The General HD Releases Thread!

[saltysam]

don't like Time Bandits either

[romerojpg]

Thats about all I love of his (Baron Muchehouzennazzi is nice and Holy Grails alright as well).

as a Director he is so far up his own bum he pretty much comes out his own mouth. No wonder he rarely gets films made, or they end up dodgy.

[grim_tales]

Holy Grail is hilarious

[romerojpg]

I wouldn't go that far

[gasteropod]

No love for Twelve Monkeys here??

[romerojpg]

Its average at best for me, like most his films I watch once and forget forever.

[bradavon]

Hope its the Director's Cut.

I'm guessing European cut. Don't Criterion hold the rights to the Director's Cut? I doubt it will be the butchered theatrical cut. The European and Director's Cuts are supposed to be almost the same anyway. The UK DVD is the European Cut.

Holy Grail is hilarious

It's okay. Very overrated.

I've got 12 Monkey on HD-DVD but have never seen it.

[bradavon]

Double postration.

[grim_tales]

Romero, bah - Holy Grail is one of my fave comedies Certainly deserves a BD like Life of Brian got.

[Markgway]

Double postration.

That sounds painful.

[bradavon]

If you forgot the lube, quite possibly

[romerojpg]

Balls! if it hits a tenner I may get it not buying them all again!

[saltysam]

part two has never been out on BD in it's theatrical version.i prefer that to the Hybrid Donner cut that came out.

[romerojpg]

I couldn't take that hybrid version, it just felt a total unfinished mess (which it was I guess ).

[luckystars]

Hmmmmmm buying Superman again....


Ok!

[bradavon]

I'm happy with my SE DVDs of Superman/Superman 2.

Wow interesting they admitted the missing audio as a 'fault'.

Hats off to Disney.

[grim_tales]

Do you have to send the whole package or juat the discs?
I'd forgotten all about that.
I'll give it a go later.
What number do you dial on a mobile for calling the US?

[Markgway]

What number do you dial on a mobile for calling the US?

This site may help:

http://www.countrycallingcodes.com/

Won't you be cheaper using a landline?

[grim_tales]

I'm sure it would but I don't want to charge my parents for it
I got through but wasnt sure what number to press.

[romerojpg]

It will be like £3 a minute for USA on a Mobile!

[grim_tales]

If they provided an email address it would be more helpful IMO.

[grim_tales]

I emailed the Disney Help Centre instead. I don't see why it can't be done that way.
