Saw this over the weekend and thought it was great. What a crazy movie!

OldBoy

anyone know of a nice other region, easily imported, preferably Amazon something country, with a bountiful of extras?

Why So Blu?

No. Amazon France has it and I think Amazon Germany, but they are not English friendly. No English subtitles at all. It hits Blu-ray stateside next month - the digital even sooner. FYI

Go to this site. If you don't see a Korean BD here, it doesn't exist.

There is a Hong Kong version, but it's very expensive at $28.

If you really want a physical media copy of Parasite, I would just get the Universal version. I wouldn't count on a Western friendly disc from Asia with lots and lots of bonus features. Even if a Korean version does come out, it would probably have no subtitles in the extras.

Yeah, dddhouse has the HK version listed for the 24th for $22

There's a UHD version coming from a German company in February - but there's no confirmation of English subtitles.

Thanks guys. I’ll probably get the US blu, even though paltry extras, but do have access to an HD copy now so may give a go this weekend. Still get the blu and dc...

Approaching 22 million dollars in the U.S. after this weekend. Very good for a foreign film.

Can't wait to buy it.

OldBoy

Ordered German UE. Just hope it’s English friendly...

Why So Blu?

Subtitles are only in German, therefore, not English friendly.

OldBoy

Yeah was just gonna post. That’s bs. Would love those extras. Oh well...
Shit, does that mean my German copy of Little Vampires will be same? I could’ve sworn I read about it and ordered. I would have noticed only German subs. This could be bad.

OldBoy

how exactly do you know if there are no English subs and are the German burned in?

Why So Blu?

I don't know that they're not burned in/forced subs. But the listing you posted and even the amazon DE preorder page say subtitles are in German. If there were more subtitles it would have been listed.

OldBoy

that blows.

OldBoy

So Blu, you’re positive there will be no English subs? I so want this...

Why So Blu?

I'm not positive but it's the general consensus from sources out there that it will not have English subs. I think it's the studio that's releasing it there in Germany that is known to not be English friendly with their releases. I'm just gonna get the BD stateside, so no sweat from me.

OldBoy

ok. thanks. me too. hopefully Criterion or somebody will pick this up and port those extras on German...

OldBoy

Even Snowpiercer, which didn’t make that much of an impression first time, but have in queue to see again, has a full second Blu-ray of extras. I mean this could win Best Oscar Foreign Film...

Finisher

Should honestly be favorite for Best Picture.

OldBoy

I heard that as well...

If only AMC would show these films on one of the 28 screens AMC has in little podunk Springfield. Even the little old shitty theater doesn't run "art house" stuff ... just 8 more screens of blockbusters for no good reason.

Just a few of the things I missed this year -- thank you AMC ...

Parasite
Jo Jo Rabbit
One Cut of the Dead
The Dead Don't Die (played for one week at 10pm)

OldBoy

Well, most are or will be available to stream very soon. Just got One Cut...

Throwing Copper

Hoping OldBoy orders that German disc so we can solve the English subtitles mystery. 😂

I watched this movie early in the week and I liked it. The difficulty for me was finding a likable character in the movie. The title of the movie is aptly named.

Please don't encourage him.

Enjoyed this, would make a great double feature with Joker.
