Latest DVD Purchases

[Sir Calumn]

As far as I know this is no directors cut of the Departed in the works.

There has, however, just been a DVD rerelease of Children of Men, meaning you no longer have to settle for that ****ty vanilla edition with the cover that looks only-just-not-pirated. The new one is two disk and has lots of special features, and best of all, if you have the vanilla edition you can send it in and they'll replace it for the new one free of charge!

A bunch of DVDs I ordered from the US have just arrvied....

Le Samourai
Tunes of Glory
The Player
The Pawnbroker
Cloak and Dagger
Kiss of Death
Richard Lewis: Concerts from Hell
Lewis Black: Red, White and Screwed
Steven Wright: When the Leaves Blow Away

It's a hardcore piss off that there's so much great stuff available in the US that you cant get in the UK - especially standup DVDs.

How are you doing that with the DVD regions thing? I'm going to the US next week and thought about buying a bunch of DVDs over there, but immediatly realized they wouldn't work on my european DVD player (region 2). Am I wrong or do you have another way to get past it? I'm really not sure how it works...

Lots of UK DVD players can play all region DVDs, especially the cheaper ones you get from supermarkets and the like because it costs money to encode them. In my life I've bought four different DVD players and every single one has played region 1 DVDs. Apparantly even if you do get one that's encoded you can crack it just using the remote, but I dont know how. You could search on google though.

I use the PC, I put the DVD in and open it with RealPlayer, I can't remember EXACTLY how, but there is an option you can use that de/recodes it, normally, though, when I put it in, a pop-up appears asking me if I want to change the area code, and that does it.

I read somewhere that after 5 changes, you wont be able to change anymore?

Haha, I remember watching the first 2 or 3 of those movies, and Hellraiser II (if I remember correctly) was sooooooo crap.

 

[Parra Power]

I need advice.

12 Monkeys
Hostel
Casino

.. all cheap ATM as part of this sale down here. Are they worth buying?

I've purchased it because of the design in the first place.

Look for a small program called "AnyDVD", that should solve all the regional bullsh!t, please it even has a function that allows your DVD-player to jump straight to the menu, without having to watch through all that copyright crap.

I've purchased it because of the design in the first place.

So you bought a bunch of crap movies just to own a cool box? Wow, I guess Russia is nearing Western standards if you can afford that.

Well, actually it's made by the pirates so it's not really expensive. So I guess we're still pretty far

hmm.....no superlatives or overly charged sentences can come close to describing the quality of this show, man. It's probably the best HBO produced show ever......hell even the best show ever made in tv history....bar none...ehm. I mean, it and the Sopranos are 1 and 1A for me, but the depth, intense level of absorption and writing on the Wire is just simply unmatched.


Now I've been meaning to buy these as collection pieces for quite a while, but I just never got around to it, man. With season 5 (most likely the last one) looming, I finally got the impetus to grab 'em to refresh my recollection of the first three seasons.

hey btw......any other SGers fans/follow this show?
