I just heard the horrible news. The DVD release for the recent Tarantino/Rodriguez collaboration, Grindhouse, was just announced... in two parts.
Starting in September, each movie will release separately as its own 2-disc Special Edition. The whole point of the movie was to produce the 2-movies-for-the-price-of-1 grindhouse experience, now with the DVD the entire concept has been thrown out the window!
But Mr. Movie Slut, what if I didn't like one of the movies and I'm glad I can buy them separately?
Well, you have bigger problems because BOTH movies were brilliant and you'd be an idiot to dislike either of them! *Joking, of course. Well, mostly anyway.* If you really want to buy them separately, then I suppose it's your lucky day. Each movie comes with an extended/unrated version of the film and a bunch of special features. Yippie for you!
Oh wait, there is one little problem though. NEITHER film comes with any of the faux trailers that made Grindhouse such a badass theater experience. That's right fans... NO FAKE TRAILERS!
Is that shitty? Of course it is! The trailers were awesome, the commercials were awesome, and you don't get any of it because the fucking marketers are making the REAL movie fans wait till November for the super-fucking-mega-special-wallet-raping-box-set that will include BOTH movies and ALL the awesomely fake trailers you loved at the theater.
In other words kids... you'll have to wait another two months to get the same experience you had at the theaters. It'll probably cost more than both of these versions combined as well. Cocks.
Bastards. The fucking idiots still wonder why so many people resort to Internet piracy to 'steal' from Hollywood. More like 'claiming what they're owed' I think.
When I first heard about Grindhouse, I thought, "Oh. What a cool thing to do! Rodriguez and Tarantino are coupling two movies for the price of one. A throwback to the old days and they aren't even trying to split the films and make us pay twice. What awesome guys!" Way to drop the ball when it came to the DVD guys...
Extra super special props go to 300 now. The DVD came out last week and some of you may have noticed that the 2-Disc Special Edition came out on the same day as the not-very-special edition. Customers actually got to make an informed decision regarding their purchase, "Do I want to pay the extra or not?," and they could buy either one on the same day!
Take note Rodriguez and Tarantino: I'll save my money till November, I'll buy your super-mega-version and I'll love the holy shit out of all that fake trailer goodness, but that's strike one bitches! Watch your step...

LMAO!! sorry, this isn't meant to be a real comment but I just saw the sidebar....
hi Tara...
ROFLMAO.
Positively cosmic.
I'm a little confused. What's so funny about the sidebar?
What an engaging and beautifully written public threat! ;)
P.S.... I don't know what's funny about the sidebar either.
This is quite possibly the most curse filled rant I've seen in a while. Good job, and good point(s).
