I am not so very good at the role playing. What I am good at is butchering the English language so I will role play a native English speaker whose grammar is worse than a foreigner on vacation.
On that note, interesting turn of events. Who did I vote for yesterday I think it was Spak and he managed to survive so I am not sure.
I don't normally follow the leader I do my own thing but today I think Khush is onto something so I too Vote Stevey
Let's hope it is more than just an app that lets you view Let's Play videos officially sanctioned by Nintendo. I like the idea of a unified account system so when I migrate, if I migrate, to the next hardware I don't loose any games.
Its just odd to pick the FS as the main one to me I guess.
See, you're confused again. It's not my "main" one. I already own Widescreen on DVD and again on Blu in the Terminator Anthology. Which I already mentioned in this thread you've replied to.
That assumes I actually read the post, all I read was the title and skimmed the replies. But then we are on the same page in owning both versions.
Trust me, BnM, I speculated the same thing about a month or so ago and everyone told me I was wrong.
BlackNMild has been pushing the hybrid idea hard for a couple years now. And even then, it's something that has been kicked around by everyone for years before that.

So... you're wrong.
Subtle. The spirit of TJ lives on, it seems.
I was mainly musing on the codename. I'm not convinced Nintendo is willing to give up this business model. It wants to sell people two separate devices. Nintendo has historically had to be dragged kicking and screaming away from its old ways so I'd be surprised to see a hybrid sooner rather than later. I don't want to get too far off topic though. If I'm not too lazy later, I'll finally start a new thread I've been meaning to post.
This is kicking and screaming. The market has been demanding this for a decade so its not like it is a brand new idea just recently thrown out there.
I was almost looking forward to this game but only if it offered online play as I have literally nobody local to play with. But if motion controls are a forced part of it count me out I can live without that waggle crap.
it's Uncle Bob's fault for bragging about buying a Full Screen DVD in this day and age. If this was 2005 nobody would have even noticed. Read my comment again, I agree which is why I own both versions of the film. Its just odd to pick the FS as the main one to me I guess.
They also talked about a bottle that you could see fall on full screen but disappeared on widescreen. Frankly, I thought the thread was a bit inconclusive as a few commenters talked about liking the widescreen version and others the full screen. In this case, I understand why the full screen version may be more sought after but it seems to be a fault in either the editing process or the choice of the director's framing. It seems like an odd case to me but you've obviously been doing your homework on it.
Usually, the difference between widescreen and full screen is what is shown in this little video from TCM. It's a cropping of the sides of the frame but not the top and bottom which makes the T3 case so weird. It's like they zoomed in on a full screen image to make it widescreen and that's just terrible camerawork.
Not true its called open matting and it was the industry standard for decades, its how we are able to have WS and FS versions of so many movies. Its much better than Pan and Scan where they literally take a camera and zoom it in on a projection of the film and re-record it to video. People often confuse Pan and Scan for open matte they are not the same thing and depending on the movie the FS and WS versions can be identical in quality if they were cropped correctly when shot. T3 was shot open matte and cropped for 2.35.1 for theatrical and then cropped again to 2.40.1 for the DVD. The Blu Ray is the proper format but its got a glitch where it shows in 1080i instead of 1080p so you have to check UPC codes to get the right versions.
Over all is a bottle dropping off the cliff really that important to the STORY? Not at tall. Like I said there is no consensus everyone has their preferences. Blu Ray buffs, especially those who really care about quality and presentation, prefer the theatrical framing because that was what was intended, the unfortunate framing you see on the DVD full frame is a side effect of the film being made a time when more people had square and not flat TV's.
Its like Buffy the Vampire Slayer or ST:TNG, they were shot on wide screen film and cropped for TV, there was a HUGE up roar when the blu ray's were announced were going to be WS and not FS. It isn't usually what looks best or gives you the better picture, most fans or people who are into this stuff, want what matches the original presentation, OAR or Original Aspect Ratio. ST:TNG looks awesome in WS but most fans want it cropped because that is what they remember. This is a similar situation which is why I tend to buy both versions when available to choose which one I prefer. Normally I go with wide more often then not but if OAR is 4x3 then I go with 4x3 except stuff like Friends or 70's show where the WS is better even though the framing is somewhat sloppy as a result. It was shot in WS and cropped for full frame but those two instance it looks better wide. Its a title by title situation.
I have both versions I like the wide screen better, the framing is consistent with the other movies and it crops stuff out but it crops out stuff you don't need. Its like the WS Buffy DVD's nobody wants that. But yeah boobs were all that thread you linked to discussed.
I am a regular member of the Blu Ray forum as well, and the consensus there is the Wide Screen is the correct one, as it matches what was shown theatrically, which is what most Blu Ray fans are into. There are those fringe folks who care less about theatrical release and just want what they consider best so to each their own I suppose.
