I agree with Eva, there was no need for LD to respond like that

THAT caused my reaction. I never said that the Muslims in this film are 2D cutouts or anything similar. If it wasn't your intention to make it appear as if I wanted to say that, then I apologise.

The film was made from the Crusaders' perspective...

Clearly, you have not read a single interview with Ridley Scott about this film.

Seriously I don't understand why muslims (or in this case LD) keeps obsessing over cultural/religious history? Aren't you German?

It's not like I go nuts everytime they get vikings all wrong in a film is it? Like say The 13th Warrior?

(I'm not flaming LD for being LD or for being muslim... I just wonder why these topics keep popping up...)

thelostdragon · Post by **thelostdragon** » 24 Apr 2006, 11:59

gojensen, where am I going nuts over Scott, getting things wrong in KoH? I just expressed that I'm sad that there wasn't more footage of the Salladdin-storyline.

Besides, I am German according to my passport, but I am not interested in German history as much as I am in Islam's history.

Personally I think as much as Scott likes to think he's being fair:

A: He's a Christian (I'm pretty sure?) so even slightly biased without even realising it maybe.
B: This is a Western film so is going to ultimately veer even slightly to the Christian side.

As for what Gojensen has said I have to agree tbh. No offence LD but you did fly off the handle earlier up this post so you were going nuts. I'm not saying you didn't have a point or right to, far from it just pointing it out.

The Patriot is completely and utterly inaccurate in portraying the American war of independence but most Brits still loved it. I thought it was rubbish because it was incredibly poorly made myself. The fact I'm sure many Americans now believe it to be accurate is somewhat worrying though.

Besides, I am German according to my passport, but I am not interested in German history as much as I am in Islam's history.

Interesting point you raise over what our nationality is versus what we believe we are inside.

I prefer to think of myself as English with Irish heritage far before I think of myself as British but it's what my passport says.

Ask a Quebecan if they think they're Canadian?

19 Days to go . . .

FYI I've e-mailed CD WOW to see if they'll get it in which they're bound to. If it's less than £15 with vouchers I'll go there other DVD Pacific here I come.

CDWOW come on please! 10 quid will be nice, please.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 04 May 2006, 23:57

LOL £10 would really be sweet but it's never going to happen.

I'm hoping for £11.99 after vouchers.

Ok... I'm new to this thread, but did I miss something? Why the hype about a 4-disc release for a movie that was absolutely trashed in the reviews!?
Why does this movie even GET a 4-disc release!?
Yet a movie like Out of Sight still only has a non-anamprphic 1 disc release in R2...

Anyway, I guess LD is upset because the director acts like he's telling a realistic portrayal of how itw ent down, while in fact it's a very one-sighted and 1-dimensional, sensational look at the events. The director had a huge chance to do something very very interesting, yet he made a simple western-propoganda period-action flick.

Not that we should be surprised though. We've seen Hollywood doing this for ages now. When was the last time a big epic Hollywood movie really also showed the islamic side of events!? Lawrence of Arabia or something!? I honestly dont know.

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 05 May 2006, 13:00

Because the film was heavily cut before release and apparently is far better with all the cut stuff back in

I liked the film, but it did feel cut.

Out of Sight is pants anyway

just get the Region 1.

Yi-Long · Post by **Yi-Long** » 05 May 2006, 13:12

I love Out of Sight.

And I wont be buying the region 1, cause I'm sure that one day it will get a decent release...

How did you like Orlando Bloom in this flick then? I cant imagine seeing a movie with him in the lead, and not be annoying my ass off. He's such a lousy actor with little to no charisme....
Did they edit him out and replace him with a CGI cardboard box!? As THAT would probably be a better performance.

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 05 May 2006, 13:23

Orlando works better than I imagined he would, he ussually looks like some small little boy in films, at least he felt bigger in the film

Remember how you got really mad when you heard Seven Swords was cut to shreds well this is the same.

I assume you've not seen it? Because like Seven Swords it really feels cut (even more so). I knew as soon as the film finished if it was uncut it would've been sooo much better. It had oodles of potential.

Plus for me anyway I love these epic films.

Yeah that's weird, get the R1 job done. Personally I thought it was average.

That's almost as stupid as your rambling about the Ong-Bak R4.

Yi-Long wrote:How did you like Orlando Bloom in this flick then?

Not bad. Yes he's not the right man for the job but better than expected.

Besides the cuts the MTV style battle editing annoyed me most. I hope they fix that.

They sound great, they are in actual fact suck

bad extras all the way, the kind of extras that should never be put on a dvd.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 06 May 2006, 15:17

Why not?

Its' anamorphic. 5.1, has a commentary, making of and deleted scenes. Romero what more do you want?

EvaUnit02 · Post by **EvaUnit02** » 06 May 2006, 15:24

Out of Sight is okay, a slick high forgettable popcorn film that was really just an excuse to get funding for The Limey.

The film is fine, anamorpic and 5.1, but the extras are awful, just because its got loads of extras does not mean they are good quality. They are shit plain and simple, as watchable as paint drying

I demand quality extras that are not just promo puff piece shit.

They were considered great and were the common type of features back then. The non-R1 versions are the same I believe except for being non-anamorphic.

thelostdragon · Post by **thelostdragon** » 07 May 2006, 00:30

Whoa! The US price is really a bargain. At Amazon.de, the German site, the German version costs €30.99.

Gonna wait.

Are you talking about OOS or KOH?
