I just received SPL now I just need to find time to watch it.

I just received Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon original region 3 for £3!!!

Haha I bet everyone here's jealous considering how OOP it is? I rule!

I'm not jealous in the slightest. I didn't think there was anything particularly off-putting about the subtitles on my region 3 Superbit which has DTS and will sound better than your version with a better picture to boot

I ordered:

The Three Colors Trilogy (Red, White Blue) R1 from DVD Pacific

Finally!

Lost: The Complete First Season R1 from Movietyme - though I chose "Ship each title in protective box with extra bubble protection" or something like that, as I didnt want the discs coming lose

That cost extra though, but oh well.

Hey,

Just got an e-mail from Movietyme saying Lost S1 had been despatched, about 45 mins after I ordered it!

Cool. That was fast.

Today I recieved:

LOST Season 1 (R1) from Movietyme.

Considering I only literally placed the order yesterday evening, thats what I call good service!!

Just received New Police Story 2 disc Steelbook, which apparently I have won in a contest. Didnt get an email about winning it, so it was a very nice surprise

Not seen the movie before, so hope it's good.

Also received a disc with Xbox Live arcade games, which also came for free. I'm having a good morning in a very lousy week (school SUCKS... I'm NEVER gonna let my kids suffer like this, so I'll keep them at home)

Also got SPL a couple of days ago. Still waiting for Taegugki to arrive though...

Just ordered:

Dragons Forever
Hard Target

Both cheap from Play to fill up the hole in my shelf (Lost won't fit in there, and I dont think 3 Colors will either).

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 18 Jan 2006, 14:32

Cancelled Dragons Forever as it was out of stock and ordered Ong Bak PA instead.

house of fury 2-disc edition-watched already.not much cop is it

BiscLimpkit · Post by **BiscLimpkit** » 18 Jan 2006, 21:53

House of Fury is terrible. Stephen Fung (is that his name?) makes the worst movies imaginable... imo...

brooce-leroy · Post by **brooce-leroy** » 18 Jan 2006, 21:56

Enter the Phoenix was decent IMO.

Pre-ordered the re-release of the PAL version of Ico (PS2).

Thanks Sony Europe for re-releasing the best version of this game and issuing a massive "FUCK YOU" to all the arseholes on Ebay that sell the original release of the PAL version for mega bucks.

Today I got:

Ong Bak 2 disc PA DVD from Play

BiscLimpkit · Post by **BiscLimpkit** » 23 Jan 2006, 13:03

Not fancy the uncut R4?

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 23 Jan 2006, 13:05

Eh? The R2 is uncut, no?

I just got the R2 as it was cheap and the only copy of Ong Bak I have is a boot

It's not uncut I believe. Bey mentions a couple of missing scenes, like the first encounter between Tony Jaa and the skank with the horrible voice, or with George... I forgot, or the 3 of them together in a supermarket.

And obviously, the soundtrack has been fucked up. Some people seem to like the new soundtrack but I really missed the old one, which was classic IMHO. Especially in the market-chase scene.
For 7 pounds, it's still a decent buy though. The making-off is worth the money alone. It's just a shame they fucked up the main feature with the cuts and the new soundtrack. Could have been the best Ong-bak release.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 23 Jan 2006, 16:52

Hmm, thanks. I thought footage wise it was exactly the same as the Thai version, wierd.
I'll still keep the other DVD though.

Ow yeah, same here. In fact I'm recommending most friends who are interested in this flick, to just download a subtitled uncut version, instead of going for any other release at the moment. If PA or anyone else has a problem with that, they should have just released this movie properly.

I also thought the PA release would be uncut btw. I think I read on a few forums that it was indeed uncut. but Bey Logan mentioned the cuts in his commentary... Not as many cuts as the Besson travesty, but still...

But keep the PA for the extra's, as they are awesome. Good thing they didnt replace the soundtrack on that one.

Recieved The Tuxedo from CD-WOW rentals.
I'm deliberately going in with low expectations

It worked for Accidental Spy....
