WB has had a recent history of BIG screwups. First the Kubrick set rushed out to cash in on his death. At the time they said "the set was approved by Mr. Kubrick". Terrible transfers and all. Sure it was. That's why they reissued it 8 or so months later. WB infers that Superman will be rereleased to theatres. They prepare a new trailer for just that. Then their marketing department decides to test the water by running the pic in San Antonio (what market reserach told them to go to that city?) during the height of NCAA "March Madness". Poor attendance and they scrap plans for any major theatrical re-release. Now Willy. They again use "market research" - and decide to leave off the widescreen version. Why not leave it on? They did it the first time. No big deal, it wouldn't hurt would it? The producer of the DVD tells everyone that it will be both. Was he lying? Was he lied to? Does anybody at WB even care about the movies?
WB circles the wagons all too often. Deny, deny, deny. They simply have no respect for the consumer This is a company made up of "loonies" I'm afraid.
Da, da that's all folks.
