If the format description is covered up by a security sticker, there is another way to tell the Widescreen from the Full Screen. In the Widescreen photo, Halle Berry is looking at the Assistant Director. In the Full Screen shot, she's looking at Trent, the near-sighted intern.

This hasn't stopped me from picking up the wrong edition before. In fact I walked out with the FS copy of Lord of the Rings and had to take it back. So thanks for the heads up.

I remember composer for DAD, David Arnold, saying that he absolutely hated the song and refused to use it in his score. He went to remark how it had no tune or anything.

I like dance music, but I agree with Dave on this one.

And this thread has had three moments that were worse than any Madonna song, IMO:

That's a joke, right?

I think it's a great song.
And, of course...

P.S. I have almost all of Madonnas songs and have attended her concert in upstate NY circa 1984.
No malice intended... I just thought that the remarks mentioned were a bit silly...

Conversely, your 2.35:1 dvds were not meant to be turned into 1.33:1. But I'm sure I'm not the first person to tell you that.

I actually hate that song so much. I might just turn the volume down.
Okay lets not make this a political thread.

But i do have a question. Do you not like that song, or do you just not like Madonna?

I sat through the song and lived to see the movie.

Off-handedly, while I didn't object to Madonna doing the title song, I felt her approach was totally wrong for the Bond series. The style of the music didn't match the fluidity of the opening titles, which are usually are supposed to go hand-in-hand.

The song wasn't bad, just wrong for the movie. She's done good movie songs in the past, i.e., "Live to Tell," "This Used to Be My Playground" and "I'll Remember." That was the approach she should have done. Those songs were memorable.

I think she should stick to singing and not acting. I prefer the 80's dance songs to the techno crap that she's put out the past 5 years. And even though I hate that song, the video is very good.

Intro with a bad song or not, whatever. The intro for once actually tells a small piece of the story which you'd find out anyway sure, but that's new for a bond movie I think. It shows what they're doing to Bond in that camp.
