How long will the LG titles stay BBY exclusives? And once they're free for all to sell they will stay the same right? Only asking because I'm really interested in Anchorman (not at $20) and wanted to make sure it would stay the same package.

Warner Bros. totally dicked Tr'T around, letting it rot on the shelf for two Halloweens before unceremoniously dumping it onto video in time for a third season; all the while pinching off new Saw installments for the theaters. What about people who refuse to support "torture porn" films like Saw or Hostel who would gladly slap down the jack for movies like Feast (the first one, not the crap sequels) or Tr'T?

I'd downloaded Tr'T, but when it came up on Amazon for $10 on BD, I called my g/f and asked if we should get it and her instant reply was, "Oh, hell yeah!" It's almost impossible to buy a single evening-price movie ticket for $8 these days, so this shouldn't be considered much of a gamble.

I recall that the 'High Tension' DVD I watched several years ago had English dubtitles that did not even make sense with the French soundtrack (i.e., dialogue that was on the English soundtrack was subtitled on the English subtitle track but that dialogue did not appear on the French soundtrack at all. It wasn't just that the English soundtrack mistranslated some dialogue to better match lip movements.)

I think that most of this extraneous dialogue tried to explain away why Cécile de France -- who dubbed her own dialogue -- had a French accent while all the other voice actors spoke in non-accented American television dialect.

Presumably that has been corrected?

I'm sorry you feel that way, but Creepshow is a classic.

If Creepshow doesn't hold up, than really, either A) you don't get the target audience, or B) none of the horror movies older than 10 years old don't hold up.

Well, yes and no. The self-justifying dialogue added to the US theatrical English dub is still there in the English dub on the B-r, just not indicated in the English subtitle or English SDH tracks. But it's obvious that both English subtitle tracks are largely taken from the dub, not translated from the original French. Marie's line to Alex in the car just before the cornfield scene is subtitled as "You still have some sarcasm, you know," which would seem to be someone's attempt to decipher Cécile de France's accent from the English dub saying "You still have some sparkles on, you know." That same line is translated on the R2 Optimum DVD as "Your glitter didn't wash off." Lines that aren't in the English dub don't get subtitled; Alex's little brother says, "You're dead, Hendrix!" to the dog when he's playing and it's never indicated.

I don't think Creepshow held up very well either, but Twilight Zone: The Movie, for example, held up well for me and they are very similar in the type of horror movie they strive to be. The Leslie Nielsen segment (Something to Tide You Over) is really the only one in Creepshow that didn't nearly put me to sleep.
