I can't believe that stupid, fat moron Weinstein is releasing these in separate packages and not one long double feature like the theatrical release. So utterly stupid. F!!%E%^ck you Weinstein.

I think the decision to realease them as 'Grindhouse' at the cinema sucked balls for a whole bunch of reasons.

Well it certainly hurt revenues. 3+hr length meant that the theater could fit fewer showtimes in a night, and a lot of moviegoers were turned away by the length or their confusion at the double-feature concept. BUT seeing the films, plus the fake trailers, and the whole presentation, was a theater experience that I'll never forget, and a success artistically, imo.
