Feature Presentation

0 Dear Friends: 02br
02br
00I have been wondering, for a while, exactly what word they use. 02br
00When you see a Paramount video, shortly before a movie starts, it says, "We are pleased to * you a feature presentation." 02br
02br
00It sounds me like "We are pleased to VIEW you a feature presentation." It could be "BRING," however. I consulted several dictionaries, but "view" does not have this usage and "bring" does plenty. 02br
00When you google, 02br
00"view you a feature" gives me nothing and "view you * presentation" does just four; "bring you a feature" provides me with 410 hits and "bring you * presentation" does 138. 02br
02br
00Gramatically speaking, therefore, the word should be "bring," but I still hear it as "view." 02br
02br
00Which is the right word? 02br

0 It would be "we are pleased to bring you the feature presentation" -- in other words, now that you have watched several advertisements for our other films, we will bring (or give) you the main thing, the thing you really wanted to see. 0-

00Surely "it would be," and "give" is also appropriate, but that's not what I expected. 02br
00I am pretty sure, however, they use "view" or "bring" in the sentence. I guess I did not ask the question in a right way. So I am going to modify it. A new question is; Which word do they use, VIEW or BRING? 02br

00Perhaps I'm reading this wrongly, but it seems to me that khoff answered your question. I do not have a Paramount video to hand, so I cannot check the answer conclusively, but given a choice between "view" and "bring", the only choice is 01b00bring02b050010id1

00You are right. BRING is definitely a better choice to the question I asked. My wording was bad. I do another try and this is a new one; Do you figure that they you use "VIEW" in the sentence? 02br

00You seem to have asked the same question in three different ways. Let me try and give you an answer. 02br

001. I don't have a paramount film, so I can't check the wording for myself. 02br

00I checked a dozen videos released by Paramount over the weekend. I found there were two versions. 02br
00One is; Paramount is pleased to * a feature presentation. 02br
00The other is; And now we are pleased to * a feature presentation. 02br
