possible an affordable dvd of this movie?


has anyone ever heard of Sasquatch Video? or ordered anything from them? It looks pretty legit but i can quite tell, especially because they are only charging 20 bucks instead of some ludicrous amount like everywhere else. heres the link to the site: http://openmikecafe.mybisi.com. Any help is greatly appreciated! thanks!

Dunno about Sasquatch but I did get a better edition of The Pianist from a Canadian online store that I think has long since gone out of biz. Looks like Amazon only has TCTTHWAHL from indie sellers & the lowest price is over $50, so you should prob go w/Sasq. I got it yrs ago at Media Play for about $20 but I really want to see it come out in blu-ray.

I do not know anything about Sasquatch.

I took a chance on this eBayer:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250670554568&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

I figured that for $12, I could take a chance, and his reviews were positive. His negative reviews were that he's not a good communicator, and his deliveries take a long time. The latter part makes sense, as this is based in South Korea.

So, why not take a shot, I figured. I was pleasantly surprised. It is a Korean DVD, but it has English audio, and you can play English subtitles (which is a blessing for those who speak American English).

The one problem I have with this DVD is that frontal nudity is apparently not allowed in South Korea. The breasts are still there, but the crotch shots are blurred, which can be distracting. You'll be happy to know (or not happy, depending on your tastes) that the final crotch scene is NOT blurred out. If it had, I would declared this version worthless. As it is, I can deal with the few blurred moments.

Of course, my testimony might not mean much, since I could be a plant for all you know. And I can't guarantee that your relationship with the seller will be as productive as mine. But, it's a good alternative to spending $70+ to buy from a collector.

I recently bought it for £4 including postage from amazon.co.uk

The Region 1 version is out of print and, as a result, quite costly. If you have a multi-region player though, the Region 2 version is affordable and available on Amazon or eBay.
