Oh that whole thing smacks of the notorious Spielberg/Eisner feud!

Happy Birthday!!! Eeeek! Sorry i forgot!

I get what you are saying. I made sure to imply that there are other formats out there: “A popular transfer technique sometimes used involves removing the widescreen matting of a film that is shot on a larger scale (like Super35)...” It's the labeled photo that is confusing and it will be...

All I have to say is, "Mahna, Mahna! Do do do do do!"

To clear up any confusion the image and the caption will be relabled in the next few days to reflect matte removal cropping rather than super35. Same results and theory, just a different name. It was used to illustrate a point, but I can see how it may be misleading. The film stock wasn't the...

Boobage? ;)

Sorry, thread closed. Healthy debates are encouraged on Muppet Central, but personal attacks are not. I felt the need to close the thread and edit some words. We have received numerous complaints. Please move on to a more Muppet appropriate topic. Thank you. MUPPET CENTRAL MODERATOR: JAMES...

That isn't the case according to the DVD. The cropped version chops off the edges and exposes more from the top and bottom when comparing it to the widescreen (even the original video taped release too). It may not be Super 35 (that was more of a theoretical example) but it was shot at a larger...

There is some additional clipping that occurs on the television that can be seen on a computer player and flat screen television sets. The image is theoretical to illustrate a point- a production still that is nearly identical to the film frame. It shows what could happen with such a transfer...

Thanx y'all. I agree that the issue can overshadow the rest of the release - and rightfully so, but there are some great extras mentioned in my widescreen article so that any future discussion from me can simply reference it instead of bringing up the debate again. Why do they crop films?-...

Thanx. Just love Byron's site. It's rully groovy! Geez this is such an old thread. Thought it went to a place that time forgot.

Wow! And now we're going to have to wait till next year!

Yeah, that annoys me too. Especially Ebay listings that label items as "Jim Hansen's Muffets." It's almost like they are trying. Everyone knows I have a similar feeling about the misspelling of "Manhattan" - especially when a person sites "The Muppets Take ManhattEn" as his or her favorite...

Woah! Cool. My only concern would be the notorious deterioration of the foam latex. I wonder how one would safeguard against that. Maybe I'll ask at the next guild meeting.

That is terrible. I am sure if you drew attention to this policy they would consider changing it. They don't need any bad press these days and this sparks some wild legal issues.

Eeek! You beat me to it, Annika. LOL! HAPPY BIRTHDAY PHILLIP! **CLICK HERE FOR YOUR PERSONAL E-CARD!** Thank you for all you do. I hope you have a great time on your special day!

Be afraid...be VERY afraid. One thing's for sure. Warrick will buy it if he can get his Fraggley hands on it! LOL!

How the heck would that work? I'd like to see them too. Maybe they could be used as bumpers between commercials.

Eeeek. It seems like I have almost forgotten Artie too. Well, I hope you had a very happy birthday! (smacks self for forgetting) :)

Eeeek! I almost forgot. Sorry about that. Hope you had a fantastic day! Geez, I'm always bad about this stuff.
