What do you mean by "screen selections"?

Edit: BTW, I have it, just not sure what you're asking.

Actually, searching I ran across a post at Amazon that seems to say there aren't any chapters, menus (expect the special features selections after the movie), scene selections, etc. but that's incorrect.

Like most Warner titles, it starts out just playing the movie but if you use the pop-up menu, you can change the various audio/language settings, choose various scenes, or access the special features.

The top menu button shows an expanded view of the special features menu with just a "Play" or "Resume" in the menu bar part of it (depending on where you activated the top menu).

Edit: BTW, how do you write a review on Amazon without using your real name? I was going to write one to correct the incorrect info posted as well as share my thoughts on it but it didn't seem to provide a way to use an alias.

If you haven't bought it, don't worry about the import. The domestic is coming very soon

Are we sure about this? Makes sense....There will be blood being a prime example. But...will it also be a steelbook?

Yeah, I'm getting the import because a) it's available now, b) it's in a steelbook, and c) I've heard talk about the UK cut being slightly different (couple alternate angles towards the end with more bloodshed - things that had to be changed slightly to get an R in the US). I'm not sure if C) is correct, but I'm interested to find out.

I agree...just waiting for Amazon.uk to ship the damn thing!

Forgive my asking, but how do you know? Is it just a prediction based on the release of other movies like There Will Be Blood, or do you have solid evidence...?

All right then. Is there a date that would define soon? (My apologies for the nosiness...I'm anticipating this release.)

He's Wicky! He can't tell you because he's special.

Surfermouse · 05-25-2008, 11:45 PM

Well, that's just maddeningly unhelpful.

w_tanoto · 05-26-2008, 12:26 AM

of course there's screen selection.
also, if you are still disgusted with paramount, you may want to get it from UK.
I know I am still.
