That’s right folks, complain enough, create enough uproar, and show enough blood and gritted teeth, and your opinions will be heard. Magnolia released this statement regarding their plans for a reissue: We are listening to the fans feedback, and going forward we will be manufacturing the discs with the subtitles from the theatrical version. [But] there are no exchanges [for those who purcahsed the messed up version]. We are going to make an alternate version available however. For those that wish to purchase a version with the theatrical subtitles, it will be called out in the tech specs box at the back/bottom of the package where it will list SUBTITLES: ENGLISH (Theatrical), SPANISH.
Nice! While it sucks that you’re shit out of luck if you purchased the previously released DVD / Blu-Ray version of the film, it’s awesome that they listened to fans and are doing something to rectify their f*ck up. Very cool.
