Guest brokentusk16 Posted March 29, 2002 Report Posted March 29, 2002 I heard that the Lord of the Rings DVD is coming out soon, has anybody heard when?
Guest starvenger Posted March 29, 2002 Report Posted March 29, 2002 According to IGN DVD, the "basic" 2 DVD set comes out Aug 6. A 4-disc Special Extended Edition comes out Nov 12. (edit)Reading a little bit further on, there's a Widescreen and a Pan and Scam version of the 2-disc set, so make sure you look carefully before you buy...
Guest TUS_02 Posted March 29, 2002 Report Posted March 29, 2002 To further what star said... the 2 disk set is going to have the movie, and the second disk is going to be an assload of behind the scene interviews, etc... with (I think) a Two Towers preview. I think it's like 10 minutes long. 4 disk set - 2 of the disks are going to be for the movie alone. And besides director commentary (ABOUT FUCKING TIME PETER JACKSON!!!!! ) the other extras have yet to be disclosed.
Guest areacode212 Posted March 29, 2002 Report Posted March 29, 2002 What the hell is the point of coming out with separate Pan & Scan and Widescreen versions of a movie? Are there STILL people out there who say "I hate those black bars! I want this to fill my entire TV screen!"
Guest starvenger Posted March 29, 2002 Report Posted March 29, 2002 Are there STILL people out there who say "I hate those black bars! I want this to fill my entire TV screen!" Yep.
Guest Max Danger Posted March 30, 2002 Report Posted March 30, 2002 Yes, my dad HATES widescreen. I just don't get it.
Guest Big McLargeHuge Posted March 30, 2002 Report Posted March 30, 2002 Yup. Trying to explain that those black bars actually expose MORE of the film has been pretty useless and only supplied with looks of ignorance. I don't get why they just don't have the option of choosing the screen ratio.
Guest kkktookmybabyaway Posted March 30, 2002 Report Posted March 30, 2002 <<<Are there STILL people out there who say "I hate those black bars! I want this to fill my entire TV screen!">>> Yep. Although I'm happy to say that I got the girlfriend addicted to WS format. DVD question: Why are some wide screen formats "bigger" than others (eg. 1:85 ration to 2:35, etc) Do the larger widescreens leave out bits of the picture? Just curious...

Just curious... Nope. Check out the DVD FAQ for more information than I could possibly provide, and specifically this section which details some stuff aboat widescreen.
Guest El Satanico Posted March 30, 2002 Report Posted March 30, 2002 At one time i was also one of the people who didn't like the "black bars". Now i don't like watching movies that aren't shown in widescreen. If all of the people who claim to hate widescreen actually sat down and watched 5 or 6 widescreen movies without bitching aboot them a majority would be converted easily.

In my experiences, most of the people I know who detest the black bars are older and have grown up watching movies on TV full screen. Much like other topics -- racism, Social Security, etc. -- you'll just have to wait until those that grew up thinking one particular way die off before any change is possible...
