I'm from New Brunswick, but I live in Ontario (since 1998), as it says in that info below my avatar. Heh heh. :)

You?

I hadn't noticed that. :lol: But Ontario is pretty big. Do you live in a small town? I figure you don't live in Ottawa because we've got at least two Best Buy's, that I know of anyways, and Toronto's got to have a few as well.

On the cheap £3 each - Borat and The Simpsons Movie!

But to be fair, I prefer the cut version of the Simpsons.

Gotta love HDDVD for the prices at the mo they really are seriously cheap 8)

if you look on ebay you can get a brand new Xbox 360 HDDVD Drive for £20 which you can plug straight into your PC/HTPC for HD playback.

I doubt you have watched it yet FM, but is that Ultimate Watchmen worth getting?
I already have all the "individual pieces" ie: the DC bluray, The theatrical DVD, the motion comic DVD, the black freighter DVD.

I aint watched watched it yet mate. Not sure I'm the right person to ask really. I never heard of Watchmen before the film came out so I'm no expert on it. I mean I only finished reading it for the 1st time last night :) . When I saw it in the cinema I just thought "If I see that again I'd wanna watch a short or longer version", hence me getting the Ultimate Cut.

Didn't even know there were 2 versions. :lol: My DVD only has 1 sub title track so I don't think I'll be comparing the 2 anytime soon.

Doesn't the UK Region 2 DVD have the proper subs?

I watched it last week & I enjoyed it more than the theatrical version.

I cant see how the director could of been more respectful to the comic even if he tried. Obviously the majour difference is the end, but I actually think the movie ending is very well thought out & probably a more sensible way to end the film.

I also, changed my views on the performances as all the characters were more fleshed out in the version which I think helped everyone in the movie come across better.

The sex scene is still desperately embarrassing & if I could remove anything it would be that, but everything else I'm cool with. I thought the transitions between the film & cartoon were a bit clunky at times & the Newspaper Stand scenes looked like they were shot for a TV movie or something.

But on the whole I really liked the Ultimate Cut. I didn't come away thinking I was missing something like I did with the Theatrical Version. I also liked how it doesn't follow the typical action movie plot line, but that's obviously because of comic.

Like I said I'm not a Watchmen or comic book movie fan, but I did like this movie. It's not perfect but considering the source I think it's an honest attempt to bring the comic book to life.

Personnaly I would recommend The Ultimate Cut over the other versions out there.

No idea, didn't even know there were 2 versions. I haven't seen the flick in a while & haven't yet watched the DVD so I'll probably wont even noticed the difference.

so there is additional footage other than the black freighter (intro/outros of the newsstand) not found in the DC?

lol I just purchased my 3rd version of PAYBACK this week! :lol:

I previously owned the VHS (theatrical) and HDDVD (directors cut) versions.

I dont care for VHS anymore unless its the only way the film is available so thats out
The other night I went to play the HDDVD and learned that paramount HDDVD's no longer play since the NXE (xbox live) update was applied last fall as it has screwed up the HDCP handshake, so thats out.

so, I sold the HDDVD online and bought the bluray version (DC) as well as a DVD copy (theatrical)

Today I learned that the UK has a bluray that has BOTH cuts - so I just bought that :lol: :lol:

Talk about taking the long way home! at least I will have a far superior version IMO.
