Of the 3, the only one that was INTENDED to be shown in fullscreen is the first one. The other two were shot soft-matte, as many 1.85:1 movies are. That means that all information is recorded, but the director/D.P. shoots for 1.85:1. Often they'll tape cardboard over the parts of the screen that will be cut later, so they can concentrate on the intended frame rather than the extraneous parts. Soft-matte filming is done because that way any fullscreen release won't lose information. However, that's when you get errors like boom mikes falling into frame and such. Nowadays most movies are shot hard-matte (which cuts off the top and bottom of the frame as it is being recorded, so that part of the frame never touches film), because home-video widescreen is more acceptable nowadays.
But anyway, I'd love to see this edit - it sounds awesome. And I'll definitely be checking out that R3 disc ... very intriguing ...
Also, Rikter - I looked at the first post and was very interested in these edits - I hope you'll post them on MySpleen soon, but no rush - you've already done so much for us, how can anyone ask any more of you?
