I hate watching films on my PC, and I still haven't found a decent way of getting films onto DVD that play 100% right. It's always a bit stuttery. It's just not worth it downloading them. They never look or sound great playing off my computer, and it ruins the film experience. I've never done that with a DL flick. I'd rather sit in the comfort of my living room with speaker set up etc.

I will admit though my excitement for some new Dolph got the better of me, and I've ordered the Thai DVD. Should arrive on thursday. I'm expecting something on a level with Peacekeeper and Direct Contact.

Forgett everything about the quality of the webmovies. That shouldnt you reason, you dont download movies. The main reason should be the respect for the movie makers and the fact that you hurt the industry you are loving. Atleast. thats my reason-

I just noticed that the picture of big D, in the cover is a picture from The Mechanik, same shirt, same look and the shotgun he carries, i'm certain of it, but still it looks good :)

Well then maybe the studios should learn and cut that crap. I'm always *very* annoyed when those anti-piracy ads show up on DVDs I've BOUGHT and I've PAID FOR. Why the hell do they put this on there? They must know that, when ripped, these get deleted. So they can be sure that the pirated copies are better than the originals.

Anyway. I received emails saying that my two Thai DVDs have been shipped now. Can't wait!

PS: Reminds me... have to unlock my DVD player, get rid of that stoooopid region code. *grrrrr*

I think that's called denial (and I guess they also wanna make sure their ass is protected in terms of legal disclaimer)

This movie's lookin' pretty damme violent! The cover doesn't really bother me that much anymore and based on the trailer, I'm sure to be purchasing this upon release. Hopefully it'll be at a decent price for some good Dolphage.

I quite agree. I can't think of another industry that treats its legitimate customers as criminals - actual or potential.

Anyway. I received emails saying that my two Thai DVDs have been shipped now. Can't wait!


Let us know when they arrive! (Like you need to be told ;)

Believe it or not, the media companies have even persuaded governments on both sides of the Atlantic that shipping DVD players WITHOUT region coding, or allowing people to unlock their DVD region codes, should be made illegal!

But to put a smile on your face. Last month Gordon Brown visited President Obama in Washington. There was the usual exchange of diplomatic presents - Obama got a pen holder carved from the timbers of a British ship that had helped enforce the end of slavery. Brown got - a box set of classic American movies on DVD. (You can see this coming can't you?) On top of being a lame present for a visiting head of government, the White House didn't bother to check the Region codes on the disks. So GB headed back to the GB with Region 1 disks and couldn't work out why they wouldn't play in his R2 player!

I know this is a little off topic but that´s the funnies thing I´ve ever heard! That´s a gift mismatch right there!

ANyway, judging by the stills, there are some cool things happening in this flick, but it also looks a little "cheaper" than for example CP.
Spring, era jävlar!
