I'll try to watch again,too,Syl. You've got my curiosity up now.

That's not a bad thought, Frances. Kind of rings a bell. I haven't had time to watch the DVD, so my memory goes back to seeing the movie in the movie the movie theater which was months ago.

Hi everyone!
Got a copy of the TV set in mail on friday. Exrental copy dirt cheap (3 pounds) from Amazon UK. In good condition.
My daughter and i watched it on saturday. Ioan was gorgeous as ever. Add in the 2-3 day growth look and need I say more?
:cold shower 1
Even my 16 year old daughter (who announced last weekend that she was going to marry Hayden Christensen of star wars ) :wink: commented on how gorgeous he looked and especially in those expensive suits!
On a serious note, I thought his character stands out as the only sane and human one in the whole sordid story!! You wonder if his character Richard will stay.
Interesting story. Written by 2 guys who have been in the TV business for a while and had their pilots cut. Also an experience Ioan has been through twice so no wonder he was attracted to the script.
Humor to me was very satirical. Honestly, a show called "slut wars"!! Made a mockery of TV in America that's for sure. It was border line do you laugh or not?
See in Australia we are lucky. There is ratings season but generally in terms of which American shows make it out here or not is all about the networks sitting back to see which ones are huge hits in the states and then buying the rights.
Well that's my thoughts anyway. Susie D

Susie, funny to come across your comments right now. I was just listening to the commentary on the movie. *****POSSIBLE SPOILER***** When they speak about that 2-3 day beard growth. They comment on trying to make Ioan look discheveled and how impossible that is to do.
The Slut Wars - I remember laughing very hard at the theater, because even though reality shows are not quite that bad; there is the impression that if it made money, any network would jump on doing a show like that. At the end of the commentary, Jake Kasden talks about where the idea came from and why he decided to actually show a scene from the show.

LOL!
Discheveled? Nah, not at all! I could think of other words to describe "his look"!! :wink:
Mmm............need to watch the director's commentary next.

Disheveled. Ooops. Sorry. I knew that didn't look right, but was too lazy to look it up. Needless to say, he usually looks great even when he's disheveled and in this he looks tremendous the whole way through.
Yes, I think listening to the commentary can be very revealing. I listened to the first one, but haven't listed to the Jake and Judd commentary yet. Hope to do that soon. David Duchovny was interesting to listen to also.

Suzi, or Kaitlyn, what region are Australian DVDs? As you got yours from Amazon .co.uk, Suzi, is there hope for a Region 2 version? (Okay, now I'm sounding desperate - that's because I am desperate to see this movie!)

Australian DVD's are R4. It looks the UK Amazon is selling R1 copies.

Stevie, yes Aus. is region 4 but I have a multiregion player.
Even though I purchased from Amazon UK my DVD came from an American supplier "Mojosounds- Chula Vista". So go to Amazzon UK and check the region out before giving up!
Cost was (and I kid you not!!) 2.91 pounds. The shipping cost me more!

I know the feeling Stevie, I know the feeling!

I remember seeing this. *****SPOILER ALERT****I liked the car scene too when Lennie was talking about the near death experience. Lenny said," "s*** was flying everywhere!". And Ioan was like "oh dear!" or something like that and I just cracked up. Ioan really looked like he believed that she had a soul and had learned something important from this ordeal (which of course she hadn't). I liked the Lennie character for some reason.

I was over the moon for a few seconds, when I saw that Amazon.com has the TV Set available for download. Then I realised it was only in US, where you can buy the DVD anyway - where's the sense in that??????
Frances- 01-19-2008
I was about to say that downloading the movie is cheaper than buying the DVD, but then I checked and discovered that there is not much difference in price between downloading the movie and buying the DVD... less than 3 US$ (considering the shipping fee)... It can even be cheaper to buy the DVD, if buy a used copy...

I do hope they get smart and put this DVD out for your region.
