Quality of Rabid: SE?
 

I've been looking for a review of the new special edition of Cronenberg's Rabid, but haven't found anything but ones for an older (and apparently awful) edition. Anyone know about the quality, or if it's even widescreen this time?

I picked this up yesterday, and it is letterboxed full screen. Doesn't look too shabby though, definately watchable. I'm guessing its the same transfer used on the oop release. $14.99 at Best Buy, though!

did you just make up a new format? isn't that an oxymoron?

I believe he means it's letterboxed but isn't 16x9-enhanced.

You've got it! Thank you for decoding my cryptic post. I didn't realize not everyone here had experience decoding ancient runes. :)

mmmmm. Armpit.

Are you sure you shouldn't be over in the Flirting With Disaster thread? :hscratch:

i didn't even know Rabid got new SE DVD...

nice, might pick this one eventually (once more reviews coming out)

My current column features a review and Cronenberg interview.

Hey Noel, I had read that "Rabid" has a non-anamorphic transfer. Is it indeed enhanced for widescreen?

Nope. I'd note it as "1.77:1 anam" if it were.

Oh, I thought that's what I saw in your review...?

D'oh. You did. Just fixed it.

Damn, I was hoping you were about to make my day. :) Fun stuff in that column, by the way!

Thanks! (And thanks!)
