Alright, you saw it in a THX theater and it appeared to you to be 2.35:1, and that is irrefutable in your mind. Never mind the fact that two of the three theaters I saw it in were also THX certified theaters, complete with the THX sound logo-advertisement played before the movie on those occasions."You so obviously missed the point on the Lucas Films reference to the DVD."
-Actually, you had no point, so I didn't miss it.
"If the TPM DVD was released at a 2.35:1 Aspect Ratio (it was)..."
-No kidding Sherlock...I mentioned this in my original thread post, perhaps you missed it? It's only like, the basis for this entire discussion, is all...
"and the director had control (he did),"
-Exactly where do I state that a director wouldn't have control?
"what he wanted was a 2.35:1 Aspect Ratio delivered to the consumer. Is that clear enough this time?"
-Hey, my question wasn't whether or not that's what the director wanted delivered to the consumer. The question was WHY...IS THAT CLEAR ENOUGH FOR YOU? I doubt a windy Arizona morning at 5000 feet over the Grand Canyon, after a dry cold front, would be clear enough for you...
"I give you credit, you are persistant, which doesn't make you correct. Talking louder doesn't make you correct either."
-Well said, and it applies to you as well. Thanks for the credit...can I use that with a shiny quarter to call someone that knows the answer to my question? If you say "no", my heart will be broken.
Follow Ups:
Why 2.35:1 (or wider) vs. 1.85:1? A wider image has more visual impact.If you compare the typical humans field of view for image width vs image height, the width has much more range.
Your specific complaint about TPM is a preference and Lucas' preference doesn't align with yours.
You could get a DVD player such as the Panasonic RP-91 (or many others) others with scaling/zoom to expand the image to fit a 16:9 screen and get a similar effect to taken the 2.35:1 OAR into a 1.85:1 or 1.78:1.
Regards,
The point was, that there is information missing in the 2.35:1 version on the DVD (from the top and bottom)."If you compare the typical humans field of view for image width vs image height, the width has much more range."
Ah, but what is that range? Is it exactly 2.35:1, with squared borders? And, what does this have to do with anything anyway?
