See if Mordib will put it as a banner on the front page and e-mail a few of the bigger DVD sites such as DVD Times and DVD Active to see if they'll promote it for you.

I've just noticed the site looks very much like the Classic Old School Bullets from back in the day.

Thanks for your advices.

Yes, it looks a lot like the old Bullets as it was also made with the PostNuke software.

Build up an active forum which leads to a bigger community, then you higher traffic meaning more ad clicks and more money to expand.

Why not talk to the site owner of bullets and merge them ?

Ld, you can run the front page with news and reviews, and bullets can just run this forum from your site.

You could try asking to put a banner on other sites, but start small, a plce like DVDtimes will probably want quite lot of money for it since they are quite a large site. Start with small sites similar to yours and offer to exchange ad banners for free.

I know theres tons of martial arts and asian cinema forums out there but i think your site looks professional enough to be popular, you just gotta attract the right crowd in the right numbers.

Great idea, Jimmy. So I'll put up a forum link on my site which links to Bullets. Will do so soon.

Great idea to merge Bullets and your site LD. I know Mordib has wanted to start a portal for ages.

That way maybe new posters will show or old regulars (from before my time) may return.

I don't find it annoying but did wonder why it's there?

You can make it disappear by clicking on it.

"Spirit of Jeet Kune Do" aka "Once Upon A Time In HighSchool" HKL trailer:

Looks pretty good, that trailer makes me want to see it :D

Yeah, but it's quite misleading. The trailer makes this drama look like an action film. :|

They did the same thing with Volcano High. (turning a whacky comedy into a Matrix-like scifi-action film).

Has anything been cut from Highschool then? :)
Its' more of a drama, OK.

It's a good film with some nice drama and with awesome action at the end. IIRC there are also quite a few cool training sequences. As the film takes place in the early 1970's, the leading character's life is very inspired by Bruce Lee.

Yup and I will just keep getting the better Korean releases of films as PA dvds just get on my nerves, you wait years and get the worst dvd, pointless ever waiting from now on with the cut/international versions they keep forcing in us!

Is there a international cut of OUATIHS? :? There might not be, all Tom meant was the PA trailer gives the wrong impression of the film.

It depends on what you impression of it is to start with, I dont see trailers forst so it doesnt matter to me anyway as they ruin most films.

Tom says its more of a drama than an action film :)

TBH I don't know whether they made an international cut for Spirit of Jeet Kune Do.

I hope not.

Good point I don't think in reality it would've helped but I wasn't expecting VH to be so much of a comedy.

That's a massively over the top statement when it's actually 1/3 of PA DVDs that PA have altered in some way. 2/3 are the definitive DVDs!

Sure that's high but hardly ALL of them. Besides they do become cheap eventually so worth picking up for the extras.

Who knows we never knew there was a Crying Fist IC until recently.

Thats what I mean, we don't know, it doesnt mean PA will make an IC.
