Home Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

Sorry for the delay....

But I rarely look into the video forum here (more of a tweaker and vinyl guy, at leats thats the norm!). I knew that AF-1 was super 35 the minute I compared the 'full screen' and 'wide screen' versions.

Terminator 2 is a super 35 shot as well (the process is fully explained in 'the ultimate DVD' edition), but I can't say as I've been lucky enough to see any other films that way (actually, i most liekly have, but haven't been privy to the knowledge- typical of Hollywood!

One thing that gets me going is that there are still people out there who don't understand fully the idea of watching a widescreen or letterbox movie on a TV set. They complain about those 'stupid black bars' at the top and bottom of the screen, and the super 35 format seems to add fuel to the fire (especially obvious movies like AF-1). If they only knew how much 'chopping and cropping' goes on just to get a film into a workable story order (nevermind flow and audience attention!)- poor slobs! hehehe.... Don't even get me started on ADR/looping and folley!!!

I guess the best way is to find some is to rent a couple of DVDs and start comparing the WS and FS sides (if the discs have them both!).

Cheers,
Dman
