In Reply to: Why is 2.35:1 so overused on DVDs? posted by Carl Eber on December 17, 2001 at 20:07:50:
From reading the followups to the original post, it seems to me that there is some frustration on your part as to why noone is aswering your original question. The simple explanation, is that your question is invalid due to your incorrect assertion that the original aspect ratio of Episode 1 (and many other movies that are allegedly cropped according to you) was 1.85:1. The only evidence that you have to support your argument seems to be your memory of the original viewing. There is overwhelming evidence that the original aspect ratio of Episode 1 is and always has been 2.35:1. If you indeed saw the original release in 1.85:1 in a thx certified theater, then it was almost certainly cropped from the sides. I know that I too saw Episode 1 in a thx certified theater at the 12:01 opening show on the east coast and it was most certainly in 2:35.1. I'm all for conspiracy theory, but the idea that DVDs are cropped to 2.35:1 from an original ratio of 1.85:1 is, I'm afraid, a scenario that only exists in your mind.Have a nice day

Nice to know that you're aware of what exists in my mind, and that you're also omniscient, and that you stand with those that responded who also happen to be jerks, by taking swipes of a semi-personal nature at me when I specifically asked for no cheap shots. Thanks for the original attitude also, that helps a lot. Have a really sucky day 'miser...I don't give a shi+ whether you saw it at 12:01 on the east coast...are you a moron? Why would anyone have stood in line for this thing? I mean, I liked it, but stand in line for it? No way...Did you also dress in costume like all the pathetic nerds did that saw the first showings? I had to laugh at them when they showed them on tv...
Since you asked.. No I'm not a moron. and you changing subjects by asking me irrelevant, insulting questions does nothing more than reinforce your boorish appearance on this message board as well as contradict your repeated pleas for civil responses to your questions. In my previous post i stated that is "seems", i.e. I drew a conclusion of your thoughts based on information you provided in your posts. Its not difficult, and judging by your cynical response to my reply, you have nothing left to do but lash out at me with weak schoolyard insults in a lame attempt to augment your undefendable position. You might try finding some evidence to support your claims or apologizing to the people on this board. Either one would garner a more positive attitude in response to your posts.Have a Nice Day.
"and you changing subjects by asking me irrelevant, insulting questions..."It had as much relevance anything you have said here. It was you that mentioned seeing this movie at "12:01" on the day it opened, so indeed my question had relevance. Sorry it struck a nerve; I don't blame you for being embarrassed about it though.
I apologize for getting you so upset, and perhaps I do wish you a Happy New Year after all.
Carl Eber just got totally owned.
No, my family did own slaves at one time though...Also, they treated them with as much dignity as the times allowed, which runs contrary to myth...
