Re: David Lynch Foreign Releases
every review even if you dont agree with the way they present it, brings something to the table.
And after having just read the review, It didnt read as sycophantic at all.
And he even says
I'll warn you right now; this isn't a box set to test the Lynchian waters....this is strictly for fans of David's work
true he doesnt delve to much into the technical aspects of the P&Q but that doesnt mean the review doesnt offer the reader some good reasons to consider buying this set.

That wasn't a "review" per se. It's just some schmoe posting about the neat thing he bought. It should be taken with a grain of salt, just like any other user feedback. Some of these people will be knowledgeable, and others will not. This one did not strike me as knowledgeable. YMMV.

Re: David Lynch Foreign Releases
I'll get Eraserhead, Wild at Heart, Twin Peaks and Lost Highway if these are region-free.
Or, once my lazy ass gets a region-free player, I'll just get them anyway.

Why? I thought the DVD he supervised looked fine. I'd rather have him in control than whichever DNR-happy folks have been muddying most of Universal's catalog releases.

Re: David Lynch Foreign Releases
I'm sure he's planning to do his own work on most of these titles, but at the rate he works I suspect it'll be a long ways off. I hope his version of Eraserhead comes out this year or next, though. I'd hold off if he gave any indication.

I have the German BD of Eraserhead and it does look nice. I spent most of the time watching the textures and other things I could never see before. It also includes a PAL version of the documentary on the Eraserhead DVD.

(Click for larger):
Spoiler:
Up for pre-order at Amazon UK. Strangely enough, when I preordered this, the total price was just under 44 pounds, even though the pre-s&h price is 48 pounds and change.
Anyways, kind of torn on this box; bring on Fire Walk with Me, Lost Highway and Dune, but I already have Blue Velvet, thought that, despite the visuals, sound and atmosphere, Eraserhead was a bit of a slog to get through and can take or leave Wild at Heart (it does contain some of Lynch's best scenes, but it so relentlessly wallows in ugliness, which kind of overshadow the highlights for me).
I'm curious to give Eraserhead and Wild another spin, but I'll wait for reviews before I make a final decision. On the other hand, it comes out on June 4th, so maybe I'll just consider it an early bday present to myself.

Re: David Lynch Foreign Releases
I'm guessing you're ordering to an address outside the UK. When you order from Amazon UK to a non-UK address, the VAT (Value-Added Tax, which applies only to UK citizens) is subtracted from your order total- it's fairly substantial.

Re: David Lynch Foreign Releases
Though I am curious why Universal didn't throw in Mulholland Drive since they distributed it in theaters and on home video (at least in the US, not sure who holds the UK rights)--plus I think the Studio Canal/Optimum version is OOP, or going that way (I think--think--I managed to snag a copy of that from HMV, but I ordered it over a month ago and the order status is changing ever so slowly...).
