Pan & Scan Blu-rays? You gotta be joking...

Can't trust the studios to get anything right, apparently. 

Thanks for the warning, Skip.

Are you certain about The Terminator though? I read somewhere (soprry for the lack of a link) that it is supposed to be an improvement over the previous release... Bargain bin doesn't ring right with that.

I will accept your apology. There are several titles being released this way, major ones for the most part. I am not in the habit of posting inaccurate information. Am i sure? Boy, i can't say what i would like to.

Mayber, scott, Maybe. I have not seen anything that leads me to believe the industry has changed the definiton of either Full Screen or Pan & scan...have you. Time will supply the answer, but even if you are correct Terminator at 1.78, oh yeah i'll break the door down to buy that....NOT. To make matters even more entertaining the title involved are all Combos. I don't make assumptions, scott,until I see the back cover we won't know exactly whay hollyweird is doing. If you know something else then provide a link, or state that you are making an ASSumption, because as i said I have seen no announcements from ANY Studio that says they are redefining Fullscreen and Pan & Scan.

Btw Rick the tone was a little more than a question. Are you certain about The Terminator though? like i said Duh, no I am not sure, good grief. ohhhhh what I want to say. Am I supposed to believe that Achim was doing a Joe Pesci (vinny) imitation, I doubt it.
But like I said i will accept his apology.
but you, rick, not a chance

I won't know because i won't buy it. I don't buy altered material intentionally, I want OAR. this sounds like a repetition of the creation of "Family Friendly" DVDs, what a joke that was.

Wait until they crop a 2.35 film, scott, or maybe they should crop ben-Hur down to 1.78 from 2.55 or 2.70 depending on the negative...no thank you.

BTW i am simply trying to offer information to people, your tone seems ummm a little argumentative to me. I hope I'm wrong but both of your posts sound that way.

Also as I said you are making assumption that you have not backed up. I said that I am not aware of  any announcement by ANY studio that they were redefining either/or Full Screen/Pan & Scan. Can you back your claim up are is the assumption that i think it is. I mean you know, you certainly don't have the ability to set AR  standards or definitions for Hollywood. So I can only presume that are you making an assumption, just like you assume there is contradictory data in the screen shot. 4X3 is the industry standard for Fullscree and pan & Scan, what you believe is not relevant, until the title is released and we get to actually SEE the product. But you certainly can't summarily claim that 1.78 is Fullscreen when it is not...YET.

We have to wait and see, do you have a problem with reporting news which may be of interest to the community.

I have to laugh at your answer. I sid that you seemed to be a bit argumentative and i hope i am wrong. That's ummm a simple yes or no. You probably are. Sounds to me like a non-denial denial, something that would come out of the mouth of my friends in DC.
