Wild Things/Wild Things 2 (2 PK) is FOOLSCREEN

I ordered the Wild Things 1+2 (2 pack) from Deep Discount Dvd and found out that that Wild Things 1 is not only foolscreen, but is also the old version that's not unrated. Anybody else get this?

Wow, that's pretty weak. The original disc was a flipper with WS and P&S on seperate sides, but seeing how they've been re-releasing some of their other titles with foolscreen only, I guess we shouldn't be surprised.

Foolscreen? Very mature.

I'd be pissed. Did it say on their website that it was the unrated verson, either way I would be sending it back.

I saw the 2-pack in bestbuy and was interested, till I saw that it was the original release, which I already have.

The website says

This DVD 2-Pack collects the unrated version of WILD THINGS (1998) with its sequel, WILD THINGS 2 (2004). See individual titles for details.

But it says WILD THINGS (R)/WILD THINGS 2 (2PK) for the title, so it tricked me. I guess I'll have to double dip on this one and get the unrated version for $9.89.

Me too, because fullscreen sucks! Unless it is a TV show or the director intended it to be that way (oar).

Sorry to hear this. I hope you didn't open it before you noticed. I would send it back if I hadn't already opened it and if I did open it I would still try anyway by calling them.

If it's open matte, it might be the one movie out there worth watching in full screen. It's not like you're watching it for the brilliant cinematography or the director's artistic vision anyway -- and don't claim you are, perverts.

I thought we were supposed to call it "pan and scam"?


To be honest, I find both terms kind of silly and never use them, but that's just me.
