- The title says it: Picked up the above at my local Tower Video tonight.
-
- I was favorably impressed. Having suffered through my p&s version, I was
- immediately struck by a Panavision production with an aspect ratio of
- between 2.3 and 2.4 to 1. The colors were much better than I remembered
- on the p&s, while even the ("reprocessed for stereo") digital soundtrack
- wasn't too back.
-
- The color was clean; no video noise that I noticed, though some of the
- "night time black" looked a little '70-ish...if you know what I mean.
-
- Altogether, a pleasing disc. If you have the earlier model, tr(ash/ade)
- it and get the widescreen edition; it's the same price ($34.95--got it
- on sale at $29.95!) as the p&s, and a much better edition.
-
- N.B.: The "Widescreen Edition" on this Warner issue is written in VERY
- small letters on the upper left hand side of the front cover, which is
- otherwise identical to the p&s version. You'll also see the box on the
- back side advising you not to panic at the weird black bars...'they're
- supposed to be there!'
-
- Heh heh heh....
