Indeed. I'm glad I held off buying the DVDs in case they released a special edition. What's all this about Miramax being their own company now? Sounds like a good thing to me.

What doesn't make sense is all the hubub about Quentin being a genius for cutting it into two films; it being really his idea all along and his plan from early on even before it was suggested; it being suggested by Weinstein (as in Miramax head, not exactly a Disney exec. making the suggestion)-- When now that they will be without disney, releasing the movie as one is them doing 'whatever the fuck they want'. But perhaps some Taritino holic can clairify?

I'm not a Tarantino expert or anything, and I don't know about anyone else, but I had never gotten the impression that Tarantino had planned for them to be two movies the whole time... Every time I had heard info on the movie, I kept hearing "oh, he WANTED to make it one long movie, but the studio made him cut it into two pieces blah blah blah." The reason I had heard was that the studio thought no one would sit through a four hour movie, even though people did it for Titanic and the Lord of the Rings movies (yeah, I know it wasn't four hours, but they were very long movies). I had the feeling there would be some "stitched together" version coming out at some point, and it looks like they are finally doing that. I'm glad they finally did it, personally.

Weinstein's contract is going to end and for some reason Disney is letting him take 'loyal' people with him to a separate company.

i don't know the specifics, but some top dog in Disney (the CEO? someone high up) is stepping down. he said the magic with him "disappeared" (or something) and Disney would do better with a new "president" (or whatever he was). it might have had something to do with that

Eisner said the magic within him died? Or did he say that Disney's magic dies because he's leaving?

So really what's the difference between a metrosexual and a homosexual?

Also, Bambi doesn't creates furries, it creates heartless bastards who laugh everytime they hear "mom? where are you?". Which means, people perfectly sane and apt to live in a 21th century society.

I think the original release of the movie was nearly 3 movies, then they cut a big part of the scenario to make it only 2... I remember Gogo Yubari had a twin sister who wanted to avenge the original, or something. That would have been awesome.

Gogo was supposed to have no line and die way before she did. Her sister was the one that should have said all the lines Gogo says in the movie.

Then again, was Battle Royale itself that convincing? Weren't the kids supposed to be 14 or so? I don't know about Japanese teenagers, but American teenagers are far more awkward looking at that age than the kids in Battle Royale were.

Actually if I'm not mistaken, Gogo's sister Yuki would not be her twin, she would be 16 years-old, while Gogo was 17.
Gogo wouldn't have most of her lines (although she'd still have her great battle against the Bride), and Yuki would try to avenge her in another chapter, travelling to the same town where the Bride goes to kill Vernita. Yuki would be more childish and psychotic, while Gogo would be extremely quiet and serious.
