obijonkenobi Posted April 28, 2002 Author Share Posted April 28, 2002 I should mention to you all that its best to mention your COUNTRY Special note to arrogant yankees.... "Country" means USA or America... Not California, or some other state - or worse then that... some state initial like CA or something. Non-Americans shouldnt be expected to know those things as there irrelevant and meaningless to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CupO'Coffee Posted April 28, 2002 Share Posted April 28, 2002 from what i heard episode 2 will start in most countries at the same time to prevent pirated copies to be around before the film is released. i'm pretty sure it will start over here in germany the same time as it starts in the US Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCanr2d2 Posted April 28, 2002 Share Posted April 28, 2002 I think that like with most things, when it comes to Asia/Australia, that time zone area, from about +6 GMT or more will be the next day. That is in the main so that the Asian market can't get hold of Ep2 and pirate it before it hits in the US market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leagle Posted April 28, 2002 Share Posted April 28, 2002 Last time i heard, Den Haag was in The Netherlands, and is the center of law in the world. (so you should know where it is.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obijonkenobi Posted April 28, 2002 Author Share Posted April 28, 2002 BCanr2d2 : Australia on the east side is +10gmt and west side of australia is +8gmt. Not sure about Asia. Leagle : I did not know that it was a place in Netherlands but I do now. I didn't think it was in USA either. I thought it was one of those starwars locations from the novels or something. But I stand fully corrected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leagle Posted April 28, 2002 Share Posted April 28, 2002 Originally posted by obijonkenobi BCanr2d2 : Leagle : Ithought it was one of those starwars locations lol... In English it is "The Hague", if that looks more familiar. Where the Dutch seat of power is, as well as their courts, (tho itt's not the capitol). Where the big trials go down. I am not dutch btw. I am eligable for austrailian citizenship, my mother lived there a while and I used to be on her passport. My dad studied there, and they met on holiday to New-Zealand. hehe... Sounds like an anglisised version of "niewe zeeland", tho it was never Dutch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leagle Posted April 29, 2002 Share Posted April 29, 2002 I find it odd Trinidad gets the movie so late. They usually get them about the same time as the US. Well, exceptions are made for Star Wars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDarkSide Posted April 29, 2002 Share Posted April 29, 2002 Special note to arrogant yankees.... "Country" means USA or America... Not California, or some other state - or worse then that... some state initial like CA or something. Non-Americans shouldnt be expected to know those things as there irrelevant and meaningless to us. *arrogant yankee steps up to the plate* Where in the profile does it say anything about having to put a country and only a country? Location is anywhere and anything you want to be. People on here have silly locations, like "Here" or "wherever I am at the moment", but since you don't mention it, I'd assume you don't have a problem with those. My profile says location of Fort Worth, TX ,which for everyone not familiar with the US state abbreviations, means Texas. Certainly, nobody here who has a location with an abbreviation in it means any offense by it. I'm sorry if this angers you. You are free to put whatever you want in there. Non-Americans shouldnt be expected to know those things as there irrelevant and meaningless to us. The counterpoint obviously is that your location says only Queensland. By your logic, Non-Australians shouldnt be expected to know that Queensland is a part of Australia, as its meaningless and irrelevant to them. More to the point, nobody is FORCING their locations on you. You make it seem as if 'arrogant yankees' are constantly spamming references to their locations and getting condescending or angry with you if you don't know them? The fact is its a small line in 8 pt font on the side bar. It's pretty apparent though, by the tone of your post and several others you've made like it, that no matter what an American put in their location, you'd still think the same of them. Correct?

BCanr2d2 Posted April 30, 2002 Share Posted April 30, 2002 obijonkenobi, I live in Australia, was just stating more of what seems like a common practice when it comes to release dates of movies released on the same day worldwide. There is a screening of Episode 2 at 7 PM, May 15 in Melbourne, Australia, obviously private, and would almost correspond to midnight of the 15th in the USA, or very close to it. I don't think Fox, or LFL would like for Asia, the home of pirated games, movies and DVD's to see the movie before it hits the screens in the US, that is why there is the general practice of placing releases a day later in this part of the world. We are almost 3/4 of a day ahead of the US here, so why would they have us telling them what the movie was like. Personally I feel that the US must feel like they have no sense of belonging on the internet, there is no .us, just nothing to show it is theirs, oh well!
