Re: [F_minor] OT: Why has this movie been banned from theUSA?Whycan't Americans see & hear this movie?



32 Short Stories was never released on DVD Region 2 for Europe. But have we complained and moaned like Bob ? No, some of us still wait untill this day for a proper release or even re-release (when oh when ? ), the other half (people like me) asked their Gamer mates and got software which can be easily and most of all legally purchased from any vendor for the PS2 and Xbox that will allow you to play DVDs with a different region code.

I just saw an ad in the local paper for Die Zauberflöte at a local concert hall (Hallenstadion Zürich in April). I actually just might go, just to make Bob green with envy....

Make Bob Happy, give tha man a proper double-double, some valium and possibly a ticket to Stratford for the summer ;)

I wanna see it on a whomp-arse big theater movie screen. My town has kept
alive in loving restoration the gorgeous 19th century Academy of Music
(with private boxes and a balcony), great, with spectacular acoustics, for
live concerts as well as a perfect venue for movies.

This is my Right as an American. But thanks for the DVD tip.

US and Canadian residents can easily purchase this DVD from ebay.com or
amazon.fr -- search for "flute branagh". It is a Region 2 DVD, so to
play it in the US or Canada (i.e. Region 1) requires a region-free DVD
player, but those are also easily obtained. Many Region 1 DVD players
can be easily unlocked using a "secret" button or remote control sequence.


I suspect Bob already knows this, and is just venting at the the motion
picture production and distribution establishment, as well as DVD region
coding in general. :-)
