: on the last board - Silent Bobs speech bubble said "Why oh Why do's England get so shafted when it comes to Kevin Smith film's. Over here we have only got standared Dogma and nothing else on DVD is there a reason we don't get anything good from the master of film. Or is it just that England sucks."
Okay 1) The US currently only has a bare bones Dogma disc too, 2) If you haven't got the patience to wait for the other films to get released buy a chipped player like so many others who have gone before you, 3) bitching about it on this board is not going to help you - View Askew have no sway when it comes to releasing their films in the States and they have even less control in how their films are released in a foreign territory.... which, my friend, is us!!!
I'm actually getting sick of Brits bitching and moaning on this board. Yes we get films later than the States but they are American films and it shouldn't really come as any great surprise because it's the way it's always been. And as for merchandise most of the stuff can be ordered through your local comic shop... and if you're not into comics and don't feel comfortable talking to the socially inadequate shop-staff... well then that's your problem and not View Askew's. You can even order the stuff (usually signed) direct from Kev himself... what more do you want. You have to make the effort... all of the stuff is there if a) you can afford it and b) if you make the effort to get it.
That's all!!!
