Hoping Alexandra has another epiphany.
GREAT news about the Yonfan...assuming someone like the Weinsteins aren't the ones who get the rights (no flying guys with swords in those, so probably not).
ReplyDeleteI had a beautiful edition of Last Romance but I mistakenly traded it to a guy for 4 SB IVL/Celestial DVDs. It will be nice to get that film back eventually.
I remember my copy of Last Romance came with a frame of film of the movie. Where either one of them now is a mystery to me. Somewhere around here! ;D
ReplyDeleteYes, that's the version I had too. Stills and a frame. Nice packaging. I think my Peony Pavilion is just as nice. I still have that one.
