Crouching Tiger, Hidden Crap on Blu-Ray
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, a brilliant and beautiful film based upon the fourth* part of Wang Du Lu's Iron/Crane Pentalogy** is finally being released on Blu-Ray. Not (yet) knowing what the picture quality will be like, that is probably the good news. The bad news is that the movie is not being released individually, but as part of a "trilogy" set that apparently includes Sony's surplus inventory of blu-rays for two unrelated films, House Of Flying Daggers (great movie, bad disc) and Curse Of The Golden Flower (dreadful movie, good disc).
Not buying Crouching Tiger until it's sold individually. Not buying House Of Flying Daggers until a proper Blu-ray is made. Not Buying Curse Of The Golden Flower at all. Ever.
* always thought that CTHD was the third book in the series, previously.
** which I've never read - like most Wu-Xia fiction, the novels aren't available in English.
