For all of the unlucky ones!
« on: Apr 08, 2006, 06:40 AM »
Hello dear members..

Well once again, we are left behind (Europeans...and I'm sure others)

I had to wait to see the movie and now I have to wait to see the DVD...

So instead of screaming my frustration on the other threads already talking about the DVD, I thought of creating a new thread, were we could all cry together and bite our nails and do whatever we do until we finally get our hands on the DVD!

I know that this thread will only last a few weeks, but come and join me...let's cry together!

This DVD release is one b**ch of an unsatisfactory situation!

The reason the UK version is taking longer is because of all the extras they've added. All the deleted nude scenes, plus the too-hot-to-handle love scenes which ended up on the cutting room floor.

Well, okay, I lied a bit. Just trying to make you feel better...  :-*

Well I guess it's for the best... coz I just had a eyes-operation a coupla days ago so my eyesight is kinda blurry... I'm doing great efforts to read the posts here so I probably couldn't watch the movie now anyway... and if I had it right here and couldn't watch it I'd go crazy, so I guess it's for the best I don't have it yet...

Just trying to comfort myself here...

Naaa, it's not working  >: :-\ >:(

I WANT TO SEE IT NOOOOOOWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can pre order from Play.com. £11.99 (free delivery). I ordered mine already.

http://play.com/play247.asp?page=title&r=R2&title=879641&p=57&g=72&pa=gencs

Sometimes with pre orders you will get them 2 - 3 days prior to the release date.

I look forward with anticip..............................ation to the release.

I feel so bad for those who have to wait for the DVD. If I could make the DVD region free, I would. Multi-region DVD player is the solution.

Why are there different region players anyway?  Is it because of the television set they are shown on?

Because of the different theater release dates in different regions of the world.  When a DVD is released in the US, the movie may not have been released in the theaters overseas yet...  so it's the studios' way of preventing movies from being seen at home before theater release.  The TV system is a different matter - Europe uses PAL and Canada/US/Japan uses NTSC.

Yes, America uses NTSC format which correspond to the number of lines on a colour TV screen to make a picture.
Most of the rest of the World uses PAL, a different format and known to offer a better picture defiinition.

Thank you for that explanation dirtbiker.  Of PAL and NTSC which is the better format?  Or is that a question best left unasked because it would start a regional fight?

TV Systems (interlaced horizontal lines/times per second):  NTSC - 525/60; or PAL/SECAM 625/50...  Pixel encoding on DVD's - 720x480 (NTSC) vs. 720x576 (PAL)  So PAL has higher horizontal scans translating to slightly better resolution.

This DVD release is one b**ch of an unsatisfactory situation!

Yes it is. In finland with subtitles the DVD is coming on July  >:(
The most difficult scene was the paragraph where, on the mountain, Ennis holds Jack and rocks back and forth, humming, the moment mixed with childhood loss and his refusal to admit he was holding a man.

- Annie Proulx -



From the vibration of the floorboard on which they both stood, Ennis could feel how hard Jack was shaking.

I am so thrilled to announce that BBM DVD will be released by the end of April in Hong Kong!!!!!!!!!!  ;D ;D ;D
(Jarhead was released 2 weeks ago)

I have only watched once in the theatre (I dared not go to the theatre again coz that time my eyes were all swollen when I went out of the cinema, and had to rush to washroom to cry again...) I missed it soooooooooooooooooooooo much and after that I could only go to Youtube to watch the video clips.

I will embrace my DVD (and a family pack of tissues for sure) soon~ I hope there are bonus track in HK version.

Or two days plus however long it takes amazon to send it to me :(

I really thought they would send it out before the release date, so that I actually got it on the 24th, but that's looking less and less likely since my order status still says expected delivery 27th-29th ::) I knew I should have gone with play.com, but amazon was cheaper and I ordered another movie at the same time from their sale (A River Runs Through It)

Ach well, I guess it'll just mean a couple more days anticipation and a few more viewings of the youtube clips....
