Exactly!
Only Walmart has it though...don't want you to make a wasted trip to Target.

It's not here yet (just foggy) but even the beaches are supposed to be damn hot tomorrow. Good thing we have central air now.
You can order the Blu-Ray online too -- just have to pay another $2.50 in shipping I believe. Or just wait until it shows up at Amazon in 6 months. With the Walmart exclusives I have them shipped-to-store (free shipping) and just pick them up when I'm driving by, which I usually do once a week.
Andy, I've just heard on FSM that the Blu-Ray for Mad World doesn't have the Entr'acte. Is that correct? If it's true, then I'm afraid it just became a no-sale because if they can't keep something that's always been part of even the standard cut, then that's just a bad presentation.

It's how MGM transferred it. The "Overture" song is included against a black screen, but it doesn't have the Entra'cte or the Intermission. This is regrettably how MGM transferred it for HDTV broadcasts.
I almost wonder if that was because the Intermission segue has the lyric, "Now step into the lobby, for whatever is your hobby. A drink A SMOKE, or repeat a joke, from a Mad, Mad, Mad Mad World!"
I mean literally given the present-day attitude on smoking, it wouldn't surprise me if they wanted to keep out something that would "encourage smoking."
Just to be clear -- there is a pause for the intermission, but the Intermission itself -- the music that would've played there -- is gone. The movie resumes as soon as it says Intermission, which is how it always plays on TV (at least as far as I've seen).
Appreciate the clarification. I think I'm going to pass. The movie has never been a favorite of mine to the same degree "The Great Race" is, and on whatever rare occasion I'm going to find time to watch the film, I'm going to want to see the longer cut.
Actually, that makes it more problematic because we don't have a Walmart nearby that I know of.
