SELECTED POSTS

This page, NEWS & UPDATES which is actually the index page of this website has grown into a huge database of my almost daily ramblings of all stuff I hold dear to my heart, including gossips of the most sordid kind. For your convenience, I have posted a list of posts which I thought is pretty informative in my own way that you might find interesting. The list itself may be long but those selected few are the ones I thought drives home the point I wanted to make. Do check them out in MY POINT IS [Comments & Opinions].


SERIES' SUMMARIES

Sometime in 2004 I began reviewing selected series in an episode by episode way, where I called these reviews EPISODIC THOUGHTS. These thoughts are mostly summaries of each and every episode with my opinion of that episode included in it as well. I may not provide the most in depth summaries but I am very proud of the fact that I could keep the writing on such a long winded basis each and every night for the entirety of the series. I don't do this for each and every series though because it kills a lot of brain cells, mine as well as fellow netizens who often joined in the discussion by posting informative stuff. These thoughts are still open for feedback and discussion. Do check them all out in REVIEWS where it is indicated with an  [E] next to my name.

All About Eve DVD Box Set 
Permanent link Post a Comment

The 3 languages in one box set by Mpeg. I got it today, ordered online from coolwin-video.com. First of all, I was so dumb! Of all the places I checked I did not check Mega Mall Jusco video shop as they're selling the one and only VCD box set for RM99-00 plus 20% off as well so that makes it RM70-00 plus! Never mind since I already ordered the DVD version which was RM138-20 (plus RM5-00 for courier by Pos Laju). The discount was only 10% and frankly Sensasian.com is cheaper in this aspect but taking into account courier service (if by registered mail it's free) which is a flat RM5-00, I must say, coolwin-video.com is a better deal. Anyway, got the pink package. Slightly smaller than the VCD box set but like Sehseh said, it's cheapo looking. Inside even mroe cheapo because the discs are all stacked on top of one another, 5 discs in one side of the plastic case and another 5 in the other. Outside the awful pink colour box it says "Free Postcards whilst stock last" and well got two postcards, one Chae Rim and the other Jang Dong Gun but both as cheapo looking. The discs are suprisingly not so cheapo looking but some pics I suspect Mpeg took from Model, especially Han Jae Suk's pics since I can't remember him wearing specs in this series. ANYWAY, I was worried there might be scratches, tested some and well so far so good. Haven't watched all yet but from what i could observe...

1. The picture quality is surprisingly clear and better than the VCD I watched;
2. indeed you can choose between 3 languages (Malay, Chinese, English). The Malay one is like literal translation but not THAT bad. The English one is surprisingly better BUT the way it is translated like basic English but not THAT bad. I was ready for Model like quality but surprise surprise, not THAT bad if you're not picky. I mean I myself can do better.
3. Can choose between Korean or Mandarin which is great when you get fed up with the bad translation.
4. Now that scene selection is a hoax. What scene selection? Each DVD comes with 2 episodes (hence 10 discs) and the scene selection is between ep 1 and ep 2. I feel kinda cheated by this one.
5. Audio I think is ok but haven't heard all yet.

So really, it's not that a bad purchase. I like the on off features for the subtitles and a nice touch is the font is BIG and in white so you can read it clear which may be bad since you kinda see how bad it could be which really isn't. Only if Mpeg had paid more attention in packaging and the translation, this would be a very excellent purchase.

But I haven't tested all discs yet.

BUT I must say something about Coolwin-Video.com. I ordered the box set on Wednesday night, I paid by Maybank transfer on Thursday afternoon. I faxed the receipt to them via fax with a note that they must email or fax me confirmation of receiving my fax. They did, by email that very afternoon. Then it will take 2 days or so to get the tape by courier which may take 1 to 2 days.I figured I should get it by this week. I checked the website and until yesterday night, it was still "processing". And surprise surprise, I got the package today when I came home from work! So they must have sent it yesterday! And the package was tightly packaged under layers of those pop up plastic thingy which was great. I mean the person who sent this could give so much attention to packaging, why can't Mpeg show more care for their products?

And on all times whenever I write an email, they will reply in 1 min tops. When I couldn't fax, I called and it was promptly answered. I was very amazed by their level of efficiency and I must say shopping at coolwin-video.com is quite a good experience. A pity I can't find Chingu there if not I would have bought it as well.

Anyway, not a bad purchase but you never know when it comes to return of merchandise and refunding so I will cross my fingers.

So, coolwin is reliable? Okay then, i guess i'll order Full House (director's cut edition dvd) from them soon. Pricey, but still cheaper that yesasia. My sis will think i'm crazy to waste $$$ since i already owned the vcd version.

I only bought once from them. The thing is they're efficient, if it is listed as "IN STOCK". I am not sure abt those IN TRANSIT. You better check first!

By the way you can buy from Sensasian and you can request to collect the item from their office. Maybe that will cut the delivery price.

And yes I wonder too, why you want to many versions for what?
