    "Cujo" to be released fullscreen.......AGAIN

    It's been released widescreen in Europe, thru Paramount. I guess Lionsgate might use the same elements.

    Cropping, why?

    Cropping is an issue all right. But windowboxing is no solution.

    John Carpenter's movies who should get a SE for R1

    Actually I wouldn't recommend the French releases for those movies. Many more extras are available, but transfers don't look so good to me. They live : French R2 disc is heavily cropped : see comparison here. Vampires : French R2 disc's color palette looks off to me : see comparison here...

    Black Christmas (1974) - Think we'll get a 16x9 release this December?

    I wonder what aspect ratio it will be... The R2 UK disc was in 1.78:1 but looked overmatted to me. I hope it will be "true" anamorphic 1.66:1. Here's a comparison I made from existing discs.

    About the Vampires comparison, I don't agree at all with Nicholas Sheffo. I've seen the movie in theater, when it came out in France, and it looked exactly as the R1 releases. As far as I know, the use of color filters was intentional and was discussed a lot when the movie came out in 1998.
