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

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.

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.

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.)

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?

On shipping.

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.

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?!

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.).

Thanks Eva - that'd be nice.

How much?

by EvaUnit02
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.

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

If your PayPal account is empty it will automatically default to your debit card/credit card/bank account or whatever.
Posted: 05 Aug 2007, 09:47
by grim_tales
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

Actually Eva you needn't worry about Throne of Blood

I'll get it another day
