Oh sorry I just checked it, it was Carrie Fisher that died, not Harrison Ford. Quote: Also is it more JPOP? I should get into that sometime. Yeah. I'd recommend reading the Kayo Kyoku Plus blog followed by Youtube research before you start buying anything.

What a bunch of <expletives>. Yeah, looks like I'll just get DVDs.

Some googling suggests that some people think the butler was in the room out of frame, since he recalls Kane dropping the snow globe as well. There appears to be a rumour that Orson Wells acknowledged it as a continuity problem, but it doesn't seem well confirmed.

What a bunch of <expletives>. Yeah, looks like I'll just get DVDs. Seems like the first film is the only one to get a decent release, the UK blu has english subs and is in full HD, but appears to have slightly more muted colours compared to the US one but I don't know which one is accurate. No such luck with the sequel. forper wrote: If you can find a Hong Kong release by Fortune Star I've always thought their DVD transfers were the best, I've probably got 20 titles and they all look great PQ wise with clear proper subs. I've got the Fortune Star box set with both movies which is quite nice. It's only one (two?) of the three (four?) region 3 titles I own.

Braveheart (Well more correctly, I attempted to watch Braveheart) I just wasn't feeling like my copy was performing well, so having several (doesn't everyone by now?) I tried a couple others. Is this movie just not well lit?
