What the Folk!

Awesome story H. I can't watch the whole vid now but it looks like Rhys has a new hairdo and he may have slimmed down a bit.

That's an awesome story, H! *jealous*

I've won Rhys Darby's Live: Imagine That! DVD on eBay and can't wait to watch it. Got a pretty good deal, too.

What did you think, those who've seen it? From all I've gathered, he's brilliant.

You've probably seen this but it's just so silly it really made me laugh so I had to share:

Congrats, Laura!

I haven't seen the dub video dub, but I saw his act last fall, and I roared! He's wonderful as Murray on the FoTC show, but his standup is so different and so hilarious as well!
Enjoy!

I enjoyed it

It is very different from Murray though. He does like his sound effects and stuff.

Is it region 2? I didn't think there was an R1 of that DVD. Just checking to make sure you can play R2 if it is

Sherry, I never even thought of that.

I'm hoping I can watch it....it's coming from someone in CA and they said they've watched it once. I'll let you know. *fingers crossed*

Well, you nailed it Sherry!

He sent it wrapped in the original bubble-bag with the partially torn off his shipping label and I could see it had come from Australia, so I thought "uh-oh."

Sure enough, for the first time ever our DVD player said "Cannot play disc: Wrong Region."

But he was very nice, said he thought he'd put in the auction that it was a region 2 (he hadn't) and he offered me a full refund incl shipping.

I've checked around and there are Region 1's out there, I just need to find one and a non-ridiculous price.

Hmmm region 4 is Australia and NZ

I don't think there is a R1 one out there tbh as I recall Rhys or Rosie saying something about there wasn't a distribution deal in place.

So be wary of anyone claiming to have a R1 DVD of that. Just in case.

It might be worth getting it converted. Or perhaps watching on your computer (if you are able, might require a few things tweaking if not already able to)

I was studying the back of the DVD and it has the NTSC globe on it and the regions 2, 3, 4 and 5 around it. I've learned a lot about the different regions now, thanks to this. I had thought there were only 1 and 2.

For anyone following along who might be curious, here they are:


Amazon has sellers claiming to have Region 1's to sell and they have them listed at upwards of $66! I don't think so.

I'll try it on the computer.....thanks, Sherry.

Also, I have heard there are all-region players available out there.

I know that I want to get one when mine finally dies.
I hate having to wait 3-4 years for DVDs of UK shows BBCAmerica runs now.

How do the prices compare to the usual DVD players? Ours is about 6 yrs old so I'd be up for a replacement.

Well over here multi region is standard these days when you buy a DVD player. Unless you buy a really cheap one perhaps. But ours plays all sorts.

Same with the computer

It plays beautifully on my computer! We got it last Nov and have a 22" flat screen, and it looks like I'm watching HDTV! Which we don't have, lol!

Thanks, Sherry! I'm keeping it.

I got a really cheap one almost a decade ago, and that might be the case here in the States. I know my next one isnt' going to be really cheap.

And now you get to see ME! I've just watched the secret show videos Sherry posted on the news page, and to my alarm one of the shots they've included is of me coming in the door - ACK! I'm the chubby er, 'curvy' *cough* chick at 3.19...
