Re: ACGS - I love that film so I'll keep my HKL disc.
Evil Dead 2 - I checked my DVD last night and the picture seemed brighter than I remember.

That's because they are plasticky, they Noise Reduced the old Anchor Bay dvd to hell and back. Scares me more than any film.

Mind you I am sure a new version of Evil Dead 2 will be on us soon on Blu Ray and will decimate that piece of crud out now.

You're probably right - maybe for the 25th Anniversary or something.
The 2001 DVD actually has some cool menus and the "This film may be too intense for people under 17" :D
I'll watch and see but will probably hold onto the old release now.
I looked at a grab of Ash's face with blood on it - in the DVD grab I could make out the sweat, stubble etc which is all gone in the BD grab.

Ohh I expect it will be before the 25th Anniversary, as they know people want it now :D as long as they put in the amazing effort they did with Evil Dead, well Evil Dead 2 will look amazing, hopefully :)

Chungking Express (BD)
Having a quick look, I thought the transfer looked fine, but I've seen this movie with a few different translations now (TV broadcast, VHS, R1 and Korean remaster). The end credits are completely different from the TV version - must be a different print (the copyright date says 1999 rather than 1994 for some reason).
When I watched it on Channel 4 and VHS, it had these credits:

Ahhhh... I'm a huge cheapskate, so I love the sales which always take place in the new year. Bought a new coat today, plus 2 new coats for my girlfriend (no idea if she'll like them), and it cost a total of 138 euro, where the coat that I bought was 180 euro before the sale :)

Yesterday bought 2 new sweaters at MEXX for 40 euro combined. :)

I really can't understand why people buy stuff full-price. Just a little patience usually pays off big-time.

Now I just need to do some jeans-shopping, which I HATE. They never seem to have pants which are just right for me ...

There are a bunch of EA games on sale over at the Xbox marketplace. I tried the trial for Deathspank. Loved it. Purchased it for 600 points.

What can you tell me about Ong-Bak HK BD? Is it the uncut thai version? Does it have the original music in the marketchase-scene?

Little Big Planet 2 CE, from Axel Music, for about 75-80 euro delivered. It's the USA version, which means there might be problems with the DLC, but I usually don't buy DLC, so hopefully it will be OK, and considering Axel ships from within the EU, it should be OK customs-wise as well...
