If you could ask the major studios one question-what would it be?

WB-Whats the status of the 1960's animation classics-Space Ghost,Herculoids and Birdman? Fox-Land of the Giants-when? Paramount-Are you planning to do all the seasons of Mission Impossible including the newer series? MGM--Have you pulled the plug on Green Acres? Sony--Whats up with One Day At A Time? Lionsgate-What are your plans for animation in the future ? Anchor Bay--What tv shows are you pursuing for future release?

Sony---- why do you have to cram everything on to 2 or 3 discs with your tv on dvd sets?

Universal---- why don't you give a shit about your customers?

LionsGate---- why do you love syndication?

I know the answers to all of them and thats because it cuts costs but i would love to see there response.

Universal-Why do you not put movie trailers as extras on dvds anymore?

MGM/Fox-Will there be a new box set of all six rocky movies, with each flick getting the 2-disc SE treatment?

WB: Why do you keep issuing your double/triple feature discs in full frame only?

New Line: What the hell happened to your New Line Platinum Series line? Did you let whoever used to be in charge of DVDs at Paramount take over?

Sony: Is it really neccesary to include 17 trailers at the beginning of each of your DVDs? And if you're really willing to drop for chapter inserts, why not print the chapters on them? (Bonus question: Why did you screw over The Woods on DVD...we know you screwed the theatrical release, screwing the DVD isn't going to make fans any happier.)

20th Century Fox: Can you stop pandering to the masses and put the Widescreen side "up" on all your flippers? And can you stop rereleasing stuff after six months and just do it right the first time?

MGM: You haven't lost your dedication to cult classics, have you? I want the same guys who gave Killer Klowns From Outer Space and UHF feature-packed DVDs.

Anchor Bay: Why don't you include English subtitles?

Lionsgate: I'm sensing a trend starting...am I going to get screwed on all of your Blu-Ray releases? Am I gonna get screwed anyway through double dip?

Universal: Are you going to license The Game, The Big Lebowski and 21 Grams to Criterion? And can you start including trailers? (Bonus question: And what the hell was up with The Jerk SE? That was AWFUL!)

Miramax: How about those Kill Bill SEs already?

Paramount: Why are you ruining all of your catalog cover art? Stop that!

Who would win in a fight: Captain Kirk or Captain Picard?

No matter what question we could pose to these guys, these are giant corporations - the answer would likely be insane and idiotic. If we were in a position to make a demand on a studio, it would be to stop screwing over films, their creators and their audience. Better support for the indie filmmaker through their wide distribution channels. Have a single HD format, hell let's go nuts and get 4K systems into homes now and be done with it!

1) Make the contents in every directory structure anamorphic .. and yes, that would include the film.

2) DTS??? Why is it that most foreign releases are afforded this option but a small percentage of region 1 releases do not?

Not only that, stop with the cases that have 2 locking clips on the side. I hate those damn things!

To Whoever Owns the Rights: When are you going to release Friday the 13th: The Series?

Why the hell are discs being shipped with cardboard slipcovers with NO shrinkwrap on them??? Do they not care that most stores will put price tags on them and let them get banged-up on the shelves, making them look much less attractive to the obsessive collector types??

That's because those who would give us answers have jobs that are somewhere between being bean counters and PR flacks.

Sorry I don't have a question. There are just so many that come to mind that I can't narrow it down to just one.

The DVD contains nothing except an optional full-screen version, but created and dumped (for no reason) were three featurettes (I think Girl vs. Girl, one on Bruce and a making-of), deleted/extended scenes and most importantly an audio commentary by Lucky McKee. I would guess that the commentary was probably rather anti-Sony, and Sony just got lazy and decided it would be cheaper not to include any of it.
