I remember being very upset about MGM´s missing subtitles, especially on titles such as Ronin and Stigmata, and I also remember MGM giving a promise to support subtitles in the future on the HTF chat.
But I really feel the battle for subtitle on dvd´s is moving in the wrong direction. And funny enough the subtitles is missing on a lot of discs, which is otherwise packed with extras and really should be the definitive version of the movie.
Look at all the Anchor Bay limited releases. High priced tin boxes with lots of extras ect, but no subtitles, except when a non-english language is spoken.
Same with Artisan. MGM still, and now even New Lines "Infinifilm", whick lacks subtitles. That really made me angry last night when watching "Blow" and "Rushhour 2" a couple of days ago.
I only dread that they will release LOTR with no subtitles.
Also the Hong Kong legends releases (reg 2) lacks subtitles when english is spoken.
Its really really annoying that you pay top price for a product which lacks subtitles.
Maybe its not as big a war as the OAR-war, but I really cant any reason not to include subtitles.
Just had to get that out.....
