What tv on dvd sets are "fake" widescreen? - Page 4

Re: What tv on dvd sets are "fake" widescreen?

Right on! Personally, it distracts me because you spend way too much time noticing it, instead of paying attention to the story. It bothers me that they feel it necessary when it wasn't in the past, you could go anywhere in the world and movies would be looking quite similar, lighting and so forth, today you never know what you're gonna get. And that's a damn annoying position to be in. I can only conclude 'filters/post production tinkering' are used as an additional 'cool' special effect, like constantly watching the world through sunglasses. It's fake.

"Benefit"? Seriously??

Like the boom-mic in some shots and they just never caught it or bothered to fix it, makes it feel more real somehow.

Well it's fun to watch, lets just leave it at that

That part of your statement I can agree with. I'd like to get back on-topic.

I have a new question - The OC - Season one originally came out on DVD in 4x3 then S2-3-4 in 16x9. Now S1 has been re-masters in 16x9 and re-released in a series book with the 4 season. I guess this is a real re-master and not a hack job?

It is. All four season of OC were originally broadcast in High-def.

I thought so, I didn't have a HD back then. So it was the WB's bright idea to sell the first season originally in 4x3.
