Just One Of The Guys --- The Sad Truth
As was talked about previous a month or two ago, this is in fact in full screen only. I was hoping for a mistake and have them actually do this in 16:9 but sadly, no.
My question to you is, will you buy it even though it is full screen only?

I won't be buying it, or renting it. (I don't rent DVDs anyway, so that last part's moot) I definitely would have bought it if they'd released it in WS; I saw it in the theater when it came out, and loved it. Just not enough to buy it in fullscreen.

A big no. One of the few people who has been listing this as one of my most wanted DVD releases since I first joined this forum. But I just can't buy it for a barebones full screen release.

I love this movie to death.
I am really pissed off about it being full screen.
But for the sake of my worn vhs, I'll have to buy it.
F U columbia, anyway.

I seriously doubt it will ever be released in Widescreen, so I might as well pick it up.

perhaps once it has fallen to under $10 - but no way in hell i'll pay $20 for it....I'm SOOOOOO pissed that this is FS - i honestly can't believe it....it is one of my absolute favorites from the 80s...it is truly a travesty.
btw: I voted twikoff only for your "full screen this!" addition...that should really be an option here to get a true feel: "Hell NO! But I would have if they did it right those goddamned bastards!!"

I, too, would have bought this it were 16x9 and had at least the trailer as an extra. Alas, I have other movies to buy. It's a shame because I LOVE this movie. I didn't buy a widescreen TV just to play movies that aren't released in their theatrical aspect ratio.

I'll be buying this when the price drops to replace my worn out VHS copy. Obviously one would prefer to see this in its OAR but as others have plainly said, the likelihood of this happening is beyond remote. Additionally, the MSRP for this title considering it's in Fullscreen and utterly lacking in extras seems like a cruel and absurd joke for fans who have been patiently waiting for this to finally see the light of day.
