Fills the screen for people who like that and isn't different enough to really piss off the enthusiasts.

This is a good analysis. Because of the butchering caused by pick and scan cropping of 2.35:1 widescreen images to 1.33:1 to fit the screens of old time SDTVs, we purists tended to get defensive whenever it happened. For example, I still hate, hate, hate that HBO, and others, crop 2.35:1 widescreen images to 1.78:1 in order to fill HDTV screens. OAR purist though I may be, though, I confess that I am not bothered by the cropping of 1.85:1 images to 1.78.1 to fill the TV screen. I think the rule of law de minimis non curat lex fits in such cases: "The law does not concern itself with trifles"

I just got MoS, BvS, and JL on 4K last week and was able to binge them on Sunday cuz I had nothing to do. That was jarring to see the screen filled by JL after those other two weren't. It was very welcoming, though. All three films looked awesome.

Do they ever really crop them? I was under the impression they were all open-matte. I could be wrong though.

It depends. Some films are open matte but as I understand it many more are not. Also, the amount of viewable image lost by cropping 2.35:1 widescreen film to 4:3 is dramatic. Can't find the exact amount now but seem to recall that it is between 35 and 40 percent.

Choose sides. Here'some sticks.

Pathetic little group here.


Marvel has made a lot of terribly basic movies, but you will never see the hate for it like in any DC/Snyder thread. I've been on this site a few years. Yup same people/haters here. If you can mature up guys.

Umm...no one has said a negative word about DC or Snyder in this thread since at least September.

As opposed to you? You mature first, and then maybe, just maybe, we'll follow suit.

Besides I don't really recollect any bashing going on in this thread recently, in fact your unwarranted attack is the first of any kind as of late.

Perhaps you just like stirring the pot.

I didn't get a chance to see it in theaters, but caught it on bluray. I actually enjoyed the movie. Granted there are many issues with the script and different scenes, but overall it wasn't too bad. I do wish that Snyder actually had the chance to film the movie he wanted to close things out. But family comes first.

I also think the rumored corporate mandate for a 2 hour movie was not a good idea. I don't like long movies, but this one definitely needed more than 2 hours to flesh things out.

Oh I know they did for 4:3 VHS, I was talking about Warner's 1.78:1 discs. I was under the impression they were pretty much all expanded, rather than cropped.

YES. And Spawn turned out so well didn't it?!

Oh, I see what you are saying now. I do agree that 2.35:1 films are expanded rather than cropped. My objection to the process remains, though, because a good deal of the left and right sides of the image is no longer viewable when the film is shown 1.78:1.

I think we're still talking about different things because Warner doesn't expand 2.35 movies to fill the TV, only 1.85 ones.

HBO and some cable channels do crop 2.35 movies to fill the screen though.

Yeah, I was talking about HBO and some other movie channels that do expand films to fill the screen. I have always appreciated that TCM has never done that.

It's a shame this movie is such a mess because good god is the HDR wonderful.
