Review title: What the hell was Artisan thinking?
Product review: So they release a great movie on DVD. They even take advantage of the format and throw in some extras. Lost footage, etc. They even put it in a decent keep case, not a cardboard one. But then they put it in "Fullscreen (standard)" format (a euphamism for removing half the image). What a waste. They don't even give you the option of flipping the disc over or using the second layer to get the entire picture. This is inconceivable to me, because you can release both on one dvd. There are very few dvd's released without a widescreen transfer, and many do not even include one of these pitiful pan & scan transfers. If I hadn't already opened this (who would have thought a "Collector's Edition" might be pan&scan?) I would return it. I may still try. Everyone should make sure that Artisan knows that people who buy dvd's do it because they want to see the movie in as close to the original experience as possible, and that means a faithful transfer.
