Is the Patton 2 Discs Special Edition anamorphic?

I've seen the single disc marked as being anamorphic, but behind the case of the 2 Discs versions, there's no signs of Anamorphic, I was just wondering is it?

I haven't opened mine yet but the front has a sticker that says "All New THX Approved 16x9 Transfer" if that helps.

How're you gonna pick it up? The 2-disc is OOP long time ago, isn't it?

DVD Josh, don't be lying--I own the original 2-disc release and it is certainly, unquestionably anamorphic.

Absolutely anamorphic, from the very start. To my knowledge there has never been a non-anamorphic DVD of Patton, at least in Region 1.

How do you tell if the Patton 2-disc Special Edition is anamorphic? You make the other poor dumb bastard die for his DVD.

Of course I must be lying. I couldn't be mistaken.

When you say it so matter-of-factly, without a preface of "as I recall" or "if I'm not mistaken" or somesuch, then it sounds like lying...

Well, when you speak as plainly, it just sounds like you are a jerk.

In any event, it appears that I'm incorrect, as well as being the President, inventor of the Internet, the founder of this forum and star of the upcoming third installment of XXX.

Just calling a spade a spade, my friend...take it as a lesson on how to respond to questions in the future wherein you're not 100% certain as to the answer, or just keep pouting--your choice.

DVD Josh, this really isn't necesary, especially the personal attack. Please don't let it happen again.

And, Filmmaker, though his response was out of line, this comes across fairly rude. As such, I would ask that you consider other ways of phrasing your concerns.

I consider being truthful to be of greater concern than being tactful so I have a bad feeling I'll continue to "disappoint" in the future...we'll see...

Only on the Internet...

The question was answered correctly (with one word) in the very first response. Yet, the bickering and responses -- including this one -- continue. You gotta love it.

What do you mean, "Only on the Internet"? That's exactly how every conversation I have with my friends in real life goes.
