No PG18 huh....... sorry my mistake  blush.gif .
All i am trying to say is that : It is better to get an Unrated copy than a Rated one. Is that correct ?
*
Just get unrated version for uncut version. (If they is unrated / uncensored version)

But if you can't stand for maybe (normally will be more) violent, explicit scenes, nudity and etc, then just get the rated / cut version.

---------------------------------------

The Last Emperor Blu-ray only 1 disc - that criterion edition.
http://www.amazon.com/Last-Emperor-Criteri...97427331&sr=8-3

4 disc edition is DVD not blu-ray.
http://www.amazon.com/Last-Emperor-Criteri...e/dp/B000ZM1MIW

List price at Amazon is the actual normal price.

Sorry bro but what do you mean by cut version. You mean censored?  hmm.gif

If you meant shorter version, then you're right. According to the review of the Criterion release at blu-ray.com:

"The Last Emperor has been shown to audiences around the world in two different versions – a shorter version (164 min), also referred to as the Theatrical Cut, which is found on this Blu-ray disc, and a longer version (218 min), which was reconstructed for Italian TV."

164 mins not enough for you ah,taiko?  laugh.gif

Oh! got longer version! thanks for the infor, then I wait until 218mins BD out 1st. smile.gif

I dunno why I am so tempting buying BD, all my BD 99% is original! this is opposite with DVD times where 99% is ahem copy.

Am I poisoning with BD? Ops! ...... icon_question.gif

Hey, Andrew, how much is the average price of the BD u buy in amazon including shipping and everything.
Thinking of changing to the 'good' side. tongue.gif
*
Average? Hard to say, I buy whatever I like, normally I take price range not more than USD $20 per title. This not included those limited edition or box set I truly like, but for normal single title, I won't take if it is USD$25 and above, unless the packaging is something special, I may consider it.

You need to spend more if you loving more on documentaries & concert as the discount is lessor on those category.

For a good start, maybe you can search via price range at Amazon USA:
  • Under $10 - normally in such discount, the slip cover was no longer there.
  • $10 to $15 - average price range for me, slip cover might not be there also.
  • $15 to $25 - this the price range I seldom get unless special titles I can't wait for, or special case that interesting me.
  • Over $25 - mostly for limited edition, box set, documentaries, tv series.
Amazon UK - normally cheaper a lot than Amazon US, packaging may different, I notice UK never like of digibook design.

Amazon DE - loving a lot of steelbook edition, too bad mostly title written in german. Only one title get so far "Transpotting" not arriving yet.

Amazon JP - JP is the most expensive price range, only two titles I get from there via my friend which stay at Japan.

Amazon CN - the only title I get is "Aftershock", not arriving yet.

Amazon CA, FR, IT - never get from this country yet.

** Only Amazon US & JP is 100% region A. The rest Europe country in region B, China is the only country in region C.

All those others country BD need to do some homework before get, you need to confirm it is region Free (or at least is region A capable) before get or else you might not able to play it. Unless you play via PC with region Free BD-ROM or you own DUNE BD player which is RM1k++ per unit.

Just done a quick review for Enter the Void.

First, this film really deserve NC-17 rating (This film is unrated in US. Probably never send to MPAA for rating but IMDB's parental guide suggest, it is NC-17).  Lot of nudity.

Second, too much flash scenes especially the first 2 mins opening scenes  rclxub.gif

Third, no everyone will love this kind of moive  laugh.gif  Camera already move between buildings and past memory and present.

How come it so sound like "Irréversible" they way it shot the film, this film also a lot of flash scenes, camera moving around until you can feel faint and plenty of nudity.

Same like me.. but due to my big plans next year, I need to reduce my BD buying spree. Now I thinking how to dispose my ahem DVD..
Depends. Personally, buying BD is about how do u feel of the movie and izzit worth to buy as a collection. Spartacus - Blood & Sand, Glee SE01 & SE02 is on my list on Black Friday.  biggrin.gif
*
Yalo, my house got 2 big box of VCD not yet dispose (no time to bring throw, it has been there more than 10 years never touch)... haha..... ahem DVD ma.... even more..... not yet on dispose also, but will slowly dispose it those already get BD one. I think my original DVD was less than 15 titles, but my original BD only around 3 months already got 30+ titles!!!! Ops!

