make sure you tell Spielberg that. :lol Directors shoot for the theater, not so you can view it in full screen on your TV at home. Either zoom it or enjoy it.

Practically zero movies are shot in 16:9. 99% are either 2.35:1 or 1.85:1.

A) 90% of people don't have HDTVs (16:9)
B) Movies have been filmed for many decades before 16:9 became any sort of standard.
 
im just saying there should be a standard ratio for TV, games, movies at theatre, movies on dvd/bluray so those fucking black bars dont show their color. That would be logical, no? dont say to me it's always been like that, that's not a reason.

You are pretty much shitting on artistic/creative intergrity when you force one ratio on all filmmakers.
 
another problem: I rented (see? improvement there) the other boleyn girl too and its not showing on the ps3 menu. I took it back to the videoclub, the girl gave me another one and its still not working.

is the ps3 blocking it for some reason or the 2 bluray were broken?

um, is it saying BDMV instead of The Other Boleyn Girl? That's okay.. some movies don't show the name in the menu.
 
that's my thread it is normal i post a lot in it. Stop analysing my account theres nothing to find about me. Im on this board for a few gaming infos and to ask questions like those in this thread on different subjects i know you guys have the answers 99% of the time.

i took the other boleyn girl to the videoclub and i exchanged it for a DVD movie this time. The guy told me that watching movies on my ps3 could broke the reading eye...He's bullshitting me, right?

now i'll see if there a significant difference between a bluray like rambo and a dvd.

Dude, you didn't hear that the Blu-ray drive on the PS3 dies after you watch 5 movies? It's actually only a DEMO of a Blu-ray player.

I'd be careful.
 
:lol Oh man.


I'll be nice and help you out. Movies are filmed in a variety of different formats, and some of them are actually WIDER than widescreen tvs. You can't ever escape TEH BLACK BARZ.

Awesome, just awesome. I'm glad you meant "rent" because the new Rambo movie is nothing to rant about. Just pure awesome.

On topic; As people have mentioned, the movie uses a 2.35:1 aspect ratio, so even on a 16:9 screen you still get black bars on the top and bottom. You can use your TV's zoom/stretch function to get rid of the bars, but you'll lprobably be slightly cropping the left and right sides. In either case, it's no biggy.

I was in Quebec City a couple of weeks ago... it f*cking rocked.

what did you do there?

I was there for a conference at the convention centre downtown across from the Hilton. I went out to a bunch of places near there, too (I don't remember the names of the places... Degobar, Ozone, a few others... it's hard to remember). Either way, it was a four day bender, and I loved the city for it. I found it to be a much better atmosphere than Toronto, too.
 
Heh, that spelling error made me laugh, don't know why.

Movies in theatres are shown in 1.85:1 and 2.39:1 formats (from Wikipedia, didn't know it by heart). Your TV, 16:9 is 1.78:1.

I had to explain that to many customers when I used to set up Home Theatres. Speaking of which, I used to do that when I was with GeekSquad 4 years ago to get extra revenue (people don't want to pay $200 to have their PC setup, but will pay $200 to have their HT setup), and I got in trouble with Best Buy for many reasons for doing so. They tried to make me stop, and after a while I had to give in (because some reasons were good, ie. insurance).

I recently open up a BB flyer and what do I see...GeekSquad now doing HT setups! I'm a fucking pioneer! But y'all knew that anyway...I'm fucking FightyF.

glad you had a good time in my city. Quebec is more friendly and "casual" than those big city like montreal and toronto.

yeah i know now. But that's still annoying. Seriously,who really cares about having a little larger image? Wouldn't you prefer having your screen filled?

Not if you end up cropping out other parts of the film that are supposed to be there...

yeah i know. Im saying i doubt people would complain if movies were all filmed in 16:9. That way it would fill your screen and you would not lose part of the image

Frank, these movies are filmed FOR theatres NOT your TV. When directors are creating their film they are primarily concerned with what the viewers will see IN THE THEATRE. Using a wider image than 16:9 looks awesome in a movie theatre.

Just live with the black bars. Some movies will have them, some will not.
 
personnally, i couldn't care less about the larger aspect ratio we get in some movies at theatre...Where i care is when i rent the movie and it shows black bars....Im sure thats the case with majority of people.

by the way someone has numbers regarding the profit filmakers make at theatre and the profit they make with Blurays and DVD ?
