Ahahaaa!... Go me.:D

In other news, my Alatriste DVD has arrived. Except it's unplayable. Yes, I knew it was gonna be 'region 2', and I didn't expect it to play on my laptop - but we tried my brother-in-law's computer on Thanksgiving (he has some super-duper software installed that supposedly plays all regions), and it didn't work either. In fact, it's probably a bootleg copy. The box says: "Edicion limitada - 2 discos", and there's only one disc inside, which looks slightly damaged; moreover, there is some Chinese (Korean?... Vietnamese?...) lettering on it next to the Spanish. WTF?... Looks like the guy I bought it from makes his money by selling multiple burned copies of the same original movie. I am SO going to report him to Amazon. Not that it will help me much, because I don't honestly care about his illegal business, or even about getting my money back (luckily, it wasn't my money - I used a bonus gift coupon from my workplace); I just want to FINALLY see this film, dammit!!! Is waiting two years for it not enough???... *seethes*

So... if anyone reading this happens to have it, and could possibly make me a copy... I would be in your debt forever. In fact, I would gladly pay you for your trouble. I don't mind if it's a copy made from a region 2 DVD; I SHOULD be able to watch it SOMEWHERE, as long as the disc is not damaged. I just don't want to order another one online and risk getting duped again. *sigh*

I only have a German copy so far. But I could order you one from Amazon.de - it has Spanish and German audio. Don't know about subtitles, but I'm sure I can find that out for you. It's this one: http://www.amazon.de/Alatriste-Viggo-Mortensen/dp/B000W6FOM6/ref=wl_it_dp?ie=UTF8&coliid=I3MIYV6I8YNMM1&colid=3EDB5VCTJRNR3

That would be great. Especially if it has English subtitles (I don't think the link mentions anything about that, but then my German is at a VERY basic level, so I could have missed it). Also, I don't think it includes another disc with the extras; that was probably only the original Spanish release (which I was SUPPOSED to get, instead of some bootleg crap :/). But anyway... I'll keep your offer in mind. I should probably try to find out first if Amazon can reimburse me for the useless DVD I purchased, though. If I can order another one from them without paying again, that's what I'm going to do. If not, I'll get back to you.

Thanks for responding! *hugs*

Well, if it's really some pirated DVD (and it looks like it from what you're describing) I'd say Amazon will definitely be interested in knowing about it since they want to keep their business clean. And hopefully you'll get your money back!

I'll stay on the lookout for English subtitles. I haven't found any info on that either so far.

Hey! I just checked the Amazon website and it appears the movie is now available in a brand new Latin American release - REGION ONE, with English subtitles!!! *does a crazy tribal dance of joy*

I sent them an email asking about refunds, but regardless of what they say, I am going to get the region 1 DVD sooner or later - so don't bother looking around for me anymore. I just wish I had waited a few more weeks, instead of ordering from that shady guy... but what is done, is done. I can only hope the Latin American seller is more reliable... *sigh*

Anyway... thanks again, and I look forward to discussing the movie with you some day, after I've FINALLY seen it.:D

Hi, Orli. How about a date? ;)

[akashaelfwitch.livejournal.com]

Would love to! Thought you'd never ask, Vig. *all smiles* Whatever shall we do? *pops the wine*

Snuggling up together on a nice cozy couch in front of a fireplace would be good for a start.:P
