In Reply to: Apparently, no one is intelligent enough... posted by CarlEber on December 18, 2001 at 17:53:17:
As an inmate who tried to shed a little light on the subject by stating a neutral fact, I feel personally offended by the tone of voice in this last post of yours, CarlEber.Anyhow I will try to answer your question, and yes, these are my personal speculations. Please feel free to dismiss/not read them.
I can not speak for the majority of DVD releases but will stick with the specific case, The Phantom Menace (TPM). You claim to have seen TPM in the aspect ratio 1.85:1 in a movie theater. AFAIK this may be true or it may not be. Either way, the fact that IMDb lists the aspect ratio to be 2.35:1 AND the fact that the DVD release is 2.35:1, strongly indicate that 2.35:1 is the "original" aspect ratio of the movie. By "original" I mean "as intended by the director". We do presume that George Lucas has approved the aspect ratio of the DVD release, right?
It is not downright impossible, however, that you may have seen more top/bottom footage in a movie theater - but in the light of beforementioned facts, this might as well as anything else be due to a fault on the theater's account.
Best,
Thom
