Dear All,
I want to know why all widescreen broadcasts are now 16:9 ?
Make any sense ?
There was a day when people complained that films where shown on TV that filled the screen (i.e., missing loads of actual filmed width).
Now, with the UK population brainwashed into believing w/s is FAB, I now have to put up with DVD's and SKY Premier w/s content that is telecine'd to 16:9 and NOT actual format - just so that it panders to the w/s posse ?
What, exactly, is wrong with showing a cinemascope format film within the anamorphic 16:9 format ?
Okay, you have just spent GBP 2000000 on a w/s TV. So, you will have black bars ! Why does the picture have to fill you're screen ? To justify the expense ;-)
Its like history repeating repeating itself.
Have Fun,
Mark.
