Interesting ideas… I wonder how the Hollywood media would portray this?

the uncut film just was on starz network twice last weekend here in the states so does this mean the dvd version is not far off?

Whitechapel-

Yeah, I knew it sounded like it. I just remember thinking it was strange that here was the uncut version on PPV, when the DVD at the time was censored. Oh well…

Planet Terror gets better each time I watch it. Death Proof, not so much. Although I do really like a good majority of it.

@ J Bryant

That Kill Bill version you mentioned sounds like the Japanese cut.

Even though I hated Death Proof with a passion I shelled out for the Japanese set, mostly because I love these Asian special edition and I liked Planet Terror. I’m sure these films will be released in their original form eventually in the west I’m pretty sure they won’t look so pretty as this box set.

I saw grindhouse in the theater as well. Although I liked the movies (especially one particular scene in Death Proof), I think the best part of the whole experience was the trailers. I snuck in to see the trailers on two subsequent occasions with a friend because it was great just hearing people’s reactions to them. I really think the Weinsteins should consider releasing grindhouse uncut (with trailers, etc.), even though you can see most of the trailers on youtube anyway.

well all I can say is I hope the weinsteins burn in hell, I saw this great double bill in the theater 3 times and was waiting patiently for the real version on dvd. Why don’t they get off thier fat corporate asses and give the fans what we want for once. Of course I could be asking too much everyone knows that hollywood is for money not art and sure as hell not the fans

This was a great surprise to me. I was bored titless with “Death Proof” but had heard the car chase was amazing, but didn’t exactly make it there.

Thankfully, I didn’t ahve to (directly) pay for it again and still got the car chase. Which didn’t make the movie better but Zoe Bell is a pretty spectacular stuntperson.

I’ll say it again, that Death Proof was one of the best films of 2007. A film that gets even better with each subsequent viewing. Particularly, the DVD version with the lengthy transition scene in the gas-station parkinglot.

The film is a brilliant piece of art/pop fusion.

It’s a great ‘hang-out’ film too.

Paid movie channels like HBO, Showtime, TMC, normally show the theatrical version to avoid any complaints. Pay-Per-View and DVD’s are different animals. Trabb is correct: On-Demand is the best route because they have multiple versions of films.

The Weinsteins seem to always do weird stuff with their movies when they hit PAY-PER-VIEW. I still recall recording the uncut version of SCREAM off PPV back in the 90’s (a version that still has yet to be released on DVD). Same goes for the long version of CROW: CITY OF ANGELS and PULP FICTION with deleted scenes intergrated into the movie (neither of which is on DVD either). Even a couple of years back, the PPV version of KILL BILL had the House Of Blue Leaves scene in color rather than Black and White. So, this isn’t unheard of for the Weinsteins to have alternate cable versions of their movies. Too bad they usually never get around to releasing them on DVD.
