   Since Death Note had a theatrical release in HK, I presume there will be a subtitled cheapo dvd (thank God!)

   There isn’t It’s Only Talk (Ryuichi Hiroki) in this list!!!

   Ichigo no Kakera has english subtitles on at least one disc. They copy I watched was engsubbed (not fansubbed).

   youre right robix - i just went off and checked the specs (it came out end of august 06 on DVD in japan) and it says english subtitles :

   I don’t know if this is strictly appropriate, but any chance of adding the TV-bound parts of the Bayside Shakedown series to that list? I’ve been making do with fan subs of the original series, but I’d kill for a nice subbed boxset of it and the 5 or so TV movies that followed.

   Linda Linda Linda is the most vexing for me, since it is playing at festivals with English subs. There has to be interest here for it, with the guy from Smashing Pumpkins responsible for the soundtrack.

   Also from the director of Calamari wrestler, is Kabuto-Ô Bîtoru

   Also Yam Yasothon and Ghost Variety both staring Petchtai Wongkamlao need subtitled releases.

   “There isn’t It’s Only Talk (Ryuichi Hiroki) in this list!!!”

   The japanese title is “Yawarakai Seikatsu”.

   I’ve found like 4 articles here on twitch about this movie. It’s really strange that it doesn’t appear in the list…

   For me, Yawarakai Seikatsu is simply an absolute masterpiece of modern cinema.

   well, mictian, this list was drawn up by me over many hours. it was posted in the moderators area of the forum for others to input on, and everyones welcome to input and add others they think are of interest here. not logical though, to wonder why one film is on the list versus why one isnt - there are 4300+ posts at this point on twitch, theyre not easy to go through, not easy to pick from (because nobody will have seen even a large percentage of them, potentially) and its never going to be more than one (or several) peoples opinions taken from an overall sense of whats been covered and what stodd out from it all.

    Maybe I don’t read the forum.

    Maybe I only wanted to give my contribute.

    Maybe.

11. logboy 09/13/2006 @ 11:30am

    matician - the moderators area of the forum is for contributors only. if you only want to give your opinion, in terms of adding to the list and saying something good about a film, fine. if you want to criticise the work and individuality that went into the list, think again.

    Su-ki-da is missing, just saying . I believe there are EN subs available. Even seen it on a banner here I think.

    “if you only want to give your opinion, in terms of adding to the list and saying something good about a film, fine.”

    That is exactly what I’ve done.

    “ It’s really strange that it doesn’t appear in the list...”

    But, if this for you means to “criticise the work and individuality that went into the list” I can’t do nothing, only laugh, “maybe”.

    Ok, love you.

    Love Twitch.

    Quit being a fucking bellend mictian

15. Esh 09/13/2006 @ 3:19pm

    I’m pretty sure logboy was being the ‘bellend’ for overreacting at someone pointing out a film wasn’t there.

16. logboy 09/14/2006 @ 1:30am

    very amusing. there was no ‘over reaction’ there, because it was a clear, sober, simple, true observation i have no qualms or pains to make. add suggestions, question ideas, dont criticise individuality. easy as that.

    Keep this topic at the top, awesome post by logboy.

    let’s hope your wrong on many of them, you would think most of the

    movies would appear sometime with English sub-titles. If they’re

    Japanese or Korean movies no doubt you would think with the massive market and interest especially in horror from the above, it would be automatic. I remember when Re-Cycle first appeared on dvd from it’s native country it took just on 2-3 months for an English sub-title, and the way i look at it i guess this is more on hope, no doubt when they arrive as all movies will on dvd it’s just a matter of patience, as with your list above i am screaming

    for “Colic”, “God’s Left Hand Devils Right Hand”, Death Note 1&2;"Norikas Dinner Table” “Silk” at least it’s due by the 1st of December “The Host” that one i am also hanging out bad too. Would

    anyone know when the Thai horror “Scared” will be available with

    sub-titles?
