speaking of going to movies for research, have you seen or are you going to see “ashes of time redux”? is there even releases of the movie where you live, because it is only a limited release. I’m wondering because it’s been ages since I’ve seen the original, so I’m afraid I won’t know what’s been changed in the movie, if anything major, and want see if you would know. I’m planning to watch the redux next week then try to buy the original and see if I can spot the differences.
