I always prefer to grab the Thai disc for a Thai film whenever I can.<br /><br />This probably wont be a rush to sub all old films, but I'm thinking that any reissues of an older film that has already been released subbed elsewhere will get them as there's nothing to lose by not including them on a new disc.<br /><br />However... I see plenty of older Thai films popping up in newer Malay releases that are now getting subs, even some rather goofy stinkers, so who knows?<br /><br />Either way, thanks for the heads up... it gives me the excuse to pick up some stuff from ethai that I've been waffling on.Nekonekohttp://delirium-vault.com/nekoneko/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3762681276595673682.post-7147234348459575912010-03-20T15:45:19.630+07:002010-03-20T15:45:19.630+07:00Darn it.

But <a href="http://www.ethaicd.com/show.php?pid=51567&asso=8278" rel="nofollow">there it is</a>.<br /><br />I don't have any way of verifying the formatting on the disc. I'm still using a regular TV. Need to upgrade for the sake of doing things like this.<br /><br />The box says "Letter box" and "4.3 Transfer Digital Source". Which I think is a fancy way of saying it's just letterboxed.<br /><br />If you're a fan, I'd say pick it up anyway for the special features. Maybe add it to your cart when you're ordering something else.Wise Kwaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00462741207572023832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3762681276595673682.post-31779839094353732322010-03-19T17:14:53.695+07:002010-03-19T17:14:53.695+07:00I noticed this on eThaiCD.com a few weeks ago actu...I noticed this on eThaiCD.com a few weeks ago actually. Despite the low price, I'm a little hesitant to repurchase it. Do you have it and can confirm that the image of the movie has been enhanced for widescreen TVs? Or is it still just letterboxed?<br /><br />Actually, I finally got the chance to show somebody else the Taiwanese DVD of "Fan Chan" last week. She thought it was a great movie.Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14678690874559453426noreply@blogger.com
