Yes, and we're trying to have as many of them put down as soon as is humanly possible. Bear with, and we will get round to them all.

Wanted finally on C4 in 2.35:1 (after its Film 4 'premiere'), so it's the first terrestrial HD premiere...
But it's a Universal film. So it's not in DD5.1. /switches off

![]() Given that John Badham made most of his films in Scope (not all of them - Saturday Night Fever and WarGames are other exceptions) I did wonder why he didn't with this one. He did make the sequel Another Stakeout in Scope. |

Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters (2013) cropped to 16:9. C5 really is a joke of a channel. Can Viacom fix this? Quote:
1.85:1 is the correct ratio. I saw that in the cinema and the print was matted into 1.85:1.

Hello Dolly and Oklahoma both screened on movies> (Freesat), and moviemix (Freeview) in pretty good widescreen versions. Not sure if they were full aspect ratios, but the musical numbers looked good with all their extras and vast sets.

His/Her rental was probably a third of the price of the blu-ray and half the price of the DVD though...
I'm not going to use it again though: I'm not going to be dramatic and say it ruined my enjoyment of the film, but it was incredibly annoying. |

Cutthroat Island on C5. Not in 2.35, but cropped to 4:3 and the print looks worse than a pirated VHS! (pun not intended)

![]() Came here just to post the exact same comment. Which bin did they fish this copy out of? Appalling.
