I hope the folks who run DVD Beaver come around here & read this...I think it is one of the finest dvd/film sites on the net & I hope they can find the means to continue..I wish I had $$ to donate but I don't...if I did, DVDBeaver is certainly one of the few sites it would go to...don't give up...
if you must own it now, the Italian version appears to be the obvious choice because of the digital fogging on the Japanese version...I have heard rumors that there will be a legit region 1 release of this soon (possibly from Criterion?) - just rumors, so take them w/ a grain of salt :)
Criterion version will likely require you to take out a 2nd mortgage on your house to get (beware of bootlegs!), I think the BFI version is PAL so you will need a region free player that does conversion, etc if you dont already have one (if you are trying to see something as odd as Salo, chances...
hey all...I got the Peckinpah box from Deep Discount DVD & my disc 2 of the Wild Bunch is trash, so it's NOT just the Amazon boxes...neither of my set top players will play it properly & the dvd rom in my computer wont display anything at all...sigh, don't really know what to do at this...
hmmm...sounds like I should perhaps wait a few months - seems to be some major changes occuring...there is certainly no hurry now that you have let me know I won't be getting any pic quality changes :)
ah, Robert, thank you VERY much for the help, just what I was looking for! sad news , though... I also did indeed fear that compression was part of the problem with the channels looking so bad...what a shame sadly, my location probably would not allow for anything resembling decent reception of...
hello again all...here is the situation: we have DirecTV, standard def satellite...some channels that shouldnt (i.e. Fox, NBC) look atrocious...it's not the TV, as dvd looks fine (it's an older Samsung HDTV, CRT 30") & I suspect that it is the fact that I have to use S-Video as that is the...
jeez, this & the box set are nowhere to be found in ANY of the many wal marts in my area (ill be d*mned if I'm gonna pay Blockbuster's exorbitant price for it either) grrr..
My top 10 w/ these caveats: no particular order, not necessarily based on outstanding AV quality...simply stuff I love / enjoyed / can remember without going home & looking through the collection: 1. Cannibal Holocaust spec. ed. 2. Sex & Fury (The best movie I'd never heard of) 3. High...
I'm gonna throw in my $0.02 & sing the praises of this film...I am a LONG time horror fan & very serious about my "studies" in the genre, just so you know, & I think HT is the best horror film I've seen since Audition (maybe even better on a "pure scare" level)...I took a chance on it & am glad...
great news...El Topo has been on my must see list for a long time...just never got around to seeing it...man it's a great time to be alive for fans of esoteric cinema :)
timing indeed :) like the bad timing i had a while back when I paid 50$+ for Fulci's Zombie on the old Anchor Bay disc & it became readily available a few weeks later :frowning: DOH!
