Is the Throne of Blood DVD worth buying or is the Criterion better?

EvaUnit02 · Post by **EvaUnit02** » 02 Aug 2007, 17:58

Don't know, try DVD-Basen and DVDbeaver Grim.

BTW I have the R4s of The Quiet Family, Breaking News, Ong Bak and the Kitano movies.

If anyone needs a comparison to help make up their mind when purchasing:- Drop me a PM, I'll slap up a set of caps and you can match em with whatever (use virtualdubmod/Lourdes's capture method to make the job easier).

I did a comparison of Avalon here. It uses the same master as all the European R2 releases and has proper English subs (no shit dubtitles like R1).

Cheers Eva. With the R1 and UK R2 SEs OOP I'd say it's a safe bet the R4 Quiet Family is the way to go. I think the HK DVD is piss poor.

From an extras perspective I'd go with the R4, it's much cheaper too.

I have all the Madman's I want.

EvaUnit02 · Post by **EvaUnit02** » 02 Aug 2007, 23:29

Yeah. If you buy the R4 Throne of Blood and it turns out to be a conversion, then just consider it a cheap gap filler until Criterion puts out an HD version eventually.

I don't think Grim notices NTSC-PAL. I don't always (sometimes it's blatant), it's definitely more obvious on an LCD TV though.

EvaUnit02 · Post by **EvaUnit02** » 03 Aug 2007, 00:17

Brad, I'm so happy that you didn't ask "what's your source for Criterion planning to put out films on HD". It is so great when Brad doesn't behave like typical Brad. (Just educated speculation on my part, it's just inevitable that they will pick a format.)

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 03 Aug 2007, 11:54

Nah, I don't really notice NTSC-PAL much

The R2 BFI looks shite next to the Criterion, I'm sure the R4 will look better than the old BFI.

Hey Eva, does that shop charge on order or when they ship?

EvaUnit02 · Post by **EvaUnit02** » 04 Aug 2007, 11:48

On shipping.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 04 Aug 2007, 12:10

Thanks.

Much cheaper than the Criterion (obviously) so may go for that.

Wierdly I'm only given the option of paying with Paypal

Not weird at all. That's the only pay option that customers outside of Australasia are given AFAIK. A year ago they didn't even offer Paypal, so thus some of you chaps had to order through me.

Nothing wrong with Paypal, unless you foolishly leave large sums of cash sitting in your account.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 04 Aug 2007, 17:55

OK, but why is the cost given as "£19.32" (if you pay in sterling) or something at the checkout? $14.99NZ is about a fiver?!

EvaUnit02 · Post by **EvaUnit02** » 04 Aug 2007, 18:26

You could order through me if you'd like.

The transaction information in this thread should still be valid.

My bad it comes out as £13.65. Still seems very high

This offer stands for all long-time BnB regulars (including a certain vindictive prick. I'm a bigger man you than are, for one I can let things go.).

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 04 Aug 2007, 19:05

Thanks Eva - that'd be nice.

How much?

EvaUnit02 · Post by **EvaUnit02** » 04 Aug 2007, 19:08

I've linked to necessary resources a few posts up, calculate it yourself for the time being. I can do final calculations when the time comes.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 04 Aug 2007, 19:15

Thanks.
I need to enter a new account though, the one I use(d) for Paypal is empty.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 05 Aug 2007, 01:58

If your PayPal account is empty it will automatically default to your debit card/credit card/bank account or whatever.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 05 Aug 2007, 09:47

I know that

But the "debit card' I last used for paypal has no money on it, so I'd have to enter another one

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 05 Aug 2007, 14:57

Actually Eva you needn't worry about Throne of Blood

I'll get it another day
