The Guardian has an article up about the possibility of splitting Grindhouse into two separate movies, as they are doing overseas. This is not really news and frankly I feel they should have done this from the start. Only showing the complete Grindhouse as a double feature at special screenings. What caught my attention though was a quote at the end of the article from Harvey Weinstein, the man who financed the films and notorious for milking every last cent out of movies...
"I don't think people understood what we were doing," he said. "The audience didn't get the idea that it was two movies for the price of one. I don't understand the math, but I do want to accommodate the audience."
Right, it was the audiences fault. This has nothing to do with trying to make more money because your film was a flop.
