I am – Hercules!!

Starz subscribers who have been lusting after their very own copies of the theatrical version of “Grindhouse” are in luck. The pay-cable outlet is running the whole shebang for the first time tonight and Monday.

Until now its two component features were only available in extended, unrated editions on separate DVDs (illustrated above).

If you have Starz HD and an HD DVR you can capture Vanessa Ferlito and Jordan Ladd and Rose McGowan and the extra-dreamy Eli Roth in glorious high definition. (Those rascally Weinstein fellows apparently have yet to issue "Planet Terror," "Death Proof" or "Grindhouse" on either an HD-DVD or Blu-ray edition.)

West Coasters with the East Coast feed can watch it Sunday night at 9:45 p.m., but Starz is publicizing Monday’s 9 p.m. presentation.

Look! Press release!

FAKE TRAILERS, BAD CUTS, MISSING SCENES

SEE!!!! TARANTINO & RODRIGUEZ’S GRINDHOUSE THE WAY IT WAS MEANT TO BE SEEN

On Starz March 31 at 9:00 P.M. (et/pt)

Englewood, Colo., March 25, 2008 – Starz presents Grindhouse, Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez’s homage to exploitation B-movie thrillers Monday, March 31 at 9:00 p.m. Over three hours, the two feature-length films, turned into a double-bill, complete with fake trailers, missing scenes and bad film stock will be shown in its entirety, the way it was originally screened in movie theaters. In Robert Rodriguez’s Planet Terror, a small-town deals with an outbreak of murderous, infected people called "sickos," and a gun-legged stripper named Cherry (Rose McGowan) and her martial arts-wielding boyfriend (Freddy Rodriguez) take on the zombie army. Quentin Tarantino’s Death Proof has a psycho named Stuntman Mike (Kurt Russell) stalking and killing beautiful women with his ‘70s muscle car.

Grindhouse features fake movie trailers directed by Rodriguez, Rob Zombie (Halloween, The Devil’s Rejects), Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead) and Eli Roth (Hostel, Hostel: Part II).
