Trainspotting & Erin Brockovich; April 23 in Japan from SPE - Blu-ray Forum

danielpwnz · 02-01-2008, 06:11 PM

They seemed to have designed that Trainspotting cover with importers in mind. There's barely any indication that it's a Japanese release at all.

Not that I mind, really...as long as it doesn't have forced Japanese subtitles, I'm game.

That's pretty typical for a Japanese BD or DVD. Just the title transliterated in Japanese below the original title.

I've got quite a few Japanese BDs of US/foreign movies, and none of them have forced subtitles. I don't think there's been reports of any Japanese BDs having them, either.

Hope that the Japan release is free of EE.

I <3 Trainspotting. Great movie.

I'll import if they don't release it eventually.

Sony has never put strong EE on any of their Blu-ray titles. I don't see why they'd start now.

Buddy. Why do you always take my comments in a -ve sense. The HD DVD version of Erin Brok had noticeable EE in many scenes. So just wanted to mention that the Japan release by SPE should't be slapped with unwanted EE.

I want Trainspotting

I dunno, maybe because you're always being so negative?

So? Sony has never used an HD DVD encode on any of their releases either.

One thing I forgot to mention: It's still technically illegal in Japan to show adult genitals in entertainment, so Ewan McGregor's penis might be mosaiced out. Not that I'm complaining particularly, I just wanted to mention it for those that might have a problem with it.
