Nice.

I wish I liked the film more than I do but I don't.

It has elements in it I find quite frustrating not the least of which, is the rationale for the ending.

[bewarethebeastman]

Do these Japanese editions usually have English menu's ? Some of the art looks great!

[Grendel]

Amazon.jp does not provide the specs for this particular edition @bewarethebeastman and since the price currently = $445Usd, I doubt I'll search further. 🙂

It’s no way that price is right!!

[bewarethebeastman]

Oh wow yeah that seems like an error

[Grendel]

Well folks, I suspect it's accurate.

It's rare but I've seen spec eds for films in Japan go for even more.

There's some pretty deep pockets in that country I guess....🤪

I was thinking about buying this because I wanted to hear the director’s commentary. Sometimes getting more insight into the creators point of view makes for a more richer experience, as it stands on its own I didn’t like it very much either.
 

I was hoping to like it more, but it was just okay. This is the second movie by this director that I didn’t really like. His first movie didn’t do it for me either.

Wrong link, buddy 😂 But you're going to be disappointed anyway because for now it seems they don't ship outside Japan.

[Grendel]

KK.

my link perhaps went to a 3rd party seller, sponsored by Amz.jp.

I personally won't be disappointed regardless, as I won't be picking up the film. 🙂

[T-800]

Ohh, i think i need this edition, any GB ? 😁

Haven't seen Hereditary but I hear good things about it. 

But this movie I saw alone in the theater, and all I recall from that experience is    I guess I should've made some research on the background or something? seriously what was this movie about

[ksosk]

Anyway, this title is now available to preorder for international requests!

 

[Masada]

For me it says it's unavailable to deliver to my location :c

Too bad, I'd have really loved this, I loved the movie

@Masada, what is Midsommar about?🤔

 

A girl loses her parents and sister in a terrible way, joins her boyfriend and his friends on a trip to rural Sweden, only to fall in the clutches of a cult.

It's unique because it's a horror movie, filmed almost entirely in bright sunlight. It's pretty unsettling.

Hereditary is worse to me. It has it moments, but overall I was left saying

I REALLY want this, but I can’t find the button to translate Japanese amazon to English?

Yes, its stupidly overpriced and the steelbook really isn’t that special - but the outer case is stunning. And I’ve bought the other two blu Ray box sets and the Korean one due next month.

Midsommar is one of my favourite films in years. I love that it divides people.

 

 

🥤Hi @Russt,

 

If you are familiar with the Amazon site (such as your amazon.co.uk) it is quite easy to navigate the AMZ.co.jp’s site also and if your PC/iPad has translations (they are located at the bottom of the page & you just click English (remember a lot of the page will still have Japanese language there... I hope this helps you some!😉

 

BTW, I love that cover also but this steel is too darn expensive for my blood hehe 🤑

 

Veum 🤠

I'll just toss this out there for thought as well @Russt;

First, the translate button on Amz.jp  is located where you see the Japanese flag at top ( just to the right of the search block)

Hit the scroll button beside the flag and choose "English".

Take note, as @Veum mentioned, not everything on their pages gets translated, so;

a- use Google translate while searching,

b- have a very good idea in advance, specifically what edition you want, as sometimes there are similar looking items that have slight differences between eds, and

c- this is the Japanese for "English";  "英語"   so if you see that in the stats listing for the title, you know it has either a sub, dub or original OST in English.

 

Last, whenever I purchase a  pricey edition from Amz.jp, I usually toss in one or two magazines with the order.

The reason?

Amz.jp will place the mags and your Blu(s) on a piece of cardboard, then shrink-wrap them together before placing the order in a box.

This practice is referred to by users as "planking".

It's to date, the best way of assuring your purchases will get the TLC treatment, vice tossed in a bubble mailer.

Now, some may say; "well, they planked my order anyway and I didn't need to buy any silly magazine!"

Sure, if ya like gambling you can always take the chance.

However since most of my orders with Amz.jp usually cost a couple hundred $, I for one won't chance it, heh.

 

What mags, are of course totally your call.

I like anime, so "New Type", "Shonen Jump" and a few others fill my bill.

But any cheap mags will do.

Bizarre, I know;

- $200 Blu-ray? toss it in a jiffy mailer

- $10 mag? Oh baby! gotta protect that sweet treasure! Plank It!

Go figure...🤪

Amazon JP are fantastic expensive but well worth it MEGA BLING WORTH THE EFFORT AND TIP TOP @Russt

 

 

[Grendel]

Hi @Russt

Heh, just happened to be still here.

 

You will probably need to set up an individual account for Amz.jp.

Basically, just a new password as your log in name will be the same.

But the account does not link to the other country Amazon sites.

Thank you - just tried but they’re still not sending anything to the uk.... suppose I just need to keep checking back. 

 

A shout out to @ksosk may not be amiss here 

[Grendel]

Indeed @Russt; The virus dilemma has placed a lot of shipping restrictions throughout the world.

Hopefully they start lifting soon...🙂

 

Now, there is an off chance that our Asian GB Hub, I believe @ksosk ? May be able to assist you, I'm not sure.

You can always ask.

Possibly here, tagging him, "@" symbol plus ksosk = @ksosk , or a PM?

I'm not sure if we have a thread for Asian sales off hand...🤔

Director's cut included but it's not in 4k. Only the (inferior!!!) thetrical version is in 4k
