Charlie's Angels 2 - Theatrical MAR / Unrated OAR?
This from the Digital Bits makes me wonder... Is the theatrical version of Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle only going to be available MAR?

Columbia TriStar has announced its 10/21 release slate. In addition to Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (in both PG-13/full frame and Unrated/widescreen versions), look for a 2-pack of Charlie's Angels: Superbit and Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (Unrated widescreen).

If I choose to pick this one up, I would most likely get the Unrated version, but I would still like to know that the theatrical version is available OAR...
Movies I would purchase instantly if they were available in their correct aspect ratio:
Death Trap, Innocent Blood, The Shadow, and Remo Williams

This seems to be happening alot lately. Artisan is doing the same thing with 'Boat Trip'. Not that I care about that film. And Dreamworks did it recently with 'Old School' (although the unrated us in both widescreen and fullscreen). To me this is pretty bad considering places like Wal-Mart will only stock the rated version, thus many people taking home a fullscreen DVD.

Just ridiculous. Just make the movie available in OAR in all versions. Or, just give us a Superbit Deluxe right off the bat because we know it's coming.

But if you take a closer look, you'll notice that the WS disc is the Unrated version. The theatrical version is available in MAR only.

This is a somewhat stupid move; they seem to think that the enthusiasts who care about OAR will always buy the unrated version. It is like that in some cases...but not all.

Well you (the collective "you," the royal "you") would have complained if they'd done what American Pie did, which was to release four versions
Unrated Widescreen
Unrated Fullscreen
Rated Widescreen
Rated Fulscreen
Frankly I think Charlie did a wise thing releasing his angels in one two rather than four DVDs. It's tough enough hunting for the widescreen versions, I don't want to have to hunt through 3 versions I don't want to find the one I do.

So I am correct in my understanding of what I wrote in my original post?
Remember when we use to be able to trust this studio to do the right thing...?
