So I take it the voucher combo is still working for you lot? I havent had anything shipped yet

they are either out of stock, or are going to cancel my order I guess.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 20 Apr 2006, 18:18

I've ordered about 5 items in the last week and a bit and all have shipped/arrived no problem. Using the £1 Pepsi voucher code and a £1 voucher link.

In fact I ordered Untouchables yesterday evening with £2 off and it shipped today so all sweet for me.

Yeah they all shipped for me as well - I got £4 off Wonka R1 (didnt mean to use 1 of those vouchers, was just checking they didnt expire). Now I have 1 £3 voucher left.

Found some good bargains:-
R2UK The Graduate: Director's Chair (Momentum) - globally available best release of this film. £3.99.
R2UK David Lean's The Bridge on the River Kwai 2-disc SE - £3.99.
R2UK Scorsese's The Age of Innocence - £3.99.
R2 Scorsese's The Color of Money (Swedish release) - anamorphic transfer + (I'm guessing) non-forced subs (since there's multiple language selections) - £2.99.

R2UK Cameron Crowe's Vanilla Sky - £2.99.

I'm ordering you to stop posting at Bullets you making me broke

.

I've yet to find a Scandinavian DVD with forced subs. Anyway it would be hard to program forced subs with more than one choice of subs.

My Dad has that Graduate DVD it's really nice. If they were to re-release it I'm confident it could look even better as the PQ is missing that 2005/6 Remastered sheen but it's still decent quality. Time to get my own copy I think.

p.s - I wish Cruz had comment on the Vanilla Sky DVD. I wanted to hear about why she decided to play the same part again after she did in the Spanish original and any differences she noticed but otherwise it's a decent DVD of a decent film.

Pretty obvious, cash, fame and Tom Cruise.

I remember telling my friend about Penelope Cruz dating Cruise after his split with Nicole Kidman. He jokingly asked "So he's now dating his sister?"

Thanks for that insightful comment. I don't need to wonder what Ms. Cruz would have to say now

Eraserhead: R1 SE £9.99 -

http://www.cd-wow.com/detail_results_2. ... ode=261586

I never knew this was finally not an exclusive on the DavidLynch.com site (since January it seems). It's been extensively Remastered and has a 90 minute Lynch interview too.

Yes, that and "Short Films of David Lynch". Both are terrific discs, well worth picking up. The remaster quality is amazing and the 90min interview is fucking excellent He tells fascinating anecdotes in it - this is definitive "making of" of Eraserhead. The Short Films disc is very good too, Before and after each short are extensive in-depth clips of Lynch giving the history behind each short. Worth seeing for "The Grandmother" and "The Alphabet" alone.

The DVD of Lynch's Dumbland has seen general release too. It's utter garbage though - 30mins of crudely drawn Flash animations (all of which Lynch did painstakingly by hand, voiced all the characters, animated himself, etc) filled with toilet humour. I downloaded a couple of the episodes and they were fucking dire. (see them here).

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 27 May 2006, 18:23

Shame Eraserhead is utter bile!

I want a quality release of Dune! cheap! grrrr.

Lynch is a good man to see and hear talk, shame about him still not getting many Quality dvds on the market of his films.

Isn't Dune: SE R1 the way to go? I hear it's really good.

EvaUnit02 wrote:see them here).

Excellent link there Eva. I'm downloading some of the Mulholland Drive stuff (my favourite Lynch film). Including a Mulholland Drive deleted scene.

They have the whole "Short Films" DVD too, great. I'll download that to save me buying it (unless I like it enough).

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 28 May 2006, 16:22

No the French version of Dune has better picture and the Region 1 isnt exactly anything special at all in any way sadly

EvaUnit02 · Post by **EvaUnit02** » 28 May 2006, 16:37

R1 = Alan Smithee cut in original scope ratio + a number of English extras including a lot of deleted scenes.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 28 May 2006, 17:11

Yep it looks special to me. If Romero wasn't so fussy he'd own a lot more DVDs

For those who can't wait: King Kong (2005) UK R2 2 Disc SE, £6.99 (after vouchers):
