Spoiler? They show vampires in the trailers, don't they? How can you spoil a prominently advertised aspect of the film?

It's like Terminator 2. Rewatching it a few years ago, I noticed that the ignorant audience would have had no idea that Arnold was the good guy until the "Get Down!" in the mall. It still worked though, because I was following the characters. |

Well I don't know that I've ever seen the trailer for it, but I knew it was about vampires, that's not what was spoiled. It was:

Yeah, that was bothersome. That was on the old cover, too.

This is true. It was never promoted by the studio or filmmakers that the vampires were a secret, and watching the film, if one relates to the characters then the vampires are still a fun surprise, since we see their surprise. Would it have been interesting to have no knowledge of that going in? Of course, to me, but there's far more people who would have felt let down by a crime flick completely changing tone and direction from what they thought they had purchased.

not sure if you've ever gone to Mexico..but...shit going crazy in a bar...happens all the time. Whether drunken rage or Mexican mystical/spiritural shit or just starting shit for the sake of starting shit (we're genetically bound to be shit starters) or vampires going nuts...its' all true.

Re: Rumor: Grindhouse Coming to Bluray? (EDIT:Yup! Oct. 5th!)
You guys aren't going to like this (NO LOSSLESS AUDIO ON GRINDHOUSE):
the eagerly-awaited Grindhouse: 2-Disc Collector's Edition - featuring the full "Grindhouse experience" directed by Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino - is due out on Blu-ray on October 5. Technical specifications hadn't been officially listed, but a member of the Blu-ray.com forum has has already got a copy and informed that it only contains a lossy Dolby Digital 5.1 track, at a bitrate of 448 kbps. |
Re: Rumor: Grindhouse Coming to Bluray? (EDIT:Yup! Oct. 5th!)
Shut the fuck up.
That...can't be right. |
Re: Rumor: Grindhouse Coming to Bluray? (EDIT:Yup! Oct. 5th!)
That would REALLY suck. Hopefully we get more info though not sure if I would still cancel my Amazon order since I still got it at a good price...
|
Re: Rumor: Grindhouse Coming to Bluray? (EDIT:Yup! Oct. 5th!)
Man I was excited about this, too! I think this just went from a must-buy for most of us here to a pass. Lossy audio is unacceptable at this point. All the extras should have been on disc 2.

I know, they found a way to fuck it up somehow. Here's the shots of the back cover, from Bluray.com:http://www.blu-ray.com/images/news/news_5204_1.jpg

Re: Rumor: Grindhouse Coming to Bluray? (EDIT:Yup! Oct. 5th!)
It can't be because of disc space issues, can it? I know that a couple other of Vivendi's/Dimension recent catalog releases also were standard DD 5.1 tracks.
|
Re: Rumor: Grindhouse Coming to Bluray? (EDIT:Yup! Oct. 5th!)
Is this being distributed by Sony as per their recent deal with The Weinstein Company? Or is it Vivendi?
|
Re: Rumor: Grindhouse Coming to Bluray? (EDIT:Yup! Oct. 5th!)
It's a Grindhouse flick, i'm just glad it wasn't released in mono only.
|
Re: Rumor: Grindhouse Coming to Bluray? (EDIT:Yup! Oct. 5th!)
Very disappointing, but not enough to get me to cancel out my order.
|
Re: Rumor: Grindhouse Coming to Bluray? (EDIT:Yup! Oct. 5th!)
No biggie to me. It's a grindhouse movie. Scratched-up film, crappy audio and missing frames.
|
Re: Rumor: Grindhouse Coming to Bluray? (EDIT:Yup! Oct. 5th!)
If it doesn't matter that it looks and sounds like crap, why not a special edition VHS release?
This blows. |
Re: Rumor: Grindhouse Coming to Bluray? (EDIT:Yup! Oct. 5th!)
What a load of BS. They probably put it on a BD-25 disc or some such thing. So, in other words, perhaps we can anticipate poor video quality compared to the other releases of the films as well? I am very disappointed. Even though I have the individual release Blu-ray's I was planning on buying this but now I'm not so sure -- especially since they would probably just try to get us to buy it twice (once now and another time YEARS from now with the lossless audio!) They will wait long enough to see how many people they can sucker into buying this edition first.

It is a bummer, but not enough to kill my enthusiasm. I can't hear lossless audio yet, anyway, my receiver isn't capable.
