Tarantino XX on Blu-ray: Announcement

Film nerds rejoice! I just received this announcement for a Blu-ray set containing all eight of Tarantino's feature films so far -- including True Romance, which was directed by Tony Scott, but whose Tarantino screenplay is unmistakable. This also includes the two parts of Kill Bill as separate films. (Sorry, die-hards, Natural Born Killers, From Dusk Till Dawn, and the full version of Grindhouse are not here.) There are even two full discs of extras. I already own Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown on Blu-ray, and these are presumably the same discs, re-packaged, but many of these others will be new. Very cool! Below is the press release, with all the details.
