I’m just a little miffed at the way the australian networks are moving over to wide screen. Its all well for those with cash and big TV’s but what about us little folk with standard 4:3? Letter boxing? You wish. Pan and scan? If only. No, we get the edges just cropped away. We have scenes where two people talk but you can only see the background. Subtitles and credits have words missing, and make you guess at what they would be.
Why? To make the people with cash to buy widescreen TVs (and presumably other advirtised products) more happy.
Me? I’m happy with letterboxing but pan and scan its loads better than just cropping the damn thing.