Full Screen? FULL SCREEN?! You know nothing about proper movie watching.....
Actually, I'd argue that your statement should be...

Terminator 3? TERMINATOR 3?! You know nothing about proper movie watching.....
But, aside from that, apparently, basically, T3 was filmed in full-frame, then matted to widescreen.
This thread goes into more detail on it, including a picture that I don't want to repost here, that does a pretty good job of showing the difference.
That is how A LOT of films are shot, especially older films when square TV's were the norm. They did that to make it EASIER to make full screen editions for square tv's. The norm now is widescreen. The Wide screen is the proper presentation, regardless of how it was filmed its not how it was presented in theaters which is what matters.
If you actually follow the links to the theatrical and DVD comparisons they are very, very close, the Full Screen versions is a mess, the only "benefit" are the boob shots so if that is all you want go a head but the rest of the movie looks better cropped the way it was meant to be.
Now that my cover is blown on my two primary accounts, this and the long hidden but most useful Khushrenada, I have decided it is time to go back into hiding. Maybe I will get some more use out of my Lucario account. That one seems to get people worked up.
If Nintendo has any say in it they will hold it off till E3. This has to be their big year because I get the feeling Sony is prepared to step it up now that they are gaining traction in Japan. They could take Xbox out of the equation with a few key partnerships and Sony has the money, good will, and muscle to do that. Microsoft has the money but that ain't enough anymore.
that was me playing along. It was kind of a joke. I don't know who he is outside of a couple times I saw his name on the news. To be fair, I am white, I used to make rap music, and I too am very unpopular. So when you connect the dots hey we could be the same guy or he could be my long lost cousin. In which case he owes me money.
Alright so I buy a CD from Amazon, title is not important, what is important is the CD never arrives and after a month the seller refunds my money. No big deal must have gotten lost in the mail. I check Amazon seller has item in stock and the price has gone up since I first ordered and seller had item listed as Out of Stock after my last order.
It was supposed to be random, first it is Sunday I always get weird on Sunday. Second its in the Funhouse I never ask serious questions here. Except that time I asked if I should be king of the forums and they closed the topic once the poll reached 100 yes to 1 no. I was the only no vote. I didn't want that kind of power.
Math, the question was what are the odds, that is a math question. The song, it is the Deadbeat Club, it wasn't relevant to the story it's not like it was one of their major hits that always comes on the radio like Private Idaho or Love Shack or Channel Z, I didn't even think it was a single.
I am watching That 70's Show on Netflix. I also have the series on DVD but it is so much easier to just start up the Netflix. I am sitting here going through the show once again and I realize they are really teetering on the whole Fenton and Fez being either homosexual or bi-sexual. In the pilot they kids were at a concert and met a gay couple and then there was buddy in season one then all of a sudden they dropped all gay references outside a few you know random comments as jokes from time to time. Fenton, or is if Phenton? Anyways he made some comments that kind of got me thinking.
Anyone that was actually around in the 70's was it illegal to be gay, openly I mean, or just socially unacceptable? Some of his comments made it sound like it wasn't just taboo but actually illegal. Also Fez comes off as a little too comfortable with his bi-sexuality for the period. I always wondered if that was just because the show was made in our modern times or were things more complicated then that? I was a kid in the 80's and I remember watching the LGBT thing become a major force so I just assumed it all began in the 90's but I guess it might have been around in the 70's. I just remember from Revenge of the Nerds and Police Academy I got the impression being gay was a serious taboo at that time period. I remember the lesbian thing on Friends caused a lot of stir but that was like early to mid 90's.
Also in season 6 Kelso comes back from police academy and he is wearing what looks like a pretty modern Reebok shirt. I was wondering if Reebok had shirts like that then or if they even existed then?
Okay so there is a certain song by the B-52's that I used to listen to all the time. It was like my number 3 favorite song by them. I used to listen to their tape over and over when I was younger. This song I haven't hard it in maybe 20 years or so, I was in middle school so it was a while back. Just the other day I buy the CD and listen to the song on repeat a couple of times because it takes me back and I still really enjoy the song. These guys are one of my favorite bands so I am surprised it took me this long to get the CD. I haven't heard the song since I was in middle school and today I walk into a convenience store and this very song is playing on the radio its not even at the starts its already up to my favorite part. Now what are the odds of that happening because I was actually thinking of the song earlier today. Am I psychic, or what?
Too bad George Lucas and James Cameron are not good friends, otherwise he could just go back and photoshop the words PRESS THIS on the side so she knows which one to press ahead of time. But once you go down the dark path of editing your films to "fix" your previous mistakes forever will it dominate your destiny.
