"Pulse" - Can't skip trailers? Grrr.

I watched Pulse (really cool horror flick, by the way) the other night, and to my chagrin, I couldn't figure out any way to skip over the trailers that came before the menu.

Did anyone else encounter this problem? If it wasn't just me, then Magnolia should really be ashamed, because otherwise they put out a great DVD, as they consistantly do.

I hope this doesn't become a trend with other companies.

How did you manage to skip them?

I tried:

-fast forwarding
-title menu button
-menu button
-chapter skip
-play button (this actually started the trailers over again from the beginning)

Aside from that, I don't know what else I could have tried.

Can't speak to Pulse, but had the same problem with the Initial D movie I rented recently. Have to sit through over 5 minutes of trailers before getting to the main menu, no way to skip them, can't even fast forward. Stupid.

I was able to skip them when playing it on PC (PowerDVD) --the title menu option worked there, I think -- but nothing worked on my regular DVD player...

I had the same problem this weekend. Total bullshit. I tried everything as well to skip them and only managed to start them over again in the middle of the second trailer!

What's a "shegrin"? A type of poodle? Your poodle operates your DVD player?

Assuming you're serious ... the OP had a spelling mistake, they meant:

CHAGRIN

Function: noun
Etymology: French, from chagrin sad
: disquietude or distress of mind caused by humiliation, disappointment, or failure

That's like mine.

I have Harold & Kumar (R2) and you can't skip this anti-piracy video at the start. It's so stupid.
