Movie industry needs to get a life
I know it’s not necessarily news every time I write a column, but as Gavin Baker at our UFlorida chapter likes to say, “If you don’t blog it, it didn’t happen!” So check out my latest article, Movie industry too strict on DVD imports, and learn how a simple martials arts movie club has difficulties with copyrights.
UPDATE: An e-mail from Tom in Madison, WI, reads:
I just read your article from a link on kungfucinema.com (the best website on martial arts film genre). Check out this [Wired News article, Film Fans Befuddled by Copyright….]
It sounds like you’re talking about a different issue than the above article, but I thought you might find it interesting anyway.
If you want to get your hands on the uncut, unedited version of the masterpiece “Fist of Legend”, go to kungfumovies.net. Search by Jet Li, then select “Fist of Legend” (DVD) (Chinese). That’s the one. Its all code (0) NTSC, original language track (Jet Li’s voice), perfect picture. The menus are in Chinese, though.
