Idea & Info: Grindhouse (possible fan-edit?)
Time
I was planning on a couple of ideas. I'm assuming somebody will try to recreate Grindhouse as it was shown but just with the extended versions. I have two ideas

1: Recreate Grindhouse with real trailers that would of been shown in grindhouses or drive-ins (where i'm from) and team Death Proof with a more similar movie - maybe a Russ Meyer film.

2: The one I would most likely do. double feature tribute to QT. The trailers would be to some of his favorite films and the after death proof I would show "The unofficial QT cut of True Romance" that I made about 2 years ago* but never got around to releasing it in many places. The only change I would do is add the grindhouse effects (maybe the film burning, missing reel, the dirt/noise on the film and probably the burn marks with the loud pop) to the True Romance part.

What do you all think?

* I was here about a year ago and was going to post it but lost the url and just came across it again.

Info: True Romance - Tarantino re-edit
Time
Wow, this site is great - I just found it.

I'm a big fan of True Romance and I actually did make this DVD about a year ago (i'm probably the person Wiki was talking about) by placing many of the deleted scenes back including the alt ending with the new song during the ending credits, chapter titles, and I even took out the closeup shots of Arquette watching A Better Tomorrow and placed shots from Master of the Flying Guillotine.

Ronen was right about not having transitional shots made so it was tough to edit a few scenes. One example is when Slater is done arguing with Hopper about helping him the next filmed shot is Hopper coming out of his house with news/help that Slater asked for. I cut out one shot and used the train going by in the foreground as an attempt at showing time has passed by but it doesn't work well. One nice edit I was able to make (although not from the script) is when Slater comes back with Arquette's "clothes" she opens in and says "this isn't my clothes" and the next scene in the script is when they show Rappaport the drugs. I showed Arquette about to open the bag and then showed the closeup shot of Rappaport opening it with the audio from the previous scene and then you see Rappaport saying this can't be real; yes it takes out the surprise of one of the two actors but I thought it was a nice transition.

I would love to see what somebody who hasn't seen the original version of TR would think of this cut. Tarantiono's reasoning for the out of order scenes doesn't work well with an audience that knows who is who and so on.

I don't know the rules about posting links and downloading here but if anybody wants a copy just tell me. Here's the cover I made. It's a recreation of a SGT Fury comic book that he talks about in the movie.
