I haven't really seen it yet. Cynthia and I watched the documentary while on line for Jekyll and Hyde and then we never finished. I think we're gonna watch the actual thing tonight.

I got it last week but haven't had a chance to really watch it. So far, I'm a bit disappointed but I'm definitely waiting until I see the entire thing before passing final judgment.

I can hardly believe that someone can be dissapointed by that DVD...
Just watching "Mandy Goes To Med School" really freaks me out (in an enthusiastic way). The improvisational part is sooooo great (imho). I really fell in love with that DVD. But maybe my point of view is blurred 'cause I was there and it has been such a great weekend with friends and music and fun...
I'm not sure.

If I understood, the DVD on Region 4 would not be released in time for us getting in the Contest?

The North American DVD is Region 1 & 4, so if you can watch NTSC discs, you're good to go right now. (If not, I guess you'll have to wait for the Aussie disc.)

Now that I've gotten to watch a bit more of the disc, I think my main problem with it really is the general look. There's just this "flat" look to the video that I've noticed with a lot of digital video. The video is sharp and crisp and all that, but the aesthetics are a bit off in my opinion. Maybe the video would look better in high def but I don't know.

Also, I'm just not happy with the direction. Sorry. It just feels the director could've shot the exact same thing for *insert random band here*. It's not bad, per se. It's just bland.

That being said, I really do need to watch the whole thing. Maybe that'll change my mind. I'm also not trying to say Dolls fans should avoid the disc. Those who haven't seen them live or missed the last tour will probably be the happiest viewers. Everybody else...well, your mileage may vary.

in fact, i can watch region 1 on my table dvd, but i dont take the risk of using other regions on my pc dvd reader - even though i tricky it region switch limit. good to hear that it is noth 1&4. now, i just need the money.  :'(

There are loads of ways to get around region coding on PCs. I'd be surprised if you really couldn't.
