So I finally broke down and shelled out some bucks for a non-region DVD player. Why - because I need movies like Day of the Beast. I also need to be able to have a use for things such as the whoop-ass region 2 Hellraiser Lament Configuration boxed set. I also hear that the Japanese version of the Friday the 13th boxed set is far superior to the American one.
But enough of that.
Is there a website out there that compares DVDs from all regions/countries and lets us know which one is the best? I’ve been brooding over this lately, because the Canadian version of Ginger Snaps non-discrimatorily kicks all kinds of tuckus (did that even make sense?) My mediocre version was cheaper, but damned if I wouldn’t have spent the extra $10 or so to get the special edition. Now I’ll probably buy it anyway, and every now and then point menacingly at my feeble not-so-special version (think the evil monkey in Chris Griffins closet style action)
Also, any input from non-region DVD-player fans or superior version buting advice would be welcome as well. Especially horror (which the Cap’n digs on a regular basis, especially when accompanied by a St. Paulie Girl and some of those Og-Forsaken Andy Capp French Fry abominations)
Thanks,
Cap’n GG BD (whom if ye cannot tell, has been hitting the flagon of grog tonight)
