Chelsea.tone It would be handy if you would indicate in the thread title and text if these are US or UK releases...

Not all of us have US machines!

I presume MIB is a US release, region coding presently unknown??

This was the very first film I got in widescreen on VHS and I must have watched it 30 times.

Come on postie

ARNOLD AKIEN · 06-06-2008, 7:46 PM

My copy is .... " Men In Black [Blu-ray] Awaiting Stock Pick

We will despatch this to you on or before 16/06/2008. Est: 16/06/2008 1 1 £12.33 "

from Asda.

Whoopee! I had always hoped/Expected that there would be a Third film to balance the Trilogy but - apart from the Animated series - it was Not.. Is Not, Has Not? - To Be.

Got mine this morning - just had a quick skim through it. Looks very nice.

Awful sticker on the slipcase though promoting Hancock, a real pain to get off.

Indiana Jones · 07-06-2008, 10:42 AM

Got mine through this morning too, managed to get both stickers off the slipcase without ripping it but plenty of nasty glue residue left, any idea how to get that off?

Take the sticker you have removed or some sellotape and keep pressing in gently against the residue and pulling it off - works for me.

Yeah I had to do this too, works wells. Someone wasn't thinking when deciding to put those on without putting a wrapper over it first

scottsweapon · 09-06-2008, 1:47 PM

I take it the BD Live content isn't actually accessible until the official release date? I can't get mine to work yet!

So when you guys go the extra features section and scroll down to BDLive, what happens when you click it?

valmont74 · 10-07-2008, 1:59 PM

Any word if this is cut (as the previous DVD releases)? I read that the BBFC did something to the dialogue...

HairyHoff · 10-07-2008, 3:46 PM

This movie and Bluray transfer rules! Tommy Lee Jones should be cheesed off as blu ray shows every gaping chasm in his face. Didn't notice any cuts unlike the hack job Sony did to Welcome to the Jungle!

I did some research. According to dvdcompare.net it's a minor dialogue replacement

Quote:

United Kingdom - (Columbia Tristar Home Entertainment) - The BBFC have overdubbed 2 aggresive uses of the word "prick" by the lesser cusse of "jerk". The offending lines of dialogure are "You insensitive prick" and "I just hope the little prick hasn't skipped town".

So it's no deal breaker for me. But I'm still curious if the BD is the "prick" or "jerk" version

Anyone?

The US Version is uncut as thats the copy I imported. No Idea on the UK BD release though but I'll bet it's still dubbed over.
