Pulp Fiction DVD

[Guest perrinthewolf]

Why the hell hasn't this movie(or any of Tarintino's movies for that matter) gotten a better release then a bare bones disk? The "Special Edition" VHS has more going for it then the DVD.

Just had to get that off my chest.

I feel the exact same way.  The worst part is that the Special Edition VHS has the same bonus stuff as the DVD I think.  Hopefully they will do something big in 2004 for the 10 year anniversary.

We've checked in with our sources and learned some interesting things. First of all, word is that (if all goes well) Miramax will be releasing collector's editions of Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown and Krzysztof Kieslowski's Blue, White and Red before the year is out.

 

There you are.  Actually, I heard the Canadian edition of Pulp Fiction is supposed to be superior to the Yankee one, although I havent checked it out.

The special edition VHS had more bonuses than the American DVD and they've waited so long to release Jackie Brown that I would almost be happy with no bonuses...almost.

On the Dusk til Dawn dvd, Tarrentino (doing commentary with Rodriguez) says that the reason he hasnt done any commentaries on his films is that by the time he is done all the post production and promo work for a film he is sick of talking about it. I love Quentin's work, but I think he has sort of abandoned his fans.  Jackie Brown came out in what, 1997??

[Guest MDH257]

He was all set to make another movie, but Uma Thurman got pregnant and he decided to wait a year for her to be ready.

[Guest converge241]

yeah Kill Bill got delayed w/Uma.

there's always the possibility of The Vega Boys with madsen and travolta.

All his fans are twisting in the wind while he's busy "acting" in Little Nicky and getting dumped by Mira Sorvino! WTF?

Y'know as much as everybody clamors for collector's editions and the like, all I really watch on those things are the deleted scenes.  Frankly, I buy a DVD to see the movie.  The rest of the crap is kinda extraneous to me.

Well, I agree that people should buy the dvd for the movie, but I don't even think Pulp Fiction is anamorphic widescreen.  On top of that I've heard the transfer isn't too hot, which is just unacceptable on newer movies.  Based on these alone a new version should be released with a solid anamorphic transfer.

[Guest Tomato Can]

I have the Pulp Fiction DVD, and I don't see anything wrong with it's VQ.  Me just likee watchee movie.

 

P.S. I have no idea what the hell an anamorphic transfer is.

[Guest MDH257]

I don't think they need to throw everything and the kitchen sink into a Pulp Fiction special edition. But I would at least like the bonuses from the Laserdisc included.

According to the Internet Movie Database that would be the 4 deleted scenes, theatrical trailer, and a 90 min. interview with Tarantino.

Sorry to change the subject, but anamorphic widescreen means that the picture will "morph" to fit widescreen television sets (these links offer good explainations, unlike mine: http://gregl.net/videophile/anamorphic.htm and http://www.thedigitalbits.com/editorial/bz100298.html).  I don't own a widescreen tv at the moment but I feel a lot better buying dvds that will still look great on the tv I'll probably be purchasing next.  I have to agree with you about just wanting to watch the movie, especially with some of the fluff that passes for extras these days.
