Whenever I think of the Foolscreen/Widescreen debate, I look no further to the worst pan and scan debacle EVER....Annie! (Give me a little room on this one; it came out when I was 9, I was/am an only child and spent alot of time with my mother and grandmother. Also, the Annie soundtrack was the second album on cassette I owned, so I had the music memorized by heart).

Anywhoo....

You have a scene where Daddy Warbucks and Annie are in the swimming pool talking. The pan goes back and forth, landing on the character that ISNT talking, finally resting on the water in between them.....SO YOU CANT SEE EITHER ONE OF THEM!?!

Oh, yeah, I dont care if my DVD's are wide or full....just make sure they're in black and white (the kids ought to love that one!).

Must we call it foolscreen though?

I rented Flushed Away a couple of days ago, and just like draino, couldn't figure out why it looked strange. I also had picked up the fullscreen version. The movie was still a good one, but I'm glad I didn't buy it that way.

Once widescreen tv's become cheaper and more popular, fullscreen dvd's will be phazed out.

Well....I watched Blood Diamond FS this weekend, it was a great movie (not to own IMO) and I really did not notice it was full screen. It was just like watching a movie on cable tv or regular tv. I wanted to see Blood Diamond, a friend was nice enough to let me borrow it and I am glad I saw it!

Fixed. :)
