Scenes in movies that look better panned and scanned...
Time

My first exposure to the star wars trilogy was in pan and scan. Nowadays I know better, and for the most part prefer seeing the films in the original widescreen format. In ROTJ, during the scene where R2 cuts through the Ewoks net, in the original widescreen, you see the ewoks immediately when our heroes (for lack of a better phrase) fall down. In the pan and scan version, the heroes fall down, and the Ewoks come out of nowhere and walk over. I prefer the delay of the Ewoks apperence the fullscreen cut provides, but I doubt that I would want to see the whole movie like that. Do any of you prefer certain scenes in movies panned and scanned?

So I said something so unusual that I manage to flabbergast you.

I should get a medal for that :P

...

Back on topic. I pointed out those two examples because they may seem unlikely, but they exist. I don't know this "director of Tokyo Drift", but he could surprise everybody with what he is offering on the plate.

My point is, just because it sounds outrageous, doesn't mean it can't work.

Wow... I never had a hatred of voyager that many people have, but...that was insane. I honestly never noticed how many times people in the show said "some X of..."

At least Voyager wasn't Enterprise, which turned me off partway of the first episode, or the first JJ Abrams Trek movie, which between the sex scene with the green woman (not a fan of sex scenes in movies in general) and the blinding lens flare, made my eyes bleed...I guess I'm saying that Voyager wasn't the lowest the franchise could go.

What is your personal Star Trek canon?

This is my personal literary Star Trek canon list.

This is stuff I have read, and I continue to re-read.

If it's not on the list, I did not read it, or I did not consider it worthy

of considering cannon.

This is where it all ends for me!
