It's interesting to me that a guy like Kubrick, who did a great deal of his work between the advent of widescreen movies and the beginnings of home video would prefer a presentation he had to think many people would never see.
I mean, he really only made two movies after home video became widespread. If he always preferred fullframe presentations, then in his movies prior to Full Metal Jacket, he was composing an image that, at the time, he wouldn't expect anyone would ever see.

You're right, since I rarely watch movies broadcast on television, I hadn't thought of that rather obvious outlet in the days before home video (and I watched a good many movies on television growing up since my family didn't get a VCR until 1986 or so, so I really should've thought of that).

What I hate are posters that start threads like this and then never post anything in them again -- I always have the feeling they check back and laugh at the stupidity they cause when they know full well that their original posts are crap.
But that's just me.
