Annoying things with DVD video.

[jsbowden]

So, we picked up The Incredibles on Tuesday. Now, I didn't notice when I bought it, but it's Full Screen. AKA pan & scan.

What.

The.

Fuck?

Saving Nemo: Both on one disk.

Monsters Inc.: Both on one disk.

But no, Disney feels the need to go and do this one different. I FUCKING HATE pan & scan. Goddamnit, I want the whole frame, not the bits that happen to fit on my TV screen. Full screen is an abomination that shouldn't even be available. Now I have to go buy it again, because I'd already opened it when I noticed.

In other news, WHFS lives on as an AOL internet radio station now. In two days at work, I've heard 4 songs repeated twice, other than that, it's what HFS was before Infinity went and fucked up the station, only, without annoying DJs or commercials.

I hate it when that happens.

I'm super careful about reading the box now. I also hate full screen, for the same reasons.

I'm nice. I let mom have the LAST Wide screen The Incredibles they had at the store. I will get mine later... but I won't let her buy full screen just because they are out.

it's not as bad as most (that version)

Pixar renders "fullscreen" versions as taller versions of the widescreen. Literally, the widescreen renditions are cropped versions of the fullscreen version. This info is from a Pixar animator friend-of-friend.
