    A few thoughts about.....LET THE RIGHT ONE IN

    Just checked my two local Best Buys which got new shipments of LTROI on Blu Ray and there is no indication on the packaging that the subtitles have been changed to the theatrical one. Also, I assume that Magnet is still maintaining their "we will not exchange for current owners" policy?

    Chuck, it's a good movie. When I rented from my local store and watched it, I (having read the novel) took issue with a few subtitle choices (documented above in various posts by myself and others) but to be honest, *most* of the subs are fine. And my girlfriend, who has not read the book...

    Just trying to get an update, I'm assuming none of us "mob mentality bloggers" have heard anything from Magnet? Maybe they are adopting the "if we just keep quiet it will all go away" mentality...

    Returned my copy to Amazon, but rented this from a local DVD-specialist store that carries a lot of foreign films and watched it last night. Not only is the "Eli" => "I'm trapped" bungled, but so is the whole line about a character asking another to "go steady", which is turned into "do I have a...

    Maybe if you start out with "I'm a huge Mavericks fan..." :D

    Wow, what a turn of events. I was just getting ready to open this up and just buy the new title when it came out (if they didn't acquiesce to an exchange policy) when I read the latest. Well this "rowdy bandwagoner" is going to return his unopened BD to Amazon asap. :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown...

    The most unfortunate thing is that there is already a precedent set by numerous DVD and BD free exchanges for current customers. It started way back in the late 90s with The Crow DVD, which BVHE not only shipped to me free but sent me a $3.20 check to cover my shipping to them (which I did not...

    Ugh, we want to watch this movie, but if I open it I forfeit the chance to return it to Amazon. Chances are I won't anyway because it's such a hassle to set up return shipping. I just hope Magnolia does the right thing and offer an exchange program for current owners...

    Wow. I knew BD-Live might be good for something some day! ;) Okay, so now we have a potentially low-cost answer for those of us who already own the disc. Problem is: does the current disc support BD-Live? If not, how would the disc be able to launch Live in order to grab the new subs if...

    Wait, so they acknowledge the problem by re-pressing with the correct subs, but aren't going to rectify the situation for those who have already bought it? Lame. Really lame. I actually haven't opened it, and I bought it from Amazon, so I'm contemplating returning, but it's such a freakin'...

    Double bummer! I'm nearly finished with the book and will be watching the movie within the next week or two. So have we confirmed that there is no better sub track on the BD than the standard one people are referring to? Is that descriptive narrative track not a suitable substitute? Thanks in...

    BD just got here (man Amazon regular shipping is fast!) and book should be here tonight. Probably won't get a chance to screen the movie with the gf until after March Madness, but I'll start reading the novel tonight and try to finish it before seeing the movie.

    Okay Ron, just ordered this BD and the hardcover novel based on your recommendation. Will update this thread in the weeks/months ahead with my impressions. Sold! :D
