Today I got:

Many Adventures of Winnie The Pooh (1977) from CD-WOW rentals

Of course Pooh is an English bear in the books but I cant imagine anyone else other than Sterling Holloway doing his voice, and its so sad Paul Winchell (voice of Tigger, who did a superb job) recently passed away

I just think this is a nice, friendly movie.

Keeping it in the family, his daughter April provided the voice of Baby Herman's mother in Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988).

Yesterday I received Amerie - Touch CD from CD-Wow.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 19 Aug 2005, 15:56

Is that a CD, IM?

Who is it by?

IronMonkey · Post by **IronMonkey** » 19 Aug 2005, 20:41

Yeah, its a CD, and its by Amerie, d'uh!

She's a lovely lookin half-Korean, half-African-American young lady (she's 25) and I'm sure you've heard of a couple of songs - "1 Thing" and "Touch". You must have at least seen the videos on MTV - they're on all the time (not that I'm complaining!).

I'll post some amazing pics of her in the Fine Birds topic...

She has the finest legs on the planet!

I think I've heard "1 Thing" - d'oh!

My bad

She is quite nice IMO

Today I recieved:
Monty Pythons Life of Brian R2 from CD-WOW rentals

IronMonkey · Post by **IronMonkey** » 25 Aug 2005, 22:23

Today I received Ong Bak!

Watched it tonight. It's such an adrenaline rush! The Eastern Eye DVD seems pretty good (only watched the Thai version so far).

The picture is better than on the old Edko release but it does have some film scratches here and there. I definitely think these will be cleared up for the Premier Asia release.

By the way, the subtitles are yellow, just to let anyone who doesn't like them know.

brassmonkey001 · Post by **brassmonkey001** » 26 Aug 2005, 00:39

Shouldn't most of this lot be in the 'What have you just received?' thread?

gasteropod · Post by **gasteropod** » 26 Aug 2005, 01:55

Is the Premier Asia release going to have the original cut on it?

IronMonkey · Post by **IronMonkey** » 26 Aug 2005, 08:32

It will have the uncut version of the film but with a new music score throughout the film. PA thought this wasa good idea and haven't bothered to include the original music track.

That is why I bought the Eastern Eye DVD - fully uncut and the original Thai soundtrack.

I will still buy the PA disc just for the better picture quality (almost certain) and more extras...

gasteropod · Post by **gasteropod** » 26 Aug 2005, 15:06

I guess I won't be buying the PA then - new soundtrack my ass! Since when have the HKL guys thought it was a good idea to change the soundtrack on their releases? Deary me.

EvaUnit02 · Post by **EvaUnit02** » 26 Aug 2005, 16:23

Today I received from Amazon:-

Where from?

It doesn't look like CD WOW have it anymore

. I knew I should've picked it up.

tom2681 · Post by **tom2681** » 27 Aug 2005, 01:51

From Play. It's very cheap there (£8.99 for the 3-Disc edition).

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 27 Aug 2005, 01:53

It's good but was under £5-6 when at CD WOW

. I already own the lovely Korean LE so for £9 I'm not interested.

I only want it for the better English subs.

tom2681 · Post by **tom2681** » 27 Aug 2005, 01:57

Ah, right, that's the "english subs that subtitle the english dialogue" that bother you.

Talk to you later, coz'

and I need to get some sleep.

Is that picture from Young Master, Tom?

Today I recieved:

Game of Death: Platinum Edition from DVD.co.uk

For some reason mine had a different cover - instead of "Special Platinum Edition" across the top it said "Platinum 'HKL' Edition" and the old picture strip down the left side was missing, and replaced with 2 Chinese characters.

Nice cover though.
