The "Original Trailer" for Come Drink With Me on the IVL seems far more colourful than I remember. When I first saw it, it looked like almost all the colour had been drained out of it. Now it looks the same as the "Original Trailer" on the DD disc.

The BBFC downgraded the 18 rating to a 15.
Surprised I got the new remastered disc.

I watched the Blu-ray trilogy over the weekend and they look amazing, the restoration on the first 2 films really is first class.

Looking forward to it, will be my first time seeing Godfather

(a.k.a. My sassy Terminator :mrgreen:)

This I just bought in order to finally own an anamorphic, decent release of "Suicide Club". The other two movies in the collection are "2LDK" (already got the german DVD) and "Moon Child" (which is crap).

I recieved:
Save The Green Planet! - 2 Disc UK SE - (very good film)

HungFist · Post by **HungFist** » 10 Jan 2009, 11:04

I also got the HAD set, because of Suicide Club... only to have a new R2J announced a month after. D'oh.

Do tell me more about My Sassy Terminator after you've watched it.

What other films has the director of STGP made? The film is just a bit bonkers

But very good. The ending is very sad

Shingster · Post by **Shingster** » 10 Jan 2009, 16:30

I don't think he's done anything since STGP grim.

Watched "Electric Dragon 80000 V" already, quite surreal and bizarre with deadpan humor. All those random screeches and shrill riffs (a guitar being raped?) got a litttle bit on my nerves, though, nevertheless I still sort of liked the concept as a whole because it wasn't too long.

The following order is not work safe . . .

Yikes!

I've never heard of Hot Wet Sake, but I think I know Abe Sada.

I ordered:

Spiderman 2.1 (R1)
Spiderman 3 (2 disc) - it was cheapy cheap

HungFist · Post by **HungFist** » 13 Jan 2009, 21:35

I do remeber when the HK dvd of Wet Hot Sake was released. The title gave me a few good laughs, but I doubted the film would do the same, and didn't proceed.

Obayashi's Abe Sada is... uhm... different from all the other versions I've seen (Teruo Ishii's, which is ok, Noboru Tanaka's, which sucks and not in a good way, and Nagisha Oshima's, which I recall being somewhat good). It's an extremely visual film. Unfortunately I can't say if it's good or bad since it's been so long since I saw it.

Other versions? Ooops, I guess I was thinking of "A Woman Called Abe Sada", I didnt know other films called that.
I'm not buying those films just for the covers, Hung

I firmly have to disagree. Tanaka's version is a damn fascinating experience, edgy and beautifully filmed. Got the german DVD from Rapid Eye Movies. But then again I also managed to find some value in Konuma's "Wife to be sacrificed".

Will be checking out some of his other movies soon.

Looney Tunes: Golden Collection Volume Three (R1 US) Amazon.com - only took two weeks to arrive and I used Amazon's cheapo mail.

Spider-Man 3: 2 Disc Special Edition (R2 UK) - from PlayTrade (new)

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 16 Jan 2009, 19:11

My Looney Tunes set has a film cell with it (or something like that).

What would you get if you mixed Grim with Hungfist?

Someone who love Looney Tunes Japanese Exploitation of course.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 16 Jan 2009, 20:17

Which is a scary thought.
Nothing wrong with classic Looney Tunes

I'm pretty sure Japan is producing something for such people, too

(And yes, I know I should've bought the anamorphic release from Joy Sales instead, but back then I was in a buying frenzy and thus didn't notice; hopefully the subs are placed well within the picture)
