Thanks for doing the summary. I never really look at the DVD Calender, if it's not in my RSS feed, I generally don't see it, so this will solve that problem.
Yep, 20 December is most likely the release date. It's reported by X here too, and dvdfromkorea.com also lists it for that date. It's just that for the calendar I used December 30th because that's what it says on the YesAsia page, which the link goes to. They'll probably change it to the 20th soon.
I'm kind of miffed about the non-special edition release of Eraserhead.
I mean, it is awesome. My only complaint is that a month ago I bought the special edition. At that ridiculous price. For only a frickin' box.
I would've loved to get my hands on this newest release, skipping over the special edition, but fate has other things in mind, I guess . . .
I myself am really looking forward to the dvd release of the Japanese movie "Peep ‘tv' Show". Midnight Eye only has a Japanese release on their DVD checklist but I just found out the Facets Multimedia are releasing this underground movie too!
(DVD-DV86927 - NOT YET RELEASED: - Available on 02/27/2006)
I have seen this movie at the 2004 International Film Festival Rotterdam where it won the Fipresci prize and I thought it was great. But it didn't get a lot of media attention and the public opinion wasn't great either... I guess because it's a small depressing movie made with a lot of punk attitude. Some Twitch fans might like it very much though. And there is a lot more stuff coming from Facets as well: An Artaud documentary, a new Sokurov disc...lots of interesting stuff.
Facets puts out a lot of interesting films but unfortunately their transfers can pretty awful...I'm looking forward to End of August at the Hotel Ozone anyway, though
니기미... They pushed the Dongmakgol Limited again, this time to January 4. Screw that... I'm going for the normal one. Grrrr...
Wedding Campaign available for preorder thru Yesasia. Cost: $29.99. Release date given as 27th January. Nice shot of packaging on their site as well.
Sonatine Ultimate Limited Edition? I'd kill for a Sonatine ANY edition here in Canada
Any idea when Season 1 of "The Smurfs" will be out on DVD ?
Ken

food of the gods!!! yippee!!! i had the chance to see this a while back on amc or tnt monster vision or somewhere and i loved every single retarded minute of it....especially the slow motion rats eating the matchbox volkswagen.
welcome back GJ. nice work.
What's in the Godzilla box?
Fido just got pushed back to Nov. 6th (from Oct. 23) - Arrgh.
I have good but very late news for you Ken Meyer 2 years after your post here Season 1 of “The Smurfs” will be coming to dvd!!! season 1 volume 1 is scheduled for February! :p
"Presented in Full Frame with English Mono audio and optional English subtitles, extras include a bonus episode (The Smurfs’ Springtime Special) and Smurfs: The Music Video."
Here is the link to source.

Any specific details on that R1 Shaw Bros boxset?
English-friendly Korean release of Dororo on 12/27/2007!

R2 UK "Princess" has been delayed from 7 Jan to (according to amazon.co.uk's page) 25 Feb.
The Amazon.co.uk link for Princess still works for me, and it is still listed with a release date of February 25th. But it does say "we don't know when or if this item will be back in stock", so yes, it seems something is up at Tartan.
Apologies for the outdated info on the calendar btw, I've been lax with updating, I'll get on it asap.
Well I didn't follow my original link to it, but running a search for "Princess" I couldn't find the original page for it at all - unless I missed it somewhere.
Typhoon was a bloated over done Hollywoodish action thriller that was completely forgettable. The ones I'm looking forward to are M and Funky Forest.
Typhoon was a very good Action/Thriller, it was not what you would call great, but a very good action/thriller.
If you're in NYC, a certain spot on St Mark's already has the (r1)No Country for Old Men on the racks.
I wish TYPHOON was a little bit more forgettable, because I still can remember bits and pieces of it and it's pissing me off.
Well Princess just shipped from Amazon UK so I guess we'll see about that now.
Come Drink With Me finally coming out by the Weinsteins? We'll see.
nice, didn't know maiko haaaan!!! was getting an r1 release. great film - picking it up for sure. also that help me eros cover is pretty hot. i haven't seem lee kang sheng's other film he directed - assuming his style is similar to tsai ming liang?
Is the upcoming release of Blood Simple the same copy found in the Cohen Brothers box set? I also can't wait to check out the new R1 release of Tai-Chi Master. That's one of my favorite Jet Li flicks, and the Dragon Dynasty releases have been pretty solid, as far as R1/Weinsten stuff goes.
Also of note: David Mamet's "Redbelt" comes to dvd August 26.
i can wait. just.
thanks for the information.
An English-friendly version of Dai-Nipponjin? I'm there!
(and about time too...)
I'm going to blind buy LA ANTENA for sure.
Sorry to seem like I'm spamming this; there's just been a lot of relevant stuff released recently. Next up is what seems to be a [r1] release of "Azur & Asmar: The Princes' Quest" – http://www.amazon.com/Azur-Asmar-Princes-Sean-Barrett/dp/B001DJ7PY6 – on 11 November 2008. And the Kisarazu Cat's Eye movie on Amazon is http://www.amazon.com/Kisarazu-Cats-Eye-Junichi-Okada/dp/B000JU8H5G
