"A timeless tale of a young man searching for an artistic something something. When he finally finds what he's been looking for in the movie Grindhouse, our hero discovers that creative expression will always be enslaved by the corporate machine."

For anyone who saw Grindhouse in the theaters, you'll understand the pain.  For those of you unaware, Grindhouse was a double feature consisting of Rodriguez's Planet Terror and Tarantino's Death Proof.  What made Grindhouse special was that was both of these films together as one, complete with missing reels, grainy footage, and fake trailers.  It was an homage to classic Grindhouse films.  It was simply one of the most entertaining movie going experiences in years.

Yet, it was also one of the biggest flops in years.  Due to poor marketing, the film failed miserably at the box office.  In hopes of trying to recoup any of their losses, the powers that be decided to release the film as two separate DVDs, one for each film.  Even worse, they did not hold the rights to any, but one, of the fake trailers and also reinserted missing clips back into each movie.  Thus, the DVDs were a shell of the greatness that was Grindhouse; taking away nearly everything that was special about the film.

That is what inspired this PsychoNoble film.  That is, simply, The Tragedy of Grindhouse.
