Just bought two DVDs: "Tootsie" and "Lost In Translation".

Put "Tootsie" in the player and bingo! Exactly what I would expect: the
movie's
home menu comes up (after the obligatory stern warnings...).

Put "Lost In Translation" in the player and.... geeze-Louise! After about
five
minutes of sitting through trailers and plain old advertisements I just
gave up
and fed the disc to DVD Shrink in order to capture the main movie for
trouble-free viewing later.

I read the fine print in both DVD containers. Couldn't identify anything
that
would warn me (didn't expect to find anything either...).

Is there any way to spot something like "Lost In Translation" before
buying?
Review sites? Some sort of code?

Also press stop after the FBI warning/before the trailers and then press
menu.
