Actually, I was trying to make a craftily concealed point about imported DVDs. I failed. Here, open my wrists.

No, but it really depends from title to title. Some are Region 0, and those are likely not legit. OTOH, these tend to be a LOT cheaper and occasionally some of them are of excellent quality. But go poke around the internet and you might find one or two sites dedicated to reviewing such things. One. Or two.

Of course, you'd be buying illegal stuff. And possibly financing the Chinese mafia, or puppy killers, or Charles...
-------------------- Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

That's funny, in a japanese Yakuza-movie I saw last year on the Stockholm Movie Festival, a yakuza agent flipped out, became convinced that a bystander's puppy was employed by the Triad to spy on them and proceeded to beat it to death.
It was a very surreal movie.

Do you do anything apart from write vaguely related comments all in capitals?

Blond hookers? Oh I'm afraid they're illegal nowadays. People simply didn't get any work done.
But in last November's SMF there was "Kill Bill". France, Germany and Japan (aforementioned) provided some really sick shit. Right up my alley. Meow.
Got word from my hermano in Siam, he hadn't caught the uncut "Kill Bill" DVD yet but he did see tiger cubs. Big, phluphy paws.

I don't know about that (you're way smarter than me sir) but they did seem to appreciate the ghoti. Brother said they meow-roared when seeing it brought in, like only cubs can do.

Well, I took a gamble, and won off eBay an import set of TNG season one. It arrived today, and I threw in one of the discs. The quality looks very good, and the menu looks (pretty much) identical to my season 7 TNG set. I'm betting on a rip, but the quality is good, there are no Asian subtitles on the screen. My only complaint is all the DVDs have an individual plastic baggy, and not any sort of storage system like with any other DVD box set you can buy ...
... anyway, for $20, it's worth it, and a lot cheaper then buying the R1 version.
