But on this note: why is it that certain people insist on wanting to punish America for the vaguest hints that we're possibly mistreating some scum-of-the-earth terrorists more than they want to prosecute the war itself? Is saving American lives not more important than investigating some hypothetical torture that in all likelyhood didn't happen, at least not as a rule? It's like how the lefties are more upset over Gitmo Bay and Abu Ghraib than they seem to be over the atrocities the terrorists commit.


It gives a very wrong message when you want to spread democracy and justice and at the same time having secret prisons and denying your prisoners the justice system you want to spread.

But I'm not anti-america, I like a lot of things about America, some things I don't like. I support the war on Al-qaida in Afghanistan (or where-ever), I just don't support the war in Iraq.

EDIT: but do you actually aprove the torturing of terrorists (or anybody) for whatever purpose?

Subtitles are stored as four-colour full screen images, so they should always appear in the same place on all players, which in this case will be bad if the subs are outside the 16:9 frame and people want to zoom to fill their wide screens (some TVs have a "subtitle" zoom for exactly this situation).

The best use of this facility I've seen was on the Ghostbusters DVD. There's a subtitle track which takes the form of an MST3K-style silhouette of the people doing the commentary

The same subtitle track can have both 16:9 and 4:3 images. It depends on the settings of your dvd player and/or your tv/beamer where they will appear on the screen.

Did any of you guys or girls buy this set? I didn't know they actually released movies on a dvd18.

These sets will be available in europe in a month or so. I'm thinking about letting my other extended edition sets go and buy these new ones. I always liked the part of the theatrical version in fellowship where frodo sits under the tree and hears Gandalf singing when he arrives. That scene is worse in the extended edition with different music and without the title. So for that it would be nice to have both the theatrical and extended edition on 1 disc.

I didn't want to get involved in this fight (since I had nothing to do with it and didn't know the whole side of the story) but I have to react on the following:

I always wondered why that guy could do whatever he wanted on this forum and now we know. I think it's a shame! Maybe you should have edited a few of his posts and teach him some manners.
