Okay, the french TV broadcast of the first two episode is a terrible, TERRIBLE mess.

Full 16:9 pan&scan... the horror... (No CGI yoda, of course.) Looks like the 80's all over again. First the crawl is in the correct ratio (if not you could not read the text) then BLAM! 16:9 zoom.

The worst part is that the audience was huge behind the screen, but people who like movies are really disgusted. I know there is even a petition somewhere against that kind of practice now.

TF1HD usualy zoom their movies in 16:9, but I had hope that M6HD would not, I was wrong. Alien also got that same treatment.

M6HD did a lot of promotion for this event (all 6 movies in HD) but it ends as a big fiasco. Shame on them.

TMBTM - an angry french guy. :/
