Including unusually Raging Bull. I went for:

Raging Bull
The Orphanage
Erin Brockovich

Making them £9.48 each. Result! On two of them especially.

p.s - All are Region Free, including The Orphanage which is RA on US BD.

That's excellent value for a 2-disc DVD that only came out today.

Shame it's still cut.

Need conformation of the R1's uncut status though.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 23 Mar 2009, 18:36

You mean cuts made at the editing/production stage for a 12A?
Those cuts may apply worldwide or perhaps, as with CR, R3 gets a full uncut version.
Have to agree, less than £7 is superb value for a brand new release.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 23 Mar 2009, 19:11

I thought it was agreed the UK and USA were the same pre-cut cut, no?

What's cut from the UK one? I may download a DVD-Rip, sometime in the future. I've no interest in paying for it but should give it a second try.

p.s - Pity the BD is £18

The dvd is £7 in Tesco's until Wednesday, the BD is £14.99 in Morrisons.

When the BR is £7, then call me

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 23 Mar 2009, 19:24

I'm not sure exactly Brad, I thought it said on the BBFC site one scene was edited.
I wonder when the R3 comes out?
Isn't the UK 3 disc of CR uncut? If an uncut print of QoS exists maybe it will be released here sooner or later.

Oh yeah. It definitely read that it was pre-cut.

grim_tales wrote:Isn't the UK 3 disc of CR uncut?

Afraid not, it's the same 12 rated cut. It would have to be 15 (I think) to be uncut.

grim_tales wrote:If an uncut print of QoS exists maybe it will be released here sooner or later.

An uncut CR is more likely.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 23 Mar 2009, 20:33

Let's wait and see on other DVDs of QoS...

For that price, it wouldn't put me off. You guys waste so much energy on seconds of cut footage. Meh!

grim_tales wrote:It wasn't that bad

It certainly was, utter rubbish. The only recent Bond that is worse, is Die Another Day (easily the worst of all of them).

I saw "For Your Eyes Only" on TV again yesterday. I'd forgotten how good it is. So much better than the pantomime "A View to a Kill" from the week before. It's maybe one of his best, playing it mostly straight. Too many Moore Bonds went for camp over realism. I liked how it had no dungeon lair or over the top villain.

You've gotta love the 80s poster too, they'd never get away with that nowadays. It's a shame it's not been re-used on the recent BD.

"The Man with the Golden Gun" is also good. The truth is most Bonds are enjoyable while they're on but most aren't keepers. I can name probably 6-8 which are very good, the rest only enjoyable.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 23 Mar 2009, 20:49

I thought you gave QoS 3/5?! Or was that Mark?
Well I liked it

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 23 Mar 2009, 20:53

You should know by now I don't give any film a mark out of five, it won't have been me.

Region 1 says 107 minutes the Region 3 quotes 105 minutes

Region 2 106 minutes

If they were all accurate it would mean Region 2 being the longest

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 23 Mar 2009, 21:28

That's true, CD-WOW aren't usually accurate though.

saltysam · Post by **saltysam** » 24 Mar 2009, 14:32

Region 2 runs 1:41:53 according to my dvd drive.
