I guess I should open it to find out.Mine is waiting for me back at home. The question I have: does the UK 4K UHD screen menu use the classic cover picture, or have they used the rather ghastly new American cover as the screen menu?

Yep. Preserving film or art isn't about keeping the parts one doesn't mind is gone. The logos and the music placed over them are part of the film and filmmakers have edited them with this in mind. That's why new filmmakers now use old studio logos in certain films for efffect (somebody named Tarantino). That shows somebody cares. Even a film as goofy as CADDYSHACK has one of the great logo and music openings and would feel different minus the spinning Orion stars over those celestial Kenny Loggins voices.It doesn't seem like anyone is claiming that they're willing to die on this particular hill. They're just expressing their feeling that the original studio card is part of the movie. I, for example, would get annoyed when watching a United Artists film from, say, the 1970s, with a master created by MGM, start off with the (usually modern day) Leo the Lion card, and then a spiffy new UA card complete with URL. But I don't take it back to the store and demand my money back, or refuse to buy any further UA releases because of it. It's an annoyance, but not a deal-breaker.
I'm impressed that you ordered the UK version, as you store a lot of your collection in binders. Also, horror isn't exactly your favourite genreI guess I should open it to find out.
My 4KUHD releases are stored in their original packaging. 4K discs are more susceptible to scratches or dust.I'm impressed that you ordered the UK version, as you store a lot of your collection in binders. Also, horror isn't exactly your favourite genre

Ah well, that's a minor detail. The important thing is that we have been able to purchase a major upgrade in picture quality on physical media.Unfortunately, I have to report that the (UK) 4K/UHD menu uses that ghastly new American cover as the screen menu.
OUCH !!! I always thought that the British trademark was to remain as stalwart purists with their traditions and art.Unfortunately, I have to report that the (UK) 4K/UHD menu uses that ghastly new American cover as the screen menu.
Mine arrived Saturday. Mine has nothing on the screen menu which was very odd. And would anyone know why UK cases are deeper in thickness than US cases?Mine is waiting for me back at home.

To be fair, when the extended version first came out in 2000, Friedkin still maintained that the original cut was his preferred version. It wasn't until the Blu-ray release in 2010 that it officially became known as the "Extended Director's Cut."
That said, I strongly prefer the original 1973 cut. The extended ending is especially disastrous, IMO. As others have noted, that scene works in the book mainly because Kinderman was a bigger character. But onscreen, it just kills the atmosphere for me. It's over; we don't need to hang around listening to them talk about catching a movie together.
...you do know Caddyshack had the red and blue bars logo originally right?Even a film as goofy as CADDYSHACK has one of the great logo and music openings and would feel different minus the spinning Orion stars over those celestial Kenny Loggins voices.
amazing article. Sorry if you don't suscribe....you do know Caddyshack had the red and blue bars logo originally right?
DTSWasn’t that a 1979 re-release and not original? That’s akin to saying Vertigo had a bona fide Dolby release.
