I think I read something somewhere (blu-ray.com?) that many people were receiving another title (IP Man?) inside a Man From Nowhere slipcover. I'm assuming Amazon had a lot of such returns and stopped selling it temporarily. I have it waiting for me at home, and I hope it's the right disc inside.

For what it's worth, my copy that arrived from Amazon a few days ago is just fine.

I got mine last Fri. from Amazon and there was nothing wrong with it. It's also nice that the slipcover pic was different from the DVD pic.

Solid Snake

pics of that cover, por favor.

Thank you
Ordered it. This is exactly the price that I was willing to pay for US edition

I would have like the audio commentary and extras from Limited Korean edition, but it's already out of print and was way too expensive anyway.

I have to pay tax with Amazon and also have to pay shipping if I don't buy $25, so Walmart is better option anyway.

Solid Snake

that is cool.

I like that the dvd version actually came with a chapter insert. A lost art (i assume the Blu version has one too)

Solid Snake

....why? I could care less about chapter inserts. Waste of paper that I just leave in anyway and never look at again.

When it came in the mail, I was surprised to see all those old-school DVD trimmings on a $20 list Blu-ray. A foreign action flick, no less.

The term is "couldn't care less".

It's nice to open a case to see full color art looking back at you. Certainly a lot better than the holes of "Eco-cases".

My BD arrived today from Amazon and everything was fine also.

This is why we can't have nice things!

Both "could care less" and "couldn't care less" are commonly used, although "could care less" has become more popular recently.

This has annoyed sticklers to no end, but doesn't appear to be slowing down its usage.

Whether commonly used or not, it's still wrong and should be corrected, lest we further devolve into a culture where language means nothing.

Best quote from that first link:

Jay G.

It's only "wrong" if it has potential to be misunderstood. It's been around for over 50 years, and thus isn't an example of a "devolving" language than any other words phrases that change meaning over time, like the exception that proves the rule.

And quoting the article's quote from the 1975 Harper Dictionary of Contemporary Usage is missing the point of that article. Despite being condemned over 35 years ago by that book, the phrase has actually gained ground in terms of usage, instead of losing it.

Interestingly, I checked out a copy of the dictionary, and the panel also disagreed with using the word "cope" is in "I can't cope," and with using "contact" to mean to get in touch with someone. These were wince-inducing usages at the time that were to be discouraged.

unless it's something saying something important...no me importa!

only on DVDtalk could we be on topic only to be derailed by something like this. For further proof go the "11yr. old gets raped by 28 guys etc thread"

I got my assed grassed by a professor one time because I used "I could care less" on a paper. Took off points and in bright red marker put "'couldn't care less' is what you are trying to say". Stuck with me ever since.

What was this thread about?

Solid Snake

70s Chinese porn, I believe...

I really could care less, but not by much...

Josh Z

"Could care less" is a simple malapropism at best, much like "We cannot let terrorists hold this nation hostile" or "We've got to nip that in the butt." (I actually heard a co-worker say this one recently.)

To suggest that the meaning of the phrase has changed over time is to also say that the meaning of the word "could" has completely reversed direction and now actually means "could not."

Shazam

It's doable.

slop101

It's a perfectly cromulent phrase.

TheBang

I could care less about this issue.
