At least the original mono track has the correct audio. I don't like these 7.1 reimaginings for classic films anyway.

True, I feel the same as well. Haven't popped my disc in yet - do you know whether the default audio is the mono or the 7.1?

It seems dumb to release both sets looking exactly the same but for the inside to be different.

I might cancel my pre-order and get the US release instead.

I believe the US release is region free (people are already finding copies at Best Buy), so you wouldn't need to anyway.

Alien Anthology is region free, yes. Basically it comes down to paying $95 for better packaging vs. $55 for the UK release.

What's up with the 'no credits' thing? Is it one of those "original Director's vision" deals?

Egbert Souse
Nov 6, 2008

I think the original 70mm "roadshow" version had credits entirely in printed form in a program book. The general release on 35mm had credits added.

Fantasia is one of the only other films to do this. The only title on its roadshow version was a slide projected onto the curtain during the intermission.

I've had Downfall from the UK in my collection for years, so I don't know why you're not seeing it.

DVDaf is not perfect - I find myself having to add a lot of new things myself. But once you learn the process it is very simple, and I prefer the general interface to the alternatives. But if the thought of adding your own entries to the database now and then is completely unattractive, then yeah I guess it's not for you.

To tell you the truth, I didn't realize the region selection on search reset every time you visit DVDaf. Now I can actually find it and add Downfall. The gently caress.

Secondly, I've tried adding Proposition, and for some reason, when I hit submit, it denoted the entry as being... withdrawn. What the hell? I'm not spending another 20-30 minutes doing all that poo poo.

from a poster on blu-ray.com forums, for those like me who are interested:

quote:


As some of you may already know from a few previous posts I have made, I bought the full disclosure edition of Apocalypse Now this morning and when I got home and opened it, there was no 48 page booklet inside.

I returned it to future shop immediately and demanded a refund. They said that there is a shipping error with the booklets, and there is a notice in front of the store saying that they will be getting the booklets on Monday and I can pick it up then.

I said I am not making multiple trips to the store just for a booklet that possibly is going to be covered in french by the time it arrives (that would explain the delay), and that I want a refund. She gave me the refund in the end, but not without hassle.

I feel bad for all the people that bought this today, because there are tons of stores that dont have this shipping error notice up in their front window. Best buy for instance had no such information available, and their versions were locked up in plastic cases so you cant even feel the weight of the packaging.

It appears that this isnt a future shop only error, as every store I visited today didnt have the booklet inside. I could tell from the weight of the packaging, they felt rather light for something that should have a 48 page booklet inside. And also it seems like there is just a little bit of extra space inside the slip cover, where a booklet should fit.

Well, another week, another Canadian release that got ****ed up. Possibly due to french re-packaging. I would put my money on that booklet being smeared in french come Monday.

The only differences are the packaging (the 3-disc comes in a DVD-sized fold-out digipak, the 2-disc comes in a regular blue keepcase) and the inclusion of the 48 page booklet and Hearts of Darkness (in full 1080p). Up to you to decide whether that's worth the extra $20 or so, but to me, owning HoD in HD is invaluable.

Apocalypse Now has bumped Patton down to my second favorite BD. It took me a long time to make the switch from DVD but I'm so happy I did. It really is worth it. It's been fun giving away all my DVDs that have been replaced as well.
