Grindhouse has just been given a running time and a rating, and it looks like we're going to have to have an intermission as well as the fake trailers.

At over three hours long we're looking at a hell of a sit down, even for two films, the fact that they are nailed together with fake trailers means that no film fan will want to leave the cinema while they are on, so unless they throw in a break or cut the films down then I'd say take a cushion, some food and drink, and one of those cardboard things from hospital.

The good news is that it will carry an R rating, according to Box Office Mojo through AITH. There's been no talk of toning anything down, something that I thought there might come a time for.

So we're another step closer to seeing this unique double bill. You know I don't care if it is this long and we can't leave the cinema, because this is such a unique project and these films aren't being churned out two a dozen, I think we'll manage to be glued to the seat for that length of time, don't you?
