No. But watch an open-matte copy of The Shining in 16:9 zoomed mode and you'll see what I mean.

Crap film anyway, more cropping the better

Ha ha ha ha! You're the best, man!

The Shining is a pathetic film with no scares and no common sense and some appauling overacting. Kubrick a his ego worst, its about as scary as a turd in a swimming pool, which you are not in.

Tempting but I just know CD WOW can beat it, under 10 notes please.

Boo hoo it's £13.99 at CD WOW. I'm waiting.

HMV have an alternative artwork:

Notice how the 2 disc sets look threadbare with no Bey Commentary?

Looks good and like the definite release, doesn't it? Or has anything been changed again (cuts, soundtrack etc etc).

The HMV cover looks awesome. They should have made this the universal one.

From what I understand PA "Tom Yum Goong" is uncut/unaltered.

Whoa! I really wanna have it. Would anybody be so kind to order it for me from HMV. I love that cover art. I'll send him/her the money via PayPal.

i can do that for you 8)

Until reviews of course no one can say for sure but people are saying the cinema print was fine so it's highly unlikely this won't be.

The R1 is going to be cut and the Korean R3 has dodgy subs + no English friendly extras. No other version has English subs. So yes it's the definitive version unless the R4 from Madman (I think) beats it but what could they add of any great extra value? Answer nothing.

Personally I'd say they're as good as each other. I'm certainly not paying more just for a better picture.

The regular version will be under a tenner not before long.

can already get it for just over a tenner £10:70 ish...ahh the perks of being a student

Well the extras are poor from the reviews I have read so far just endless interviews like most crappy KL and PA title it will be 6 quid by Christmas anyway, no way I will buy a PA title new.

That's to much. It's needs to be £9.99 before I'm interested.

If Ong-bak was outstanding then £10.99 would be fine but OB is far from outstanding so I have a heavy level of caution.

At least it has extras

LOL 71p, big deal...

however, i never pay more than £8 for a dvd, thats the max i will pay, below £6 if i can get it. helps with the student discounts and the sales. just cant afford to pay much for stuff lol

£2.70 big deal

hey its more than 71p and £2:70 can buy me some jelly tots!!!

the film isn't as good as ong bak,if you were underwhelmed by that then you will be by this imo

Thanks. I'll still give it a try but IMO Ong-bak isn't a keeper.

Ong-bak is a mile-stone in action cinema. Plus the making-off is definately a keeper, if you're into martial arts action movies.
For me, OB is a keeper. Not a movie I will watch time and time again, but whenever I come across someone who hasnt seen it yet and is interested in action flicks, I'll lend/burn it to/for him/her.

And how does TYG compare? Isn't the action as good?

The interesting thing about TYG is that you can see how much of a success "Ong-Bak" was. Only from the trailer of TYG you could see that they had a lot more money.

I absolutely love the action in TYG. There are so many fights shot for a couple of seconds/minutes without a cut, it's just mind-blowing.

What I miss in TYG though are the little fights you had in "Ong-Bak". The tournament-like combats. In TYG it's all very evil thugs versus good guy, while in "Ong-Bak" you had people like Toshiro, simply fighting for a buck. They basically have different motives. The only person in TYG where I had the feeling that he was fighting for the sake of competition or combat was Lateef Crowder's character (the capoeira guy from Zero Gravity).
