Anyone from Indonesia seen this horror film called something like Jelangkung? I've heard raves about it but can't find anywhere to buy it.

You said "original DVD's" does that mean they have lots of pirated or bootlegged stuff?

Just curious, I'm knot from either place, but I am seriously thinking of going to Singapore in September. (Anybody whose from there or knows about it that has free time, feel free to e-mail me any tips about it )

saya dari Malaysia, tapi sekerang di Canada :-)
I was originally from Malaysia, but am now a Canadian....

I guess you want to know if there's anyone here that is currently living in Singapore/Malaysia that buys original DVD....
Last time I visited Malaysia, all I saw were bootleg PC software and DVDs in nice retail stores in shopping centers!

They do sell originals there, but the market is prabably small :-(

It's hard to say, but with the weak economy and low wages in Asia, I may be buying bootlegs too if I was living there...

I got Jelangkung during my trip to Indonesia last month. It's an awesome movie. It's only in Indonesian though with no subtitles.

Di Indonesia semua Plasma TV yang dijual itu sudah pasti Widescreen dan HDTV... Saya beli saya punya merek Panasonic tahun 2001 lalu seharga US$5'500 di Glodok.

Tetapi jangan lupa bahwa sampai hari ini belum ada (atau belum dipasarkan) HD-DVD yang dapat menggunakan fungsi HDTV.

Di Indonesia segala macem barang bisa dibeli yang penting anda sanggup membelinya saja...
