Grindhouse DVDs Announced

So, it looks like Planet Terror and Death Proof will be released separately on 2-disc DVD sets, with Tarantino's film getting the earlier release date (Sept. 18) and Rodriguez' released on Oct. 16. In my humble opinion, this is a bad idea, seeing as how I loved Grindhouse as a whole entity, but I just can't see myself spending $60 to relive that experience (each 2-disc set will cost $29.95), regardless of how much extra stuff they add. They've even replaced the "missing reels" in both films, which seems to be missing the point. It would make more sense if they were included as deleted scenes. Also, which release is getting the brilliant fake trailers by Rob Zombie, Edgar Wright, and Eli Roth (not to mention the one Rodriguez did himself)? All I can hope is that Bob and Harvey Weinstein will realize that people liked both films together and release the original, three-hour theatrical version (scratches and pops intact).

Oh, and in other news, it looks like J.J. Abrams' crazy-secret monster movie is to be called Overnight.
