What Have You Just Ordered or Received?

No, I thought ACE 1 (contained on the remastered disc) is the theatrical version, and the old release is an extended version (TV cut?) or something.

You're right. But who wants foolscreen non-anamorphic junk just for one extra scene? Would be okay if it's open-matte though, is it?

Not sure.
Are the R2 DVDs extended? Theyre anamorphic.

Nah, the theatrical cut.

R1 remaster has 5.1, R2s only have 2.0 surround. Highly likely to be just a discrete upmix though, if Warner's Batman (1989) SE is any indication.

EDIT: Nah, Ace would've highly likely been in 5.1 originally, being a 1997 flick and all. R2 = probably downmixed fail, not really important for a smaller budget comedy though.

Actually it was a 1993/4 film. But as you say 5.1 probably isnt as important for ACE.

You heard much by Ryan Adams? His debut solo album features some tracks that are extremely close to classic Dylan.

I've heard a little by him, not the debut album. Thanks, I'll give it a look in.

book six is a little slow, but not bad, book 7 is well, final and a pretty good read.

hope you get the real deal,there's a lot of boots about,even on Amazon. i recently ebayed my region 2,got £40 for it

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 27 Jul 2007, 21:22

How can I tell if its a boot?
It seemed a good price, the seller had a high feedback rating (96% or something like that).

I recently got the OOP Pinocchio SE (R2) from Amazon UK Marketplace, that was legit.

saltysam · Post by **saltysam** » 27 Jul 2007, 21:52

when you receive it,check this- inner id ring numbers (G5060) F6447 which cannot be dupilicated by bootleggers)

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 27 Jul 2007, 22:04

OK - thanks!
The ones on the hologram ring thing in the middle?
He looked an OK seller - I avoided a cheaper one (for $22.95) as in the description it said "Single disc.. Single disc" which made it sound like a different version.
