Grindhouse DVD Boycott Basically, they are not going to release the movie whole. They are releasing 'Death Proof' and 'Planet Terror' separately and are not including the fake trailers that ran between movies.
The Weinstein Company is pissed because the movie bombed in the theater so they are going to screw over the fans. I can tell them exactly why the movie bombed, because most people don't have the time to sit through a regular length movie, let alone over 3 hours. Everyone I know was excited about this movie, and was planning on buying it the day it came out on DVD. Nobody would have minded if the DVD cost more than regular releases because of the length.
But somebody got the brilliant idea to be a petty, greedy, bastard, and fuck over the fans (it's not the double price tag that pisses me off as much as the fact that we can't even see the half hour of fake trailers which were supposed to be one of the best parts).
So in my humble opinion, the Weinstein's can go fuck themselves. I choose to boycott. |
