Time
Pan&Scan is a techinique for adapting a 16:9 or 2.35:1 film into a 4:3 ratio (a fullscreen TV). It crops the image in the middle, sometimes moving the selected part of the screen to the left or to the right. Sometimes this create a noticeable jerky camera movement to the right or to the left, when a character moves from one part of the screen to another, for example. So far the best example on how horrible pan&scan really is is the fullscreen version of "close encounters", the pan&scan movement happens on almost every scene, and it's so annoying the movie gets almost unwatchable.

That would be great... HE is so SCI FI - (Stargate, "3rd Rock from the Sun" and Clockstoppers) ...


but he is from Albuquerque!


Well I meant that for a joke of course, I belive casting French Stewart is a sure way to put a bullet between the eyes of your movie or TV show.

He was in Stargate? The TV series, right? Now... a Stargate-spinoff TV series with French Stewart, that's TOO horrible to be true.

So they sought out Wal Mart to help them out. Wal Mart forced them to start packaging their pickles in big gallon jugs instead of the traditional smaller jars that Vlassic always sold them in. Wal Mart would then sell these jugs for $2.99 each. When all was said and done, Vlassic made only 3 cents per jar of pickles sold. Some deal, eh?


There's this huge supermarket chain here, like Walmart but more diverse (they own like, 4 different supermarket chains), they do the same thing to their suppliers, they practically extort them the same way wallmart does. I know because I used to work for them, I worked at their B2C department for 2 and a half years, and they also treated they employees like garbage. They had all those "life quality" programs, but they underpayed, made the employees work like mules and if any of them complained, they said "well there's someone unemploied who wants your job for half what you get, so shut up", and the management was so freaking dumb! Like the boss in "Dilbert", only dumber...

Nausicaa...

I avoid watching anime being distributed thru the USA. Nothing against america! It's just the way they treat anime...

One Piece was censured two times. On the manga, Sanji's cook chief (from when he worked at the restaurant-ship) had to EAT his leg so he wouldn't starve when he got into an isolated island. On the anime, he used his leg to fish (?).. okay... But on the american version, I've read this is missing. I don't know much about any other cuts.

Yamato was release in Brazil twice back in the late 70s early 80s, once thru an american distributor, another time directly from Japan. Fans were shocked to see how much was cut in the american release - they changed names, changed the plot by altering dialogues, and even cut scenes that featured a bathroom or a toilet seat! Go figure that...

I don't even have to mention the horrendous "warriors of the wind" version of nausicaa. After that, Miyazaki refused to let anyone re-cut his anime without his previous authorization.

Furi Kuri: major cuts and censoring. Bare naked butts and slight sugestions of genitalia or phalic symbols trimed out or cut. Dialogue changed.

Should I go on...?

I've downloaded all of the HQ posters you've made available thus far, have you got any others lying around?
Seeing as how I don't have enough money to buy all of the posters, I'd like to have HQ versions of them all on my computer at least.

Oh, BTW, while we're on the topic of posters: has anyone seen the Code3 3D posters? I thought they looked pretty cool. And just a few days after seeing them I found out about Lucas' 3D/2007 re-release plan. Those posters would be great supersized in my cinema proclaiming the re-release in 2007.

Thanks in advance,
klokwerk


Those posters are NICE - very pricey but very nice...


79 dollars for one of these isn't very price. But that's me.

LOL hahahahahah! Auscwhitz High?

OK if a school blocks the "TV turnoff week" website, labeling it "humour", there is something REALLY wrong going on over there... Chaltab, open that website on your home, print up some of the ads talking about TV turnoff week and put them at your school, maybe there's a post board where you can put those...? I'm just wondering for how long (and I mean seconds) they'll stay there


If my school had some sort of public forum of that sort, people would write all kinds of stupid/immature or biggoted remarks there.


Geez, what is your school's motto? "Eins volks, ein reich, ein furher"?
