Wheee! Millennium boxed set arrived. Pretty pretty pretty. ^_^

Trying to look at picture rather than decipher the Japanese subtitles. Except, hey, I just learned how to write 'kilometer.'

It's like the time I saw All That Jazz in Paris and I kept reading the French subtitles and mentally worrying at them when they didn't match the English. Except I could actually read the French. So it's not like that time at all. Never mind.

All That Jazz is called Et la Spectacle Commence in French. Roughly, It's Showtime, Folks.

I thought you needed to know that.

Watching the pilot right now.

The picture quality isn't insanely perfect. It's got some...rhumba to it, like a video. And I don't think the Japanese subtitles turn off. But you get 20 episodes for 30-40 bucks.

Now, despite what the listing said, I'm not at all convinced that these are licensed. There's no copyright info. The English text is in a rather indifferent Times. The art and printing aren't anything like as nice as, say, the calendars, and could easily have been done on desktop. The underside of the disk isn't bar-coded or anything. The only disclaimer says SPECIAL LIMITED EDITION TO 500 COPIES. STRICTLY AND ABSOLUTELY FOR JAPAN MEDIA PROMOTIONAL PUPPOSES[sic] ONLY. Ummmmmkay.

Still...Dude! Millennium!

Hmm. No sign of the North American DVDs, so I'll probably order 'em.

When the rubber hits the road, that's pretty much the main consideration, yeah.
