Fullscreen ALERT: Iceman (1984)...
Darn! "Universal is releasing Iceman (1984 -- Timothy Hutton and John Lone) on DVD on December 28. And (according to Amazon and www.dvdpricesearch), it will be 4:3."*
This movie, a true favorite of mine, was filmed in Panavision. What a shame.
NO OAR = NO SALE!
BTW, if *we* are trying to sell widescreen TVs, why are *we* pushing Fullscreen DVDs?
*Quote is from HTF.

Yep, I was excited when this was announced, along with Tank and a few others, as part of Universal's December selection, back in October.....
The fullscreen for Iceman is REALLY a letdown, since OAR was 2.35 : 1

It's overused here seems to me, but I totally agree..... NO OAR, NO SALE!!!

Wow! 71 views and 1 reply - I hope no one from the studios looks at the Fullscreen complaint posts and draws some unfortunate conclusions.
Folks, are we getting a bit apathetic or what? This may not be your favorite film, but "My cousin is a DVD thief" should *not* be more interesting than studios releasing substandard product. Gosh the DVD community sure has changed (grown).

Duality I agree with you....this dvd is not top priority for me but let me say, (and i know the vast majority here would agree) OAR is the most important feature on a dvd. Without that to start, no dts or behind the scenes doc is going to make me buy a release. It's shameful.
dvd means OAR-then the world would be a better place

Well, I would feel guilty now for reading and agreeing, but not posting 
but I have nothing new to add so I'll just quote Cameron, whose opinion most closely matches my own. And let me also repeat this: NO OAR = NO SALE
