Word is you are about to release a bunch of very desirable titles in pan-and-scan format at a low (i.e. Wal-Mart-friendly) price, including COLOSSUS: THE FORBIN PROJECT and CHARLY VARRICK.
Well, almost no one here, out of many thousands, will be buying those. Multiply us by those belonging to other forums and those who much more quietly abhor the emasculation of art. COLOSSUS, especially, relies upon its entire 2.35:1 frame for providing details. I've seen a pan-and-scan version of this. It is worse than horrible, it is a travesty! If you really feel the need to go full-screen crazy, why not release these :
TARANTULA
THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING MAN
THIS ISLAND EARTH
NEVER GIVE A SUCKER AND EVEN BREAK
IF I HAD A MILLION
DOUBLE INDEMNITY
and the list goes on and on...
PLEASE RECONSIDER PRESENTING ALL YOUR FILMS IN OAR, or at least in both OAR and widescreen on separate layers. Don't shoot yourselves in the foot the way Columbia and Disney do.
Damn, we were starting to believe you people were coming around, too. Why not prove us right?
