: Rumor: Grindhouse Coming to Bluray? (EDIT:Yup! Oct. 5th!)
 

I'm still pretty happy with my $14.98 from DD.

Re: Rumor: Grindhouse Coming to Bluray? (EDIT:Yup! Oct. 5th!)
 

$14.98? Pft...too high.

Re: Rumor: Grindhouse Coming to Bluray? (EDIT:Yup! Oct. 5th!)
 

Also, you won't get it from DD til about a month after the release :)

Re: Rumor: Grindhouse Coming to Bluray? (EDIT:Yup! Oct. 5th!)
 

yeah..thanks to you fuckers, I jumped on that fucking deal super fast. I'm still raping the wind cuz of that deal.

Re: Rumor: Grindhouse Coming to Bluray? (EDIT:Yup! Oct. 5th!)
 

Raping the wind? What on earth does that mean?

Re: Rumor: Grindhouse Coming to Bluray? (EDIT:Yup! Oct. 5th!)
 

...don't bring logic to my being, sir. Must you visit the Machete and Expendable threads again?

Re: Rumor: Grindhouse Coming to Bluray? (EDIT:Yup! Oct. 5th!)
 

Alliance is releasing Grindhouse on Blu-ray and DVD in Canada.

Re: Rumor: Grindhouse Coming to Bluray? (EDIT:Yup! Oct. 5th!)
 

probably with a different aspect ratio and no special features...
