After all, chinese are one of the most spoken language in this world...
how many people can afford to buy dvd in china? think about that and also they are capable of producing imitations of everything so be sure that they add chinese subtitle to their bootleg dvds.

Actually, quite a few people can afford dvds in China. You will be surprised. Also, not every dvd that comes out of Asia (China) is a boot. Implying it even unintentionally is a form of ignorance.

Now, can we go back to the original topic of this thread This one I enjoy A LOT!!:

Two of the French forums and the Danish forum have similar threads...so for those that dont speak/understand the languages I thought I'd post a few additions....most of the products you see are either French/Euro editions OR a few R3 (Korea) and R2 (Japan) discs as well...

so...let's add a few more this morning shall we.......


The Last Emperor SLE- Benelux


The Sherlock Holmes collection





The Lord of the Rings -- Limited Edition Box Set [1978]



Borg Mega Cube: Star Trek The Next Generation: Seasons 1-7 - Limited Edition







The JACK RYAN TRILOGY



French SLE The Pianist

I haven't seen the pictures of the other Sen to Chihiro/Spirited Away Special Edition here, only the diorama, so here goes, the Japanese Sen to Chihiro DVD-player (the dvd itself is in the Ghibli part of my shelves):

And while on cool-looking Ghibli releases, the Japanese Laputa set on top right, robot figure between the Nausicaa items (also hbb book and two soundtrack cds) is cool:

And the Korean Cowboy Bebop The Movie (with sketch-book and filmstrip) is quite nice:

The Korean Lunch Box Set for the Cowboy Bebop series is even cooler, but I had it cancelled on me. Twice

The full remote is the ugly green and blue plastic-y thing, while the acorn is of course only with the basic functions, for kids. And there is an intendation(?) on top of the player where the acorn remote fits. The player is R2 NTSC only.

Oh, and as for the french release of Once Upon A Time In The West, I'm sure you've seen the German LE-set in a wooden box, with harmonica. I'd have bought it in a second if the title in German wasn't so ......

What is Agents Secrets about? I can't find any English synopsis on it, but I love Cassel / Bellucci. Is it coming to the States?

Just remembered this one.

Le Roi Et L'Oiseau

http://www.dvdpascher.net/bestof/sea...?dvd_ref=10052

Although there are no english subtitles..dialogue is very minimal much like Les Triplettes De Belleville and is very easy to follow.

Also a review here for anyone who may want to pick it up or indeed the Standard edition.

Just back from Italy

Planned to go to theaters this wednesday... too much films to see... just don't know yet which one I will miss -_-...

And for the question, i haven't see Agents Secrets yet...


For the plot...
As much as i can found : 4 secrets agents have been sent to the Maroc for a sabotage mission. They have an efficient help from a mysterious guy named Tony. As far as the mission goes, everything went fine... but...

Sorry, nothing more...


As for Le Roi et L'oiseau set, i owned this one and i'm very happy with it

That Korean lunch box is cool, but it's pretty much gone everywhere you look. There was a big sale on that set a few months ago, which is when I got mine, so I suspect that all of them flew away at the same time. I really hope you can find a set somewhere.
