At the moment, yes thats right.
I didnt know the SE's of Goldfinger/YOLT were cropped?

Is the new foley distracting on those 2? Very annoying the R1's (with original tracks) come in a random set

I might well upgrade, it seems to be less of a problem on Goldfinger than YOLT

Grrr it annoys me CD WOW putting the prices down after the DVD/CD is released. Sometimes it works by pre-ordering but others you end up paying more.

It should be always be cheaper if you preorder :shock:

For lovers of films by shit directors:-

Lady in the Water R2 - £8.99 B.D.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 08 Dec 2006, 19:28

You mean R3 but thanks, the UK R2 is £14.25. I've been thinking about it as the HD-DVD Combo is risky at £18.99.

I could then send it back and get the HD-DVD Combo if I liked it (all bar Signs of his previous work is good). Which used to be nice and easy but it's now a pain as you need to send them back to Cyprus.

WTF, Cyprus? Is Cd-wow run by Shakespeare enthusiasts or something?

(If you don't get the reference, then go read Othello - which rocks.)

Why is it so cheap though?

Only Danish subs mentioned here and a release date of the 23rd of January:

http://www.dvdoo.dk/ShowItem.aspx?ID=38965

I'd recommend e-mailing CD WOW to check. This better be the Original (aka: also the version the UK got) not USA cut, which is 1 minute shorter "I think".

Personally I'm waiting for the extended cut which Ronny Yu (in a link over in Asian provided by LD) has confirmed it coming, it should be early next year.

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 16 Dec 2006, 00:29

I'd like to see the extra scenes -- but isn't the film long enough?

I enjoyed it as is and am worried it will become bloated with an extra 40 mins.

Too many movies are overlong these days.

I watched an old gangster drama from the 30's and it was 80m (NTSC!) Yet not an ounce of fat or waste. Directors take note.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Fearless EE joins the ranks of the Kill Bill SEs and Terminator 3 EE TBH.

saltysam · Post by **saltysam** » 16 Dec 2006, 10:13

it works out at £17 on the dvdoo website,if this has english subs it's a terrific bargain at £1.99 after vouchers

i personally have the hd combo dvd on the way .

Which considering that uses Seamless Branching is the best DVD version out there.

That DVDoo price is pricey but as for the company they're very good. I've used them 2-3 times; Scandinavia has some excellent Asian Film DVDs with English subs for example.

I couldn't agree more but the Original HK Cut isn't going anywhere so if I find it too long then I'll just get that.

Plus I really want to see the cut Yeoh footage.

Me too, but the director does clearly say it's coming. I'm happy to wait until the new year.

I've already got a good quality Original HK Cut DVD.

Strange, I never noticed

I know you've told me this before but isn't Denmark part of Scandinavia? Anyway here:

http://www.dvdoo.dk/search.aspx?Text=asian+vision

AFAIK the only other Volcano High Director's Cut (with English subs).

HungFist · Post by **HungFist** » 16 Dec 2006, 18:17

No, I haven't told you. I don't even know myself what belongs to scandinavia and what doesn't

I thought Asian Vision's releases were mostly NTSC to PAL conversions...

I didn't know that.

I've only bought "Sword in the Moon" which isn't. "Resurrection Of The Little Match Girl" is the only English subtitled version worldwide.

Some are definitely awful in either 4:3 or non-anamorphic state.

The R4 has the DC, DD2.0 only + integrated branching for the DC.
