"Bowling for Columbine" release 8/19/03 (sorry if a dupe)
Does anyone know an "indy" type place to buy video online; something like Powell's for books?

Anyway, it's never to early to shop early for???

1. The peace group I volunteer for
is going to show the film here in our rural burg in October.

It should be interesting, considering the general rightward lean of the area.

3. Already released in Europe
Bought the DVD last week ;-)
Seems to sell like crazy, as it is already sold out in many places.

You can order the UK-version on www.cd-wow.com (free shipping to US AFAIR).
Your DVD-Player must be capable of playing Region2 DVDs and your TV must understand the PAL-format to use it.

CAUTION: don't order foreign DVD's
There are regional codes on most DVD's which mean that most DVD's sold in Europe cannot play on an American DVD player.

7. Yes: that is correct
European DVDs won't play on unmodified DVD-players and your TV must be PAL compatible as well.(Many modern TV-sets are, if you use a component cable)

VHS tapes won't work with American VCRs and have the same TV-set issue.

10. Yeah JVS, but what is weird is ...
One of the dupe posts was numbered (#4), the other was not.

But yes, do not run foreign DVDs unless you know what you are doing. I tried it a couple of years ago on Windows Millinium and got a message about changing the default location or something like that. Like an idiot, I did. It totally screwed up the DVD-viewing program (can't remember which one). I had to call Dell tech support and completely re-load Windows.
