You wanna know what annoys me?

The 7th Voyage of Sinbad and The Golden Voyage of Sinbad.....

They took the great full-screen images for these films and CROPPED them, to make fake widescreen compositions.

uh................................................ .THAT'S LAME.

They cropped out all kinds of good stuff when they did that. They cropped animation, mattes, puppets, all for their silly little widescreen frame.

When the film starts, even the Columbia Pictures logo is truncated. The torch lady has no feet!! I mean WTF??

This is the obverse of the other problem--it's an obsession with widescreen causing these companies to "force" a widescreen composition on movies that weren't wide to begin with.

You think Universal is going to crop Creature from the Black Lagoon or Frankenstein? No waaaaaaay! It's crazy! Never happen babe. They've done some silly nilly things, but they won't do that.
