Really irritating problem on the Silence of the Lambs and Terminator Sp Eds
Both of these MGM discs have already released in the UK. From what I can tell, Region
1 will be exactly the same discs. In which case, you guys are gonna be fuming....
On both discs, they have removed all text in the film, and replaced it with a subtitle
equivalent that is produced by your dvd player.
For example, in Silence of the Lambs, all of the place names in that rather cool font have
been removed, and instead you get massive block capital subtitles.
This is only a minor irritation compared to what they have done with the Terminator....
The whole introduction to the film, you know, the whole screen of text, is now
reproduced, one line at a time, over the start of the future war sequence...... again,
massive block caps etc.
Has anybody else found this to be a pain in the ass!!!!
I think this is so MGM can release the disc in other, non English speaking areas, and still
use the same pressing.
What do you guys think?
Isn't this amending what the director would have wanted?
