Should Pan and Scan versions be preserved...

Should Pan and Scan versions be preserved? I know they arent the directors intention but it is a unique version of the film that can rarely be found now, and sometimes they use the open matte version to make the P&S when no modern release has an open matte, making it valuable.

>DUDE JUST CUT OFF 30% OF THE SHOT SO THAT IT LOOKS WIDER THAN IT REALLY IS!!1!
Widescreen niggers should be shot.

Only if you keep the terrible overdubbing and period correct commericals.

35mm film is 4:3 by nature so there's no way to get a pire widescreen film unless they redesigned all film cameras with some special "wide" film

wait what? is that from star trek? that is clearly the moon building RITA lives in in the power rangers.

Did they use the same building??

yeah its a popular spot for sci fi films, its some building in California

I once came across a huge list of movies where the pan and scan version has nudity that isn’t visible in the widescreen version. So yes. Pic related.

I think they should be. They’re a valuable teaching tool.

it was actually the command center in power rangers

I have this autistic thing I do in my head when I'm watching a movie where I imagine which parts of the frame I would cut out if I was making a pan and scan VHS

For some reason Titanic 3D BD release used an open matte version so people have cut a copy to release

>people have cut a copy to release
elaborate

I assume they found a way to convert the 3D down to regular 2D.
forget what i said. all that matters is that you can torrent the open matte version. problem is that is has the 2012 BD orange/cyan color grading on it.

4:3 is optimal aspect ratio for human eyes

looks like they change it a bit for different productions, google images has a bunch of different modified shots of it for different shows

vs DVD release color grading

Do all directors do this? Have everything just outside the frame be ass and titties? What is the benefit?

damn, I've love something in the middle with a straight 16:9 crop. That way it would look biggest on my television

this one looks nice but like a dream
this one looks more real

open matte is 16:9 i believe compared to 2:35 so it would play full on your screen

and the scanned 35mm version

I'm autistic, so I'll say yes, every version of all media is deserving of preservation, not matter how terrible and pointless it is.

Only tangentially related but man I wish there was a do for the colorized version of Yankee Doodle Dandy

Bridget Fonda is hot as hell thanks for posting her butt

Pan & scan isn't the same as open matte. Open matte should be preserved, but pan & scan absolutely shouldn't.

A good portion of the jokes in Ghostbusters are things happening off to the side and they all get cut off in pan & scan

It's also Lore's HQ in Descent

Kentucky Fried Movie, the shower scene you can see more ladyflesh in the trailer Catholic High School Girls in Trouble.

Yes. Especially television shows. I really wish the HD X-Files were in 4:3

>35mm film is 4:3 by nature
wtf are you talking about? It's not 4:3 all the time.

I think open matte should be preserved on movies in Super 35 so the fake 2:35 anamorphic frame fill up the 16:9 frame.

The film distributor should just do what Kino and other distributors of old films do, and just release the film in 4:3 ratio.
Most TVs can fucking stretch the image or expand the image and crop the top and bottom for mongs who don’t like nlack bars on the fucking screen.

That guy knows fuck all. I have some 35mm film (Star Wars) and it is not 4:3, it's widescreen image. Some of those images are matted off, though.

*Matted off in other films, not Star Wars

They did that in the Recruit. Was 2:35 in the theater then they reframed it in 16:9 for widescreen TV

Jennifer Anniston too
