The Fugitive - Nope, alls good.
Full Metal Jacket - Nope, alls good.
Led Zeppelin: The Song Remains the Same - 7 seconds of pure anarchy!!
Lethal Weapon 2 - Nope, alls good.
The Night of the Werewolf/Vengeance of the Zombies - Don't have but do have another BCI title, so yeah I agree with this acusation.
Pirates of the Carribean: Curse of the Black Pearl - Nope, alls good.
Speed - Nope, alls good.
Terminator 3 - Nope, alls good.
Unbreakable - Nope, alls good.

Is this the ostrich approach? Pay $25 and just accept whatever messed up content is thrown your way? I'd prefer to see replacement programs for all of the affected titles instead of people just taking whatever "slop" they get. I am still debating whether to open or straight-up return Unbreakable due to the audio glitches.

It just sends a bad message to the studio that you will take anything if you buy something with obvious technical errors that would cost nothing to fix aside from a new pressing, IMO. Also, some problems are more severe than others... With the severely aliased titles like Dirty Dancing or the early WB titles you are better off with the DVD version and a good upscaler... Not sure how you can even come close to saying "all's good" with those titles that have a mess of a jaggy transfer. The 7 second dropout in Zeppelin is also unacceptable.
