What's the Most Awaited DVD For You?
« on: Nov 11, 2001 at 09:16 PM »
For me that would be the Lord of the Rings Trilogy.  Even tho it's not yet shown here (probably in jan 2002 pa), i'd sure buy it (I'm on a "college student" budget ryt now) Hmm, come to think of it, i'd have a job by then...  :D

I already got my most Awaited DVDs na. :) Citizen Kane and Godfather. But there are still many DVDs I just can't wait to have.

1. The Mission starring Robert De Niro and Jeremy Irons. I already heard plans of it being released next year.

2. Star Trek DVDs Special editions of the Star Trek movies.  Star Trek: The Motion Picture has just come out, and Star Trek: Wrath of Khan SE follows next year. Then there are the season box sets of Star Trek: TNG

3. Star Wars DVDs

4. Platinum Editions of Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast

5. Roots starring LeVar Burton

6. Highlander TV series box sets

These next titles may or may not come out, but I'd go NUTS if they eventually do make it to DVD:

1. Shogun starring Richard Chamberlain
2. Sapphire and Steel TV series

Well, Star Trek is supposedly a future where there is finally equality and racism is finally abolished. Theoretically, even Filipinos may be a part of the Federation. In fact, I'm quite sure of it. So really, the positive future presented by Star Trek (well, not counting the Borgs and the Klingons and other hostile species :) ) is something Filipinos could dream of.

Well, back to topic, I forgot to mention that one of the DVDs that I'm really waiting for is Moulin Rouge this December.

Like Komikero, I already got my most awaited DVD for 2001, which was The Godfather movies.

But I still have some titles that I can't wait to get my hands on:

- The Original Star Wars Trilogy, although George Lucas has said that we won't see this until after Episode III gets released (2005), but there's no harm in hoping those titles get released before that...  :)  And I hope we get the option to be able to see the original versions (and not only the Special Edition versions with all those edited/added scenes).  If they can do that for the upcoming DVD release of ET, maybe they can also do that for SW...

- ET: The Extra-Terrestrial

- Complete season boxed sets of Star Trek: TNG and Buffy: TVS

- Special Editions of Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, and Jackie Brown

- Special Editions of Raging Bull, GoodFellas, and Mean Streets

- Schindler's List

- Serpico

As I intend to be a stout advocate of R3 DVD's, the most awaited DVD's for me are already available in the market, except that they are in R1, i.e.  Kevin Smith movies with the exception of Dogma, a more complete Oliver Stone box set (I think Astro sells only the 4-disc set), Kurosawa films, etc.

I likewise await the inclusion of the DTS track in R3 DVD's, The scarcity of which is the very reason (though false as it may seem) why I patronize pirated DVD's that have DTS tracks.

PEACE :)

If I were given the choice, I'd personally choose R1 DVDs rather than go for pirated DVDs because at least R1 DVDs are official releases and money I paid would partly go to the people who actualy created the movie, and not to somebody in a hidden warehouse somewhere with DVD replicating equiptment.

I too am a BIG supporter of R3. Just as long as they are faithful in content to the R1 version. But there are some titles simply won't see the light of day as R3 titles, specially those coming out of Criterion, and these includes some of the more popular Akira Kurosawa films. They have made it publicly known that they will be releasing ONLY R1 titles.

The R3 of Unbreakble clearly shows us that Buena Vista doesn't care to share with us their VISTA Series here in Asia, prefering to keep the 2 disc fully packed version in R1 only.

I want to support R3 as much as I can, but these companies just make it really hard.

Woodie,

Cool! a Filipino (or Tagalog) subtitled Matrix!:

"What is the Matrix?":
"Ano ba ang Matrix?"

"..just follow the white rabbit.."
"..sundan mo lang ang puting kuneho.."

"Goodbye, Mr. Anderson."
"Paalam, Ginoong Anderson."

From the spoon-bending scene:

Spoon boy:"Huwag mong subukang baluktutin ang kutsara. Imposible yon...Kundi,tanggapin mo ang katotohanan."

Neo:"Anong katotohanan?"

Spoon boy:"Na walang kutsara"

Neo:"Walang kutsara?"

Spoon boy:"Tapos makikita mo, na hindi ang kutsara ang bumabaluktot, kundi ikaw lamang."

LOL!!! ;D

Unfortunately hindi siya DTS. :( Here is the synopsis I got from DVDExpress:  Contains: Jurassic Park (Special Edition/ Widescreen/ Dolby Digital), Lost World: Jurassic Park (Special Edition/ Widescreen/ Dolby Digital), Jurassic Park 3 (Special Edition/ Widescreen) and bonus disc...

Pero okay na sa akin yun!  ;D

I've tried playing an R1 disc, and it didn't work.  I think I've mentioned this in another thread, I got a Pioneer 535K, and from what I've gathered, other 535 owners got theirs region-free.  Dunno why mine isn't.  Frustrating, isn't it? :D
