| 23rd December 2002 Asia pregnant again? Rumours persist that Asia is pregnant again by long term friend JT Leroy. I cannot confirm this but the 'Advocate' ran the story particularly because Leroy is gay. (it's a gay and lesbian newspaper). More news when I get it... |
| 21st December 2002 News from Dragon Entertainment Not only have Dragon just released a 3 disc DVD of DEMONS with nearly 4 hours of new extra material but they have some cool Argento films in the wings.

| 02nd November 2002 Anchor Bay UK TENEBRAE DVD! I received an email from the production company Stream Digital Media who are producing an uncut DVD release of TENEBRAE.

| 30th October 2002 UK Suspiria DVD Fault Update! This statement was issued today by Anchor Bay's PR company: "++ SUSPIRIA (Anchor Bay Entertainment UK). Available to buy on DVD from 28th October 2002. Further to the news story issued yesterday concerning the technical fault on Suspiria we have been asked to emphasise that the majority of people's viewing pleasure will not be affected by the fact that the DTS soundtrack is out of sync. Normal 5.1 surround sound is not affected. For those people with DTS (Digital Theatre Systems) compatible DVD players and the specialist equipment needed to encode it, who would like to return their disc, please refer to the information supplied yesterday. Apologies for this partial retraction but we can only provide the information we are given. Clearly this is a minor issue for the mass market after all but is important news for the small number of people with specialist DTS equipment." |

| 29th October 2002 UK Suspiria DVD Fault! This email was sent out by Anchor Bay's PR department: "SUSPIRIA (Anchor Bay Entertainment UK). Available to buy on DVD from 28th October 2002. We have just been informed that there there is a technical fault on the Double Disc edition of Dario Argento's Suspiria which was released on Monday. Due to a mistake by Anchor Bay's DVD authoring company Visart, the wrong DLT master was delivered and some discs were replicated with an out of sync DTS soundtrack. For those who have already purchased the DVD they should return it (with their address details) to: VIS ART THE STUDIOS 8 HORNTON PLACE KENSINGTON LONDON W8 4LZ It will be replaced free of charge with a newly authored DVD. Anchor Bay UK sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this has caused." |
