    Thanks a bunch, Gary! :emoji_thumbsup: I'll also remain subscribed to this thread. My fear was that if you or someone else came in and said something to reassure me, someone else would come in and say "hell no, your way off!", and i'll feel like crap again. :D I also knew that about the...

    Ah, some new responses while I was still composing, thanks fella's. It does make me feel better reading what Will and Patrick said. I am all for changes to the ratio IF it was intended by the filmmaker from the beginning. I don't agree when a filmmaker composes for theatrical exhibition but...

    No thanks, Marcus. While I am extremely supportive of OAR and what is viewed in my HT, I really have very little intrest in learning everything about the process. I will learn what is said here in the forum, Simon's posts for example have been extremely intriguing and I did learn from him, but...

    Ira, nice to talk to you again, you may remember we had a pretty fruitful debate back in December about OAR. ;) As for 15%, if it's that low than that is truly disturbing, but I doubt that it is. Also, it's not possible for me to simply go out and choose whichever version is the more...

    Your damn straight! :emoji_thumbsup: Now I REALLY don't know what to believe. Gary, what your saying, essentially, is that I should only trust the theatrical AR? That's easy enough, and I am aware of directors who retool their AR's like Roger Donaldson did to create a compostional disaster...

    Apologies, Patrick, I wasn't ignoring you, I just didn't have alot of time today. :) In regards to your statement about Invasion of the Body Snatchers and Shane, I take it that in fact they were meant for exhibition in 1.33:1? Fine, in that case, give me the 1.33:1. How are they presented on...

    Simon, I cannot concern myself with what a director or DP MIGHT have really wanted to compose for, if I did that with every movie I would drive myself insane and never feel comfortable with any DVD I buy that was shot in Super 35. Listen, we have to settle on some AR, and it might as well...

    Deja vu! An OAR discussion involving Simon, Gary and myself, where have I seen this recently!? ;) I'm not getting into this again, suffice it to say for those who know my stance on OAR it is strong and uncompromising. I will not tolerate any alterations from said film's theatrical AR! As...
