Well, duh.

You can't release an NC-17 release is you want to make any serious money at the box office, and with the Unrated DVD so popular, there's no reason to do so.

Hell, for a lot of movies, the theatrical release is merely a 90-minute ad for the upcoming DVD.

He could have gotten away with it.

The glinting money was just too blinding for him to see.

That makes me want to skip the theater and wait for DVD. Not that I'm a big theater goer. I just would love to see the typical 'oh it's just a movie' people flip out in the theater. Running out with their crying babies. Dragging out their 8 year old kids who are traumatized for life. Hanging up their cellphones saying 'holy crap, I gotta go, this isn't a good place to hold a meeting'.

oh well. I'll pick it up on DVD with Spiderman 3 and Transformers.

That's what I do with 90% of the movies that come out. I hate going to the theatre, but I like watching movies.

I know they're trying to go for the whole 'weird you out' factor with that movie... or at least it appears that way, but I have zero interest in watching that movie with the whole shove a machine gun onto some chick's stump thing is just unappealing to me... completely. I think maybe Tarantino lost his edge when he made "Dusk Til Dawn".

And people wonder why the music industry in in shambles and record stores are almost non-existent. I miss that kind of social interaction with my media, and hate the isolation that technology has wrought.

I'm with you guys.

I was planning to see this in theaters, but having considered this, I think I'll just wait for the DVD and see it as originally conceived.

Who's "him"? The studio decides what rating the film gets. No movie gets an NC-17 if it wants to make any money at all. There are theaters that wouldn't run it.

Are they really going to have that scratched up film look in the actual movie theater, during the whole thing? Tarantino's taking his nostalgia thing too far. I don't want to get a migraine just because he wants to remember his first hand job at the drive in.

A chick with an automatic weapon for a leg...I just wonder were the spent casings eject from. On the plus side, just run through the dirt to get away from her, it will plug the muzzle and explode when she farts, rendering it useless.

Said the same thing before Kill Bill came out. Long story short, I learned that I'll pay twice to see Gordon Liu play two parts in one flick.

This one..I have no idea. I mean, it just looks so damn dumb. I mean, I understand that it's supposed to be an exploitation flick, but it just looks so...planned out. I can't explain my reservations about it, but I can't get over them enough to pay money.

I literally can't remember the last time I went to the movies; it's been so long. I usually just wait till they come out on TV.

Who are these people? Hopefully they're wearing helmets.

JohnnyC I think maybe Tarantino lost his edge when he made "Dusk Til Dawn".

Do your homework. (Unless you're calling him being the writer/producer "making" it, in which case I simply disagree).

Personally? Grindhouse may be the only film that motivates me to go to a theatre this year, and the same people who thinks Tarantino "lost it" are probably the same people who think that every band who sells a million records has "sold out".

/are you not entertained?!
//no i never saw that one

"Dusk Til Dawn" was great. It got a little silly with the vampires but overall I liked it.

You people do realize that you can see it in the theater, then watch the unrated one when it comes out a few months later, right? Why wait?

I personally love going to the theater. I saw 300 on the IMAX again yesterday for the second time, and I'm contemplating going again. I just enjoy the experience.

Thank God for Netflix.

Mugato: "Dusk Til Dawn" was great

The two-disc set has a feature-length documentary about making the movie ... I might have actually seen that more times than the movie itself. Interesting stuff.

tomasso: I was planning to see this in theaters, but having considered this, I think I'll just wait for the DVD and see it as originally conceived.

I think the writer screwed it up. All the offensive content was in the fake trailers. So the movies themselves should be as intended in theaters.

They damn well better have the trailers in this. Werewolf Women of the SS sounds like an awesome trailer. I just hope this movie doesn't Kill Bill out on me and take a good premise, only to suck in execution.

Maybe if they worked harder at making the movie going experience more fun, people wouldn't avoid it so much.

That made me laugh.
/wife and I still talk about the time we saw Starship Troopers and it looked like a daycare took a field trip to the theatre.
//at least the dad covered his 8 year old's eyes during the non-sexual shower scene.
///removed them so he could continue watching the carnage.

Is anyone here forgetting the awesome that is Hobo With a Shotgun?

I'll go see it after the crowds die down a little.

I'm quite content to reward Hollywood with my $$$ for a decent horror flick, instead of another 'Norbit'...

Yeah it's Rated R, and the Unrated version will be better.

But it's also 2 movies for the price of one.

This one is definately worth a trip to the expensive theatre.

The reasons you don't want to see it are the reaons I'm dying to see it. This is going to be the campiest cult classic since Mommie Dearest.

I am gonna be at the premier Wednesday - w00t!

You know, I'm all for the brutally weird visionary movies.....but this movie just looks DUMB. To me, it looks like Sin City on Ether and Whippets. Nothing good will come of it.

/I'll see it anyways
//Still think it looks retarded, though

Why do so many people want to go watch a movie with a girl sporting a machinegun leg. A MACHINEGUN LEG, People! I mean, come on! It's a machinegun, that sockets onto her cyber-stump and she swings it around and kills people with it.

The fun of B movies died out in the 80's/early 90's. I wait to rent B movies at a bargain price, not pay top-dollar to see them in the theater.

/sigh
