Re: Gran Torino ----> 6/9/09
Just watched the DVD version, and during the Hmong dialogue, there were subtitles on the screen with a font that I haven't seen on Warner releases before. The English SDH also had the same new font.
Is Warner using this for new releases now, or is this just for Gran Torino?
I didn't see this in theaters, so I don't know what the subtitles looked like then.

So, has Warner abandoned the bookmark feature? Both this movie and Friday the 13th don't have it, which really sucks.
