Isn't the geek market Star Wars territory?

No, I don't mean that as a bad thing...
It seems that a major company is finally realizing the strength of geekiness. They put out the Final Fantasy movie last year, they just put out Metropolis in theatres and on DVD (and the theatrical showing was SUBTITLED, no less), Spider-man is getting closer and closer, and they're releasing the Bebop movie this summer.
Though it's not a majority of what they release percentage-wise, it's nice to see a company taking interest in getting such things out to a wider audience. Obviously, something with a Sony-owned label on it will reach far more people than relative small fries like ADV, Bandai, et al.
Anyway, if you have time, drop them an e-mail telling them how much you appreciate their contribution to a market that is usually overlooked by the other major studios.

Not too mention all the uncut HK films they have released in their original languages I might add. Also Shiri an amazing Korean film and a bunch of other great foreign films...Originally posted by Bacon McShig

It's nice to see a company do right where Miramax has done so much wrong when it come to HK films...

The only thing I hate more than the word geek is the made-up term of "geeking".

I've noticed Columbia/Tristar releasing more obscure items lately too. I'm glad.
Take Shiri for example, I just picked that up the other day and it's wonderful.
I didn't know they were releasing Bebop in theatres. Presumably a limited run correct?

Well there is an offical HK DVD release of Fist of Legend, uncut and in cantonese and mandarin. As far as DM2--they finally released an official HK version, but it's region 3, so it won't play in U.S. DVD players. I also know there's a region free DVD version floating around ebay, but I don't know what the quality is like.Originally posted by Green
