Way to go FilmCaddy! (sarcasm)

I just got my rental of Dark City from FilmCaddy.com, and the website advertises both widescreen and fullscreen (they're on opposite sides of the disc). Anyway, I open it up and what do I see? They stuck a label over the ENTIRE widescreen data side!! This just pisses me off. I thought FilmCaddy was pretty decent until now. Anyway, I hope the movie isn't hurt too much by fullscreen cause I'm looking forward to this one.

Wrong forum, this belongs in the Store Forum.

Unfortunately, I'm afraid it will be. I've never actually seen the fullscreen version (having only seen it theatrically, and then in widescreen on LD and DVD). But it is a very, very visually complex film.

I personally wouldn't bother watching it that way. I'd send an e-mail to customer support explaining their dumb-ass mistake, get a free rental credit, and either get a replacement from them or get it somewhere else.

Dark City is one of the real hidden gems of the past decade. It would be a shame to watch it in a compromised version.

Well for anyone who's wondering, I emailed Filmcaddy about it and they said to mark it as defective and they'd extend my trial for a week. Not too shabby.
