There are many threads on the forum conveying
member's disgust over certain studios putting
out full-frame only releases.
The question has come up time and time again
about whether it is worth soliciting the
membership to raise the thousands of dollars
it would cost to place an ad in VARIETY
magazine calling attention to the butchering
Hollywood is doing to this artform.
I'll let everyone talk about the merits of
whether it is worth going forth with a campaign.
To be honest, I think the campaign would be
highly recognized in the industry, but ultimately
would fall on deaf ears. This is about money --
not preserving an art form.
I also think that with sales increasing on 16x9
televisions, the next hi-def format will see the
end of full-frame movies.
Still, I offer this thread to you all, and start
it off with a poster that Jay Mitchsoky sent
to me.
