    POTTER MAR-ed in R4. How does this bode for R1?

    The one thing that amazes me in this is that it will encourage people to get region free players, quite the opposite of what the distributers claim to want. I prefer to buy local region DVDs unless I get more on those from other regions - this will be one more to get from overseas. Is there...

    I love this Gladiator DVD Extras disc feature

    I'm a history teacher and after using Gladiator as a "summary" of a lot of the attitudes, values and happenings of the late Roman Republic and Early Empire I showed the deleted scenes without commentary and asked the students why they thought they were left out. After discussion I played the...

    September 11 fund raising help from HTF members needed.

    Be careful with the tax for that many t-shirts being sent to Australia in one parcel - one t-shirt per parcel will get through with no tax but even 3 in the one parcel is likely to result in hefty import duties. This was something we discovered after we queried the $134 import duty and sales...

    Moulin Rouge

    The thing that intrigued me watching this on my TV (a normal 68cm screen) was that I saw things I had missed in my 9 times at the theatre - I think it is because everything was within my immediate field of vision. Picture and sound were terrific (but I freely admit to not being an expert on...

    Robbie Williams Mr Bojangles

    Robbie Williams may not be not the household name in the US or even in Australia that he is in the UK but having just bought his latest album of old classics I felt this was worth posting. His version of one of my favourite songs of all time, Mr Bojangles, had me covered in goosebumps (despite...

    Moulin Rouge DVD Review In Movieline

    The new edition of DVD Now (an Australian magazine that is well worth looking at) contains an article on the Moulin Rouge DVD as well as free DVD with The Making of Moulin Rouge on it - if the comments passed by Baz Luhrman on it are an indication of the kinds of things we'll get on the...

    Moulin Rouge returning to theaters Nov 21, but...

    It's already re-opened in Australia with billboards saying to catch it again on the big screen before seeing it on the small screen (the DVD). One Australian DVD magazine (DVD NOW) has "the making of Moulin Rouge" as a giveaway on DVD in its next issue - it does come on the actual DVD as an...

    *** Official "HARRY POTTER & THE PHILOSOPHER'S/SORCERER'S STONE" Discussion Thread

    Sorcerer's or Philosopher's Stone ?? It will also be itneresting to see if the differences in the differences in teh ENglish and American versions of the books also apply to the films - things like "crumpets" in the English version becoming "muffins" in the American version. There were quite a...

    Random Movie Discussion #3: Stargate

    I'll go for a hunt for my copy of the email at the weekend Woody, as well as the original site - it was the oficial film site - not sure if it's still around now as it was a few years ago now, but I know that I did print it all off at the time. Christine

    Random Movie Discussion #3: Stargate

    It was a film recommended to me by my students when we were looking at the concept of parallel universes and black holes (it was a gifted and talented class of 14 - 15 year olds). I loved the basic premise on which the film was based and the combination of Egyptology and Sci-fi. On checking...

    Other Region DVDs

    ANd if you are comparing region 2 and 4 DVDs it is most definitely worth looking at the cost if they have the same features - the exchange rate means that a region 4 disk is likely to be cheaper in the US than a region 2 one. Local DVD magazines here have started to announce a few independent...

    Warner Australia churning out MORE NTSC DVDs to the Australien PAL DVD Market!

    It's surprising that more DVDs aren't region 2 and 4 compatible - Elizabeth was one of the first DVDs I bought and it was a region 2/4 DVD (PAL) - seems a lot more logical to me. But then again, it doesn't appear as if logic enters into the DVD market too often. *S* many music DVDs are regions...

    'THE BEGINNING', now THAT'S what I call a behind the scenes documentary!

    George Lucas's comment "I'm afraid I've gone too far this time" reminded me of the comment John Lennon passed on hearing Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band for the first time - he said "I think we've gone too far this time". The source of that is the person he was speaking to. Just...

    Jedi-Fast Subtitles in SW1?

    The first lot were fine here but just before the pod race there were none, follwed by lightning flashes of words - time to check out the ENG 1 and ENG 2 thing by the look of it. Christine

    Women In Love... when?

    This is a film I paid an arm and a leg for on VHS - would love it on DVD. A film that once seen is never forgotten - from the nude fire-lit wrestling, to the fig eating to the Oliver Reed's final scene. Christine

    Help me out...here's music that matters to me...who else might I dig?

    I'd put Jeff Buckley's "Grace" at the head of the queue of purchases if I were you!! And also the latest "Live at Olympia" - a concert recorded in paris and worth having (ignore Mystery White Boy as it is rather piecemeal). Christine

    The Dish - A Great Movie

    I hope for the sake of all you region 1 people that the DVD came with all the extras the Australian release did. It is one film where the commentary is well worth listening to - in both the film and the NASA footage. Christine

    DVD region comparisons

    Ages ago someone posted a link to a site that compares the different versions of films on DVD according to the different regions. Could someone please let me know what it was again as I lost the link when my last computer decided it was time for it to self destruct. Thanks Christine

    Benny and Joon query

    Thanks Brian, It does look as though it will be another region 1 DVD I buy - Unbearable Lightness of Being was the first, then Bob ROberts (which has since been released in region 4 but with fewer commentaries). Christine

    Anyone ever meet someone for a date after chatting online?

    The comments on here so far have been from a male perspective, so perhaps it is time for a female one. I've met several guys I've chatted to online - some through a mailing list that was music related - those people have become good friends (as have quite a few women I met through the same...

    Benny and Joon query

    Thanks for the comments and the link to DVDfile which answered all my questions extremely well. One day I'll work out why companies seem to assume that because I am in region 4 I don't want the extras etc that region 1 gets. Christine

    Benny and Joon query

    Benny and Joon has just been eleased in region 4 ( saw it in a shop but not online) but after checking on Amazon the region 1 version has deleted scenes and a commentary track - both seemingly missing from the region 4 version. Could someone who has the region 1 version please comment on the...
