"P.S. I read the anamophic faq things posted in the forum days earlier so get off the subject."
Read? Perhaps. Comprehended? You were never on, much less anywhere near, the subject to begin with.
"Unprocessed, unretouched raw bitmap screenshot from an early attempt at Super 8 film reel capture. Apologies if it's a tad huge!"
OMG! It ALMOST looks...........ANAMORPHIC! 
"I don't need to fit in with the fanboys who blindly hate Lucas. While we are on the subject of changing aspect ratios we should make up wish lists."
Is it possible that the pot and the kettle can refer to the same person?
"hahaha there is a cancer in you ranks fanboys."
Maybe in your rank, not in ours - though I agree he is rank.
"The aspect ratio had no name but that is the dimentions used."
Aspect ratio and dimensions are two entirely different things. It's amazing how much you continue to prove how little you know with each new clarification. The "dimensions" of each shot of the film reels are nowhere near the "dimensions" of the actual projected image in a movie theater, in case you weren't aware of that. (Nor would they necessarily be the same between adjacent theaters, depending on the size of each theater). Hell, in the case of Silverwook's Super 8, the dimensions and the aspect ratio of the film frames are not the same as the projected image. So much for your quiant reasoning.
BTW, ran across this on TF.n. 
Well, I saw the official news. It’s almost funny. It’s like Lucas has become a bad parody of himself. It’s like watching someone do a bad George Lucas impression, as they over-exaggerate every one of his tendencies. But with the official news, LucasFilm is also ready to start advertising these DVDs. And since I’m paid up and connected with the right people, I was sent an early transcript of the new commercials and I thought I’d share it with my fellow bashers.
The sound blares as the THX logo appears on screen informing us that this commercial has been digitally mastered for the best possible audio. This is followed by a notice saying, “This commercial is being offered in anamorphic widescreen for supreme picture quality.”
Big, bold letters begin to appear on screen.
IN 1977...
...ONE FILM CAPTURED THE WORLD’S IMAGINATION...
...THIS SEPTEMBER...
...IT’S BACK!
The Star Wars logo triumphantly appears onscreen accompanied by the familiar force fanfare blasting through the speakers. Shots from the original unaltered movies begin to appear on screen. But since the commercial is in anamorphic widescreen and the movies are not, the screenshots from the new DVDs look ridiculously small and blurry and are surrounded by resolution robbing black bars.
...ON SEPTEMBER 12TH...
...SEE THE ORIGINAL STAR WARS...
...AS YOU FIRST SAW THEM...
...ON LASERDISC IN 1993.
Sound effect of the needle being violently yanked off a record player. Shot of an ewok tilting his head back and forth in confusion.
VOICE-OVER: Yes, that’s right. Due to overwhelming fan demand, LucasFilm is proud to provide your chance to see Star Wars as it originally appeared on Laserdisc. After an extensive search of the LucasFilm archives...
Shot of a pile of dusty old film reels entitled Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi mixed in with rotten banana peels and empty soda cans.
VOICE-OVER: ...it was found that only the laserdisc masters had survived and most of the original film prints had deteriorated beyond repair...
Slow pan-up from the pile of dusty old film reels to reveal George Lucas standing above the pile. He gives the camera a wink and a nod then whips out a flame-thrower and promptly torches the pile.
VOICE-OVER: ...due to, uh, natural causes.
Shot of Lucas looking up from the still smoking pile of ash that used to be original film prints of the movies, he looks in the camera and gives a big smile and thumbs-up.
VOICE-OVER: The original movies you all loved so much will be included as bonus material to the 2004 Special Editions, since it seems this is the only way to get you mangy pack of defiant ingrates to buy Lucas’ ultimate vision for Star Wars, you make me sick, you bunch of stinkin’ bottom feeders. Why I oughta---
Sound effect of someone being clubbed over the head with a crowbar and dragged from the room. A new and different voice continues with the voice-over narration. Tiny, grainy screenshots from the new DVDs continue to roll on screen.
VOICE-OVER: That’s right, don’t miss your chance to yet again buy the 2004 versions. And since this release includes leftover, unsold copies of the 2004 Special Editions and shoddy letterbox transfers of the original editions from laserdisc, the only money we spent was hiring a three-legged, drunk and disgruntled goat to photoshop the cover art. Yes, LucasFilm is the only company capable of releasing a DVD set miles below industry standard and still have you pathetic nerds pawning your pocket protectors and calculator watches to crawl back and beg for more Star Wars! BWAHAHAHAHAHA---
Again we hear the sound effect of someone being clubbed over the head with a crowbar and dragged from the room. And again a new and different voice continues with the voice-over narration. Barely visible screenshots of the Han shooting first and Death Star explosion minus Stargate ring occupy roughly 50% of the screen
VOICE-OVER: Money, money, money! Gimme, gimme, gimme!
Yet again we hear the sound effect of someone being clubbed over the head with a crowbar and dragged from the room. And yet again a new voice continues with the voice-over narration as more fuzzy images of the original movies appear on screen.
VOICE-OVER: These DVDs are available in a limited release for a limited time with limited quality, so pre-order now at starwars.com! And on September 12th sit back, relax, grab you binoculars and squint at the magic of the original Star Wars on DVD!
DISCLAIMER: Any rebroadcast or coping of this commercial is punishable by tar and feathering.
