Unfortunately I live in a decrepit building built in 1922, in a non-high-tech part of SF. Though I have DSL, the infrastructure doesn't support high throughput. I should take a picture of my DSL line connection. It's literally a wire wrapped around a screw sticking out of a phone box.

And Jelly, we've both learned something today. I congratulate us both! :D

Okay to stay On Topic... Though I look forward to all four of these movies, something that really makes me happy about this set is the inclusion of The Living Skeleton. As a kid I used to see pics of it in Famous Monsters once in a while and in Dennis Gifford's amazing coffee table book A PICTORIAL HISTORY OF HORROR MOVIES.

Always wanted to see the movie just based on this pic (which I guess it turns out it is not even really in the movie, just a paste up job). But reading the reviews of it, it sounds sufficiently awesome.

Cool! I've always liked Guilala and Goke, but The Living Skeleton and Genocide are movies I've only been hearing about since I was a kid. Can't wait to finally see them!

I can't think of any Criterion releases that did include the corresponding English dubs.

And since I grew up watching a fan subbed VHS of the movie, the dub isn't a requirement for me... I think I've only watched it dubbed once.

I have only seen Goke dubbed, but I doubt its something I'll miss.

I wouldn't listen to a dub track anyway, so no big whoop for me.

Yah, the Eclipse series are typically bare bones outside of a booklet.
