“‘This is the beauty of having two volumes,’ said Rick Sands, chief operating officer at Miramax. ‘Vol. 1 goes out, Vol. 2 goes out, then Vol. 1 Special Edition, Vol. 2 Special Edition, the two-pack, then the Tarantino collection as a boxed set out for Christmas. It’s called multiple bites at the apple. And you multiply this internationally.’ Ah. Only a company as brazen as Miramax would flat-out admit they plan to screw DVD buyers. I wouldn’t have bought the Kill Bills anyway, but if you were thinking about it, it seems best to hold off. (And, yes, this is different from the LotR extended editions, since those were announced in full well before any version of the film went on sale.)
