More on the WGA strike.

The wrong aspect ratios on DVDs and lying covers

This is one of my pet peeves these days and it really is very frustrating to people like me who give a damn. Lucky for me though it's only happened one time when I actually purchased a dvd and the other times where when I rented them. 

My Latest encounter unfortunately was with the Black Sheep Collectors edition, I don't want to single it out but it's the most recent example. Black Sheep is actually a double whammy, The Film was shot on Super 35 for the 2:35:1 aspect ratio which I loved and enjoyed in the film

. Then I go over to my friends place to watch his copy of the movie which is apparently the "Special edition" and despite the fact that it says 2:35:1 anamorphic wide screen on the box...

The Film is presented in 16:9 widescreen! 

The average Joe Blog or Joe Blows or whatever you want to call the chap might not care but when I purchase a DVD I expect to watch the film as it was intended to be seen in the cinema. 

Come on guys pay attention when you make these things. 

Finally I understand the writers strike!

At first I didn't really understand it, what do they want? turns out those scum bag studios have been holding out on them! 

Check out this video it explains all.
