Well, it certainly illustrates the diversity of the word.

20 cups of coffee a day is too much coffee.

Hmm, noice. Attacking languages. Mature! Does the French language have any impact on the film itself? No.

I'm 99% sure he's referring to the fact its printed in dual languages all over the box, ruining what many people consider good covers.

Sorry that you are so mad about the dual languages. It is Canadian law to have everything in both French and English, from the label on your bag of chips to your 's.

If you really hate the covers go to cdcovers.cc and print your own.

Move to the good ol USA. We don't have any absurd laws like that yet, and we need as many English speaking residents as possible to keep it from happening.

You will also be able to pick up a few extra movies a year with the savings on taxes alone!

It's a beef with a lot of Canadian movie collectors.

About all you can do is order from the US if it really bothers you that much.

Yep, I thought that was the case but as I was saying before that it doesn't make the make the movie experience any different than if it had a purely English cover. He should just continue to buy or import the American versions if he cares so much. There are bigger things to worry about than a bit of French on your box art.

This would be a big deal for me too if I was in the same situation. I am also a movie collector and I consider all aspects of a release important. Cover art, disc art, menu design, PQ/AQ, etc are all factors I take seriously.

Truly insightful post. Thank you for your contribution.

And before you get all hulked up and ready to respond let me put a question before you: Would this forum be better or worse if after every thread posted, someone posted "who gives a shit?" Consider that for a second.
"Hey guys, Austin Powers collection!"
"Who gives a shit?"

"Hey guys, the new Sony player hits next month"
"Who gives a shit?"

Your opinion of this guys issue may be that it's small, but the second we let users dictate what's worthy of discussion means we're gonna see a lot more low-content posts like yours. Just saying. Well, that and the fact that after you ask it, at least 3 people basically respond in kind "I would care about that." See? Moot post.

By the way, "who gives a shit" isn't a statement. Does nobody around here realize that?

That sucks, I guess whatever floats your boat though. It's understandable.
