I have low hopes I'll get to see this in cinemas in my neck of the woods, unfortunately. The fact that it is supposed to open next week, yet you still can't order tickets online for it (where everything else can be advance booked for), pretty much confirms my worst fears, that the poor US showing will mean that this gets a very limited Australian run, and that limitation always seems to miss my state entirely. Which always seems to happen with the few films that I'm most interesting in seeing.

Hope I'm wrong though, as I've been hanging out to see the film for what seems like forever now. Got a feeling that I'll be importing from the UK when it hits shiny disc though.

Oh, and just for the record, Takeshi Kitano's version of Zatoichi was superb.

why do other countries defer to yank tastes so much? there have been loads of films (someone broke down how well the golden compass did outside the states) that have done serious money despite the yanks not liking it. They have their tastes but why would they automatically translate to oz? is it a case of cultural cringe?

Im liking what I see but the art was always 70% of what i loved about 2000ad and imo we are nowhere near golden age standards in that regard

And all i wanted to say was i really liked prog 1804, the cover and the simping detective especially, and that grey skies reads like a prequel to warhammer 40,000. Its the shoulder pads on the soldiers

the usual daft question - how long before i can post in the review section?
