Kill Bill Vol. 1 - Worst DVD Ever

It actually can due to the rotation speeds of the player. The shape can effect how (structurally) stable the CD is while spinning, and could cause it to break.

Most drives don't rotate a CD that fast, esp. standalone ones.

Hell, I'll buy the DVD for the sight of Lucy Liu with a sword. Just got my confirm email from Amazon, I should have it in a couple of days.

I bought the disc today for the hell of it. Only $15.99 at Best Buy. I didn't see it in the theaters, but I quite enjoyed it on my TV (did they have subtitles in the theater, when they were speaking Japanese?). I'm probably gonna have to go watch Volume 2 at a theater this weekend.

Here's some Kill Bill DVD info from The Digital Bits:

First up, according to the latest issue of Video Business, director Quentin Tarantino has big plans for both Kill Bill, Volume 1 and Volume 2 on DVD. The director has been quoted as saying that he cut an alternate version of Kill Bill, Volume 1 for release in Japan, that will be released in the States eventually. This version contains both new footage and omissions. He also plans to assemble a complete 4-hour version of both films together for art house theatrical screenings. Look for a multi-disc "major special edition" of both films on DVD, which may include significant deleted scenes (including the original introduction to the character of Bill, who originally fought Michael Jai White, as well as the original scene at the wedding chapel). Tarantino is also reportedly considering releasing additional stand-alone supplemental discs after the main DVD release. He was apparently inspired to do this by Universal's recent American Pie: Beneath the Crust DVDs.

And here Hunt tells QT where he can stick his viewfinder:

Okay Quentin... we're ALL for a killer Kill Bill mega special edition, believe me. But the Beneath the Crust additional bonus disc idea is lame. Beneath the Crust did little but piss off fans who had already purchased multiple versions of the American Pie films on DVD - you could only get them by buying yet ANOTHER version of the films. Our advice is just release one massive special edition with everything, and if you really have to do more, wait for high-definition. Just our two cents.

Actually a standalone supplement is not the same as what American Pie did.

AP made you rebuy the DVDs to get the extra discs. What QT is saying he wants is closer to the Matrix Revisited, a stand-alone supplementary disc.

They did sort of cover that, but their main point was that what QT wants to do is still a bad idea, economically.

That is true. But between getting a good release eventually even with double dips, and getting only a shitty release, I'd rather go with a good release eventually.

But that's just me.
