Check out this awesome Quentin Tarantino custom action figure. They are made by Kyle Robinson Customs and from the looks of his tutorials he takes existing action figures and transforms them into his customs. I particularly liked his giving a Wolverine action figure real sharpened steel claws.

Even though GRINDHOUSE was eventually broken into 2 separate films, there is going to be a 6-disc DVD release of the whole double feature with special features ... in Japan. [thanks Taylor]

Still no fake trailers from the description that SlashFilm has. This makes the lack of any type of combined DVD release in the US even more disappointing.

The wait is over for Inglorious Bastards, its gone straight to DVD! Just kidding.

This is the DVD to the film that provides some inspiration for the upcoming Tarantino film. This is obviously where the title comes from, but the actual story line is not the same. [via TwitchFilm]

Some bad news (maybe) about the DVDs for Death Proof and Planet Terror. According to The Movie Blog, neither will contain any of the fake trailers that aired with GRINDHOUSE in theaters.

The Death Proof DVD is listed with a Sept 18th, 2007 release date on Amazon right now. No pre-order option yet though. This is going to be a 2-disc set containing both the 90 minute Grindhouse cut and the 127 minute Cannes cut.

This is apparently when the Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair 4-disc set is also going to be released.

Thanks to Mike for the heads up on the info.

UPDATE: Amazon now has Kill Bill - The Whole Bloody Affair listed, but with no release date.

Everyone's favorite Tarantino-themed band, the Tarantinotes are going to be playing at the Bad Taste Bears Tarantino Event on March 31st.

The event is to celebrate the launch of Killed Bill. There are only 4,000 of the yellow being created, and only 700 of the pictured limited edition black version. There is also going to be a great looking Tarantino sketch book available that I'd love to get my hands on.

Check out the event website for all the details.

Entertainment Earth has the GRINDHOUSE action figures for pre-order. Its a bit early as they won't be released until April, but if the demand is anything like it was for Kill Bill figures, you'll have a hard time finding them in stock after the movie opens.

David DVD is reporting that LionsGate is going to release a 15th anniversary edition of Reservoir Dogs on DVD. Considering we already have a 10th anniversary edition, I'm not sure whey they would do this other than if they think that the upcoming Reservoir Dogs video game is going to be introducing the film to a whole new audience and they want a new DVD ready for them.

The Reservoir Dogs game now has an official site. For now, there's only a UK version and it includes just a short description and 3 screenshots. But I'm sure there will be more to come as the August 2006 release date approaches.

Looks like it might be a while for those of us waiting for the big Kill Bill special edition DVD because QT is going to re-release the film in 1 piece in late 2006 first. Once thats done, then he'll get to the process of putting the special edition DVD together.

He says, "I want to cut the whole movie together like one big epic with an intermission in the middle like a 60s film. It'll be coming out in theatres.

"I've been holding off because I've been working on it for so long that I just wanted a year off from Kill Bill and then I'll do the big supplementary DVD package."

So for about another year, you'll just have to put up with the separate Volume 1 and Volume 2 DVDs.

Looks like Tarantino and Rodriguez are going to release a companion book to go along with the Grind House movie. Tarantino had planned to do something similar with Kill Bill, and the project ended up being scrapped for unknown reasons - hopefully this one makes it to market.

Here are some details from the Trouble Maker Publishing website. The image below is apparently the proposed book cover. [thanks to Jules for the tip]

The Quentin Tarantino directed 2005 season finale of CSI, Grave Danger, is going to be released on its very own DVD on October 10th.

In addition to the double-episode, the DVD will feature approximately 84 mins of extras including: Pilot episode of CSI and the pilot episode of CSI Miami 'Golden Parachute'.

I'm impressed that this episode has been so well received that it merits its own separate DVD release. I knew QT would do a good job with the show, but its success has long since passed my expectations for how it would be received.

Guide Dogs For the Blind is having a charity auction of a gold Kill Bill DVD and a signed Uma Thurman photo. The money goes to train guide dogs for blind folks in the UK, so its a good cause if you are interested.

And no, the irony that The Bride snatched Elle's only eye from her head (thereby blinding her) is not lost on me.

Came back from a trip to Houston to see that I'd received a copy of DK Holm's Kill Bill Casebook. Getting free stuff is always fun.

My first impression after thumbing thru the book is that it is incredibly detailed in its analysis of each and every scene from the Kill Bill films. When I had mentioned the book previously, I didn't really know what to make of it - thought it may be something like the American Psycho: A Reader's Guide that I had read a few years ago.

Its partly that - an explantion of whats going on with the plot - but its moreso just a vast wealth of detailed info about the minutiae of the film. For those of us that are big fans - just what we are looking for.

I'll try and get a full on review of the book up over the next couple of weeks.

Amazon now has the iPod Shuffle available for pre-order. Since it doesn't have a display, we suggest that you just load it up with the soundtracks from Tarantino's films. That way, you are guaranteed some good tunes.
