[QUOTE="ShinHakkaider, post: 2852231, member: 9213"] [b]Widescreen[/b] Yeah, if it's pan and scan and the movie was shot wide like 2.35:1 then I simply wont buy it, that simple. Especially if I've seen the movie wide before. All of the remastered Celestial Shaw Bros movies from the 80's that I grew up with in Pan and Scan I have them now in 2.35:1 and it's almost like watching a completely different film. You can only focus on dialog if it's only a character and dialog driven film, but if there's any type of scope the director and the DP intended for you to see more than what youre seeing. I do understand if you have a 20" TV and are watching a wide film, that's like torture. I personally prefer to see what the DP intended for me to see rather than what some video dept hack choses what he thinks is important for me to focus on. I have movies that I've kept on LD because the DVD versions are not what I wanted (STAR WARS OT) or the aspect ratios are all screwey (Extreme Predjudice, on LD 1.85:1 on DVD Pan and Scan. Huh?). When these SW DVD's are released I'll pick them up, just to replace my LD's, the lack of an anamorphic presentation is disapointing though. [/QUOTE]
