Tarantino XX Blu-ray set brings 20 years of Quentin, eight movies and ten discs home November 20th
If you dig Quentin Tarantino flicks, an eight movie, 10-disc Blu-ray boxed set is on the way that will probably pique your interest. Lionsgate and Miramax are collaborating on the Tarantino XX set, which captures 20 years of the filmmaker's career and includes Reservoir Dogs, True Romance, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, Kill Bill Vol. 1, Kill Bill Vol. 2, Death Proof and Inglourious Basterds. Additionally, there's special collectible packaging and artwork (shown after the break, along with the press release and full list of specs) and the two extra discs are filled with five hours of all new bonus interviews, retrospectives and the like. It seems unlikely to answer the mystery of what was in Marcellus Wallace's briefcase, but it will be available November 20th with an MSRP of $119.99, although Amazon is currently listing it at $83.97.
Miramax arrives on Lovefilm to let you relive the golden age of Weinsteins
Miramax has reached a deal with Lovefilm to get its back-catalog of award-winning films available on-demand in the UK and Germany. It's an unsurprising move given the company has similar deals in place with Netflix and Hulu to let you watch classics like Pulp Fiction, Clerks and Trainspotting whenever the urge takes you. While there was no official confirmation of a launch window, a cursory check of our own account reveals that some of the titles (including Kill Bill) are already popping up on the instant service.
Kill Bill Volumes 1 and 2 headed to Blu-ray on September 9th
Better start saving those pennies folks, because September is apt to drain your wallet dry. Not only do we have Transformers launching in Blu-ray format on September 2nd, but we now know that both volumes of Kill Bill will be arriving in Blu cases a week later. According to an insider with access to Disney's retailer website, both flicks will be available on September 9th, and Amazon already has place-holders up for the both of 'em. Can anyone say "must buy?"[Via Audio/Video Revolution]
Gank Frank: A raging rumble of retribution
Sweet three-toed sloth of Azeroth! We have a new contender for Best Fan-Produced Warcraft Feature of all time -- Fenrix of Bloodhoof's epic graphic novel Gank Frank. This story is loosely based on Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill saga, except that it features a gnome rogue who was left for dead by the mysterious Frank and a group of notorious Warcraft villains. Now he's out to kill off everyone on his list, recover his missing Mr. Wiggles, and look cool in a yellow jumpsuit. There are currently three chapters up, which corresponds roughly to the whole first volume of Kill Bill. You can see 11 (elite), Blood-Covered Gnome, and Showdown at the Pig and Whistle Tavern on the forums of the guild Funkytown. It's taken Fenrix nearly a year to finish up the first half of the saga, so you might not want to hold your breath waiting for the second part. I'm not exactly sure how they make things like this and Flintlocke -- a combination of screenshots, model viewers, and a lot of editing time? What do you think about Gank Frank?
