Nice. There isn't any extra footage in there though is there? As far as I know it's just a cut of both films with the full colour scenes from the Japanese edition which part of it was shown in black & white in the UK/US.
Will be cool to watch it as one film it's just a shame this wasn't sorted out before they released the blue ray versions of the flms. Only have it on DVD so if when it does come its packed with bonus features I may upgrade.

There is supposedly quite a bit of previously edited out footage in this re-cut. Its not the same cut that was originally going to be released before the split.
I dont mind double dipping for this. I also flogged my 1 and 2 when I did a massive purge a year ago as I was anticipating this coming and realized I could watch the originals whenever via on demand or downloading.

The reviews reminded me about how Oasis albums were reviewed too. Yep. Too many critics get caught up in what he's influenced by. I guess he does himself no favours at times with how blatantly he'll borrow an idea/scene/theme or anything he likes from a film. Which is the attitude Oasis often had especially when they started out with things like Shakermaker & Cigs & Alcohol. Instead of changing the source material enough to pass it off as their own like most artists would would they'd always just take what they loved without giving a fuck. 'yeah, i pinched it off that Coca-cola advert' or 'I took that piece of music from another film from a Spaghetti Western' Though whilst Oasis stole from the obvious places Tarantino has taken from every type of cinema imaginable which is great because like what Oasis did for me with my love for music my real love of cinema is pretty much down to him turning me onto films I'd never heard of had it not been for him borrowing & then speaking so highly of. Kill Bill is great because it feels like a greatest hits package of everything Tarantino loves from Asian cinema to Western's & so on just like Definitely Maybe felt like the gelling together of every great British band from the Beatles to the Sex Pistols to the Stone Roses. Also, like Oasis he'll always have people with snobbish attitudes against his work because he wasn't as original as say a Terrence Malick or Stanley Kubrick but just like Oasis, come saturday night when you want to be entertained & thrilled you are going to go for definitely maybe the same way you are going to go for a Bill Bill or Pulp Fiction. Tarantino should of used Bring It On Down right here Like I say, if they have better bonus features than the original DVD's I've got I'll definitely be picking this release up. It's the sort of film that deserves to be seen on Blue-ray I guess.

For a few years now I've been dreaming of Tarantino doing a Spaghetti Western & now it seems my wish may of come true
At the Oscar parties on February 27, film director Quentin Tarantino spoke about his plans to shoot a Western as his next project, according to Hollywood blog Deadline. For the upcoming film, the director will team up again with Christoph Waltz from Inglourious Basterds.
Tarantino has spoken in interviews about his interest in making a spaghetti Western called A Southern, set in the time period of American slavery. "I want to explore something that really hasn't been done," Tarantino is quoted as saying in /Film. "I'm the guy to do it."
The director of Kill Bill and Pulp Fiction was interviewed last year on television about making a biopic on revolutionary abolitionist John Brown. "He's my favorite American who ever lived," he said, explaining that he spilled blood in an effort to end slavery.
Tarantino's signature action style and themes will apparently be in sync with this as-yet-untitled story. He has completed the screenplay and expects to go into production within a few months.
Waltz (The Green Hornet) will be seen next in the drama Water for Elephants costarring Reese Witherspoon (Monsters vs. Aliens) and Robert Pattinson (Twilight films), opening on April 22.
The Oscar winner will also play Cardinal Richelieu in The Three Musketeers with Orlando Bloom (Pirates of the Caribbean) and Milla Jovovich (Resident Evil films) releasing in October. Waltz also stars in Carnage with Kate Winslet (Revolutionary Road) and Jodie Foster (Contact), directed by Roman Polanski and due to hit theaters in 2012.

I actually saw a much better article about it a few days ago but can't find it now. It seemed a bit more bulletproof that it was actually going to happen with Waltz talking about how he'd accepted the part.
Despite it's serious content I doubt Tarantino will go for the classic modern feel like the Coen's have for True Grit. My money would be on it being insane & action packed like The Good, The Bad & The Weird but who knows, early days yet but I am excited.

He has tackled the gangster flick, the second world war romp, the blaxploitation era and even the martial arts movie, but Quentin Tarantino has not yet achieved his goal of bringing a western to the big screen. That could all be about to change after several US websites identified the genre as the basis for the film-maker's next movie.
Deadline reports that Tarantino has completed the screenplay for his western project and plans to deliver it to long-term backers the Weinstein Company within two months. Meanwhile several sites have been reporting claims by the Italian actor and former spaghetti western star Franco Nero, who says he has been signed up for a Tarantino western that will also star Keith Carradine and Treat Williams. A further report on Aintitcool.com suggests that Christoph Waltz, winner of last year's best supporting actor Oscar for his monstrous turn as SS colonel Hans Landa in Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds, will also take a leading role.
Italian site Movieplayer reports comments from Nero, star of Django, in which the 69-year-old Italian actor suggests the movie will be a Sergio Leone tribute titled The Angel, the Bad and the Wise.
"It's a movie that contains humour, lots of action, but also a great plot," said Nero (translated by the Playlist). "We have already been signed by a dozen people who will be part of project. Among the film-makers involved include Quentin Tarantino, Keith Carradine, Treat Williams, 15 people (all Americans) who want to do this movie and so we are trying to produce it outside of Italy."
In a 2007 interview with the Daily Telegraph, Tarantino discussed an idea for a spaghetti western set in America's Deep South that he called "a southern". He said he wanted "to do movies that deal with America's horrible past, with slavery and stuff, but do them like spaghetti westerns, not like big issue movies. I want to do them like they're genre films, but they deal with everything that America has never dealt with because it's ashamed of it, and other countries don't really deal with because they don't feel they have the right to."
Aintitcool.com's report denies that the film will be called The Angel, the Bad and the Wise, but it will be Tarantino's next project.

Not that I know of. The same rumours appear every 6 months stemming from Q.T being asked the same questions in every interview & him saying maybe he'll revisit it. There is definitely no concrete plans. In other news I saw Pulp Fiction at the Prince Charles saturday afternoon which was the bollocks though when uma thurman snorts the heroin the film switched off & it took them 10 minutes to get it back on. When it came back on they had no sound for about 30 seconds, when Travolta skids round the corner with her O.D'd in the back someone at the back of the cinema did a car skid noise as the car went round the corner ... maybe you had to be there, was funny tho!!
