Widescreen v Fullscreen comparison on Passion of the Christ

I really don't want to start another PotC or WvF thread but I'm trying to make a point w/ someone and would be interested to hear if anyone has come across something like this. I've found a couple of sites that have WvF screen shoots but I'm looking for one that specifically has PotC.

TIA

Unfortunately, the Bible says nothing about Widescreen vs Fullscreen.

since the movie was shot in panavision, Passion is likely to be heaviely cropped on the full screen dvd.

The 11th commandment: Honor the OAR and keep it holy.

Revelations 22: 18-19

I think you can make an argument in favor or OAR.

Funny. I read PotC as "Pirates of the Carribean" but what's WvF?

Just think, with Fullscreen you can get an even more zoomed in image of the skin coming off of him.

Yeah, I'm thinking Widescreen is the only way to go with this release.

Well, we all know who to blame for the fullscreen release of this film.

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that widescreen doesn't exist.

Now that's impressive. Pulling out a Biblical quote to support an OAR question has got to be one of the great DVD Talk achievements of the week.

If I could fit that quote into my sig, I would. Can someone tell me how to make the words smaller so it would? Or would it still be over the "line" limit?

If you buy the full screen version then you're going to hell.