Big plans next year???? Now just 2nd month of year 2011, you already plan on year 2012 lah? tongue.gif

-------------------------------------------

I think I know why I not get Original DVD that much last time (thanks I didn't do also last time) as when DVD out, it did not meet my expectation, I know DVD is not clear enough.

But BD is different case, I so love it crazy sharp, clear image, it look perfect for me even my 1st time seeing it.

-------------------------------------------

Glee also in my consideration (I think 99.9% I will get the BD, too love on this series, ops!), even thought I already finish watching Season 1 and season 2 up to recent Ep 12.

Spartacus I already got the BD, only watch 1st disc, haha........... no mood to continue yet as I also finish watch it before I buy the BD..... the new prequel .. ok la.... it seems simple story with more nudity. Finish watch up to recent Ep 4. haha.... The only I can't stand on Spartacus is it seems too many word of "FXXk" That century got such wording one?!? I feel not lo... Don't know will get the prequel BD or not when out... Not sure the season 2 will ever success out or not, no news from the season 1 actor yet (hope he already finish fight with his cancer) and the prequel is too short, left 2 episode only. If not mistaken it only got 6 episode.

The social network is a good movie, I didn't feel boring on watching it. But worth to get BD or not I not sure la, for me it is a one time watching movie, I won't re-watch it.

Just search around USD $10 to $15 price range BD, I believe you shall be able getting one.

Ahh , the digital copy looks nice on the iPhone . I really love it . I usually depend on reviews and watching those movies on cinema before getting them on BD`s . Piracy is bad for the industry but i do agree somewhat with you about individual preference in downloading those movies before purchasing them . I dont do it though .
*
The digital copy is only fun if you have iPhone/iPod touch, I do transfer it to my iPod touch for those BD came with Digital Copy for fun. I won't rip myself, too lazy doing that.

I do download/stream before I purchase most of the titles unless I watch it before in Cinema or confirm sure it is 100% worth it. I won't simply just buy all the BD titles, it just waste of money if the title purchase somewhat crap as I watch a lot of film, if all I buy,,,, I think 1 month I can get at least 30 titles or so... sorry .. I not that rich yet.

Reviews are always there to guide you through. Blu-ray reviews rarely fails to deliver detailed reviews . I do endure personal opinions of the reviewers which i find scintillating most of the times. For individuals whom doesn't have the precious time to spend at cinema, this would largely be the next resort for them.
*
Ya, review do help, I check review often as well. But sometimes I will purposely pick and watch badly review film to see how back the film are... haha.... and sorry la... not for buying it for seeing how bad there are.

I am a origin supporter but not a 100% supporter on every single items. At least I find myself support more origin than anyone I knew surrounding me.

Example, I buy a lot of Audio CD, but non is pirated copy, I support on iPhone apps but not 100% on it origin, around 50% I think... now I use Android phone and 80% apps is origin.

and I am sure my BD will be 90% origin on it as I love original packaging and also the quality on it.

I also never support on fake branded material, I rather choose unbranded thing if unable to support on it.

-----------------

I think the only I not use origin is PC software beside bundle Windows.... ops! tongue.gif haha! OK lah! topic end here.... not going to talk more about it.

Well said.

I am a 100% origin supporter since 8 years back. I am proud to say that I have never purchase a single fake or non-original DVD/CD/Blu-ray since 2003. Neither have I downloaded any movies nor drama - all the TVB drama that I watched is either through ASTRO or purchased from Speedy. Therefore my purchase is very limited to only blockbuster movies.

The same goes for other non-Audio/Video items like handbags - it's either original or I don't purchase at all. Many people call me crazy but it is something worth and I believe this is a correct education to the younger generation. My kids only knew purchasing DVDs from Speedy and they have never even thought of looking at those DVDs from Pasar Malam - and I am damn proud of that.

Now, I have cut down my purchase from Speedy - only through Amazon.

Cheers
*
Ya, never ever buy fake branded for me.

Speedy is over price and most Malaysia packaging is bad. Amazon is the reason I support back origin biggrin.gif

Guys,

what is the %/probability of this parcel missing?
Send by Amazon US with Expedited International Shipping
*
I wait 1 and 1/2 months for it to arrive.

Since your shipment use i-parcel (I think most Expedited is using it). You probably end up waiting longer a lot than Standard Shipping Times.

i-parcel shall change it slogan from "Satisfied Customers on Receipt - Worldwide" to "Unsatisfied Customers on Receipt - Worldwide".
