They have already released two extended versions that were loaded with extras and now the theatrical release.

For a film that earned only 25 million at the box office I imagine this will be the last release for this film especially now that physical media is winding down in volume.

I can't think of too many films that were re-released with only an audio up-grade. Well ... a few movies like Fast Times at Ridgemont High SE was originally 2.0 Dolby and then up-graded to 5.1 on a later release with no other additional material but it's rare.

In my mind that would hardly be worth upgrading especially when the film was originally 2.0 in theaters.

They even took the time to re-release Goodfellas in a nice digibook, but couldn't be bothered to upgrade the soundtrack.

I just know how these things work. The minute I buy the individual Kill Bill's, there will be an announcement for a beautiful new transfer, the Whole Bloody Affair, with never before seen footage and Tarantino commentary and blahblahblah. In fact, I think they're waiting for me to buy the individual barebones releases before they put out the special edition Tarantino promised all those years ago.

Usually. But I've bought the movies several times now -- when they first came out; years later, because I had sold them for the rumored SE and wanted to watch them; and then on Blu-Ray, after waiting for a few months. Still nothing, but maybe they're literally waiting for you personally.

So you're the one that's holding up The Whole Bloody Affair? Stop being selfish and go buy them now so we can have them by the end of the year.

lamphorn

It may be my duty to get this thing to come out already.

oh cool. I will wait too!


hehheheee

I know a lot of you will probably disagree with me giving a Collector Series rating to a Blu-ray disc without lossless audio, but...sorry: http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/44706/grindhouse/

Was about to post it too. Good Review.

Man....I can't wait to own this bitch for $13.99

8GB free space? Wow, that's really pathetic.

Solid Snake

for those of you who don't go into the movie forum...

Sally Menke has died. She's Tarantino's editor...and a great one as well.

That's terrible, I just recently watched an interview with her. Her work was excellent.

AmityBoatTours

It was terrible last night hearing that she was missing, in this heat and then when they reported finding her no longer alive early this morning, but what was weird is that last night none the local news stations when they were talking about the rescue crews looking for her and her dog through griffith park well into the night after friends reported her missing. They never once mentioned that she was an oscar winning Film editor(really odd considering this is the movie industry captial and they usally make a pont mentioning that they are industry even if its someone like a p.a.) or when they found her body this morning around 2am, her dog was alive but sadly she wasnt.even early this morning after they reported her death they never mentioned.
It was not till just a little while ago that they started mentioning her award winning career/


Its very sad, to pass because of the heat, there were quite a few heat releated illnesses yesterday. there were quite a few times yesterday when at work, looking out on hollywood blvd and you would see paramedics attending to tourists who got heat exhaustion or worse out on the blvd.
And this heat was unbearable out here yesterday it actually got up to 117 according to the thermometer here at work in Hollywood. Keep in mind that 113 was only down town and L.A. temps vary very widely depending on what part of the county you are in And the new also said it was definately even gotten hotter in downtown they just dont know how much hotter than the 113 reported on the news cause the thermometer at the National weather service use to check the temp for downtown broke after hitting 113.

And up in griffith park in the hollywood hills where she was hiking it could have very easily topped out even hotter than 117, so sad for her family and loss to motion pictures for years to come.

Thats where seamless branching extended versions, lossless audio & max movie mode type features will go on the rerelease.

kstublen

Give it up man!

So not only will this hypothetical (read, delusional) future edition include lossless audio, but they'll also throw in maximum movie mode type special feature as well as seamless branching of the extended versions?!

You can't seriously believe we will see such a release, you just can't. This is a cult movie with a very limited potential audience. No way this warrants another Blu-ray release with even more special features. If it is ever re-released (and that's a big if) it will be the same content, no upgrades.

doctorthodt

He's trolling. He must be.

Solid Snake

He's got to be...but I don't think we'll ever know...cuz...it's the internet.

Moopher

Great review, I'm extremely excited for this!

Adam Tyner

You can't fit lossless audio, another 40 minutes (or whatever) of material, and picture-in-picture video in the space of 8 gigs.

BSTNFAN

Thanks for the great review Adam...Best I can tell, the Best Buy exclusives from the steelbooks were not on that list of extras, so I really do have to hold on to them. Oh well.

Supermallet

Great review! I just sent the link to a friend of mine as proof he needs to buy a Blu-ray player.

Dragon Lee

cool! will definitely pick this up!

asianxcore

Great review Adam!

I already own the Japanese DVD set, but I will still be picking this up.

applesandrice

Alright, alright . . . when I find it for less than $15 maybe I'll bite.

AmityBoatTours

HEHE
