Watching Aliens with H (widescreen)

[wednes]

Why would anyone ever want to watch a formatted movie if they didn't have to?

Widescreen is the only real way to watch it.

That is my thought for the day; one to grow on, if you will.

H and I are going to try and write a horror story together. Should be interesting to see what we accomplish, I don't normally write with other people because I'm way too opinionated and stubborn (I know some of you are shocked to learn this). I'm just trying to think of what kind of horror is suitable to me.

I like the kind with crazy people who do horrible things for very sane reasons...
Like se7en, only sexier and more crazy.

So tell me, what thing in a movie or book scares you the most?

Alternatively, Mr. Van Gogh can use Super 35. o.o

Yeah, I'm familiar with all that info. My little scenario listed above was a way I had a prof in college tell us how awful (to many of us) the 4:3 aspect ratio was for film. Sometimes people don't realize how much they could be missing, but that doesn't seem to be the case here, so I say more power to you.

Cheers.

I still think Starry Night would look fucked up as a square.

Your prof needs to be reminded that 4:3 was around first. And that filmakers choose to be difficult. :p

Actually, I hear several directors prefer Super35.

Ah well - whatever floats our boat, right?. I'm content with standard, for the most part, so I'll live.
