If anyone has one day to live I'd bet that he wouldn't be worrying about much of anything.Small stuff, big stuff, whatever stuff...Kinda changes one's perspective no?
Me?I'd probably worry about why my LOTR doesn't have DTS.hehe

Have a nice day too.

Talk about having only one day to live, I guess I'd spend that day tinkering with this baby.

Well, that was a nice way of putting it. If that were the case, then we should all just get pirated copies. I believe the point of advancing technology is to get the best out of a product. The LOTR movie is probably the pinnacle of the Fantasy genre, and an extraordinary achievement to the art of special effects. We would be doing the director, its actors, its production people a gross disrespect if we were able to only appreciate a movie DVD that was not up to par with their vision of a tecnical masterpiece.
I am not a collector, but it matters that a DVD comes from a quality reliable source (these are usually, but not always, R1's), sealed, containing sound quality that the director wants us to hear and feel, visuals that match the productions' vision and an assurance that what you get is the best that storytelling has to offer. I'd spend my last waking second just to touch that.
Peace out, dudes. You have your own opinions and I respect that too, as much as I hope you'd respect mine.  

Have a nice day too.

Obssesive-Compulsive  It's a trait among people who are usually successful....in fact ...most of the personalities(Einstein,Bell,Gates...yes...even Rizal) that  have contributed a lot to make this world a better place to be in are known to be  OC. ;

On the other hand at the far extreme part of the pole...those who despise people who have OC trait are best exemplified by ERAP.

In Psychiatry of course....anything in excess is considered pathologic...hence...once control has been relinquished and the personality becomes affected and productivity impaired.......it's now called an Obssesive-Compulsive Personality Disorder...this is now totally different from the trait which is in a strict sense moderately needed in this life in order fro one  to become an achiever. ;

Now what side do you wanna be??? ;

CHEERS :-

Now what side do you wanna be??? ;

Definitely the  DARK SIDE. "It is too late for me my son..."

Got my LOTR dvd yesterday ! Woohoo !!!!  


Forget Legolas (Orlando Bloom), the man to watch in the dvd is Bret McKenzie, an elf extra in the Council of Elrond scene. He was only on the screen for three seconds ... and my, what a presence !

They do say that the Elf race is the best looking.

Legolas looks kinda cool to me. He's the coolest among all the characters, including Aragon (who most girls dig), and I think it's partly because of the hair.  

Good news! I received word from the owner of Astrovision that yesterday's LOTR "raid" was due to a filing error and a timing issue. The confiscated copies will be returned to the stores as early as this weekend. He emphasized that the R3 release will not be distributed here in the near future since all stocks in the warehouse are R1.

Apparently, C-Interactive was able to get approval for the R1 version from the VRB, presumably with the blessings of New Line Cinema whom they represent exclusively in the Philippines.

Thank Goodness Somebody has interpreted the LAW right this time ...hopefully this will pave the way for more New Line releases such as BLADE 2 ...and in the near future.....Dreamworks.

More news peeps!!

I just passed by Astro in Megamall at around 12:30+ and inquired whether they have the LOTR DVD in stock.

Made in Korea? So mine was made in Taiwan.

my dad bought a copy at Astro, sm fairview today bago sya umuwi...   tumawag muna ako sa Astro nung umaga pero sabi nila wala na raw silang stock... nagulat nga ako nung nakabili ang dad ko sa kanila... siguro naninigurado lang sila na hindi official ng vrb yung tumatawag...   sabi ng dad ko, tinatago raw nila yung mga DVD... you have to ask pa for you to be able to buy one... mga 2 copy pa yata yung natitira as of now... sana tuluy-tuloy na ito sa mga future releases ng new line...  

I went to Astrovision Megamall this morning. Akala ko wala nang LOTR DVDs, pero sabi ng nasa counter tinatago lang daw nila. Nung pinakita nila binayaran ko na kaagad, baka kasi pagsisihan ko pa kung hindi ako bibili ngayon.
Tinanong ko kung maraming DVD ang na-confiscate kahapon. 10 DVDs lang daw, kaya business as usual sila uli.
Bukas ko pa mapapanood yung DVD ko kasi naka Night Shift ako ngayon, pero happy na ko!!!

While waiting for my supplier to deliver my LOTR DVDs, I contented myself with the VHS tapes. (I can't stand VCD pixels). And to my surprise and delight, I saw that there were some scenes added that I didn't see during the December advanced screenings. No earth-shattering moment, but an angle of Sauron that wasn't there before, a new view of the firecracker going up into the sky, an additional close-up of Gandalf as he listens to Saruman---and I went, "Hey, this ain't bad after all!"
