    Harry Potter and the C of S: WB have dropped P&S version in the UK!

    As the subject line... visitors to the HTF last year may remember reading in the Harry Potter-related threads that Warners had put out a separate P&S version of Philosopher's (or Sorcerer's :) ) Stone in the UK, and that this was the first time a separate P&S DVD had been tried in the UK...

    Training Day: Super 35 or Panavision?

    Hi, Could someone confirm whether Training Day was shot in Super 35 or with anamorphic lenses? IMdB says it's Super 35, but I watched the film last night and elliptical highlights were clearly visible. I thought that these are artifacts introduced by anamorphic lenses? -- J.

    Glengarry Glen Ross Super 35 composition: WOW!!

    Hi, I just picked up GGR. In common with a lot of people, I've only ever seen this on TV. It looked OK, like your average TV movie, and I was surprised to hear that it was shown theatrically at 2.35:1. I wasn't sure why the director wanted to use such a wide ratio for a film that was mostly...

    Enigma - R1 aspect ratio?

    Hi, I've just watched the UK R2 rental version of Enigma. It's framed at 16:9 rather than the correct 2.35:1. I was hoping that it was shot in Super 35 with the mattes opened up, but the fact that the framing looked tight all the way through, and the end credits were framed at 2.35:1...

    Reminder: Harry Potter - first big P&S-only release (in Australia)

    Hi, Just thought I'd remind y'all to sign this petition for the release of Harry Potter in a WS version in Australia. YES, I know it's Australia we're talking about, and all of us lucky people in the US and UK are getting their WS version. But if the P&S-only release is judged a success by...

    Moulin Rouge Pan&Scam

    Has anyone checked out the VHS Moulin Rouge... I'm wondering if it's P&S, or widescreen/semi-widescreen like Pearl Harbour. MR contains so many shots where the full width of the frame is used... many at the beginning of the film where you see the bohemians from left to right. If there was ever...

    Glengarry Glen Ross

    Can someone confirm what DVD studio/label owns the rights to GGR? I can't wait for a decent release of this film. The UK R2 is pathetic bare-bones P&S, so I'm not buying :angry: -- J.
