Despite the fact that it's now the 21st Century?

I'm sure we will find out this has all been predicted in the Simpsons at some point

Hah, didn't realize they had predicted Fox would be bought: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ltQ_2by2UY

They've predicted everything!

Does anyone has ever bought Die Another Day 007 DVD in full screen? I'm trying to find out if it's open matte, or just cropped. Thank you.

When I rented that one a couple years ago, I recall most of the feature being notoriously cropped.

Mostly on the left side, if I recall. To the point where it just says "OTHER DAY".

Looks fine to me: https://imgur.com/UdvB16S.png

I'm pretty sure the credits+opening title sequences on the Brosnan films were shot Super 35, so they could be shown in 4:3 without cutting off names or vertically squeezing. Die Another Day allegedly had some sequences shot in Super 35 such as the helicopter shots, and apparently the CG FX shots were rendered in 1.78.

That's interesting. I'm wondering if an IMAX like composite would be possible. I'm going to track down a copy, the P&S DVD goes for pretty cheap.

I'm also looking to find a DVD of Breathless, the remake with Richard Gere, where the open matte original 4/3 DVD version is said to feature extra nudity But those don't seem to be available in used stores.

Have the Harry Potter movies not been given remastered Blu-rays?

at least on eBay someone seems to sell a full screen version https://www.ebay.de/itm/362872596219

Had Fight Club a new mix for home theatrical releases? On the German BD with the DTS-ES 6.1 Audio it is explicitly mentioned that it is the original theatrical mix.

Fight Club was an early 5.1EX mix

Does anyone know if I can find downscales of the 4K transfers of the Harry Potter films?

You could try and see if there are any SWTYBLZ encodes

Any what?

It's a guy who does 1080p SDR encodes from some HDR UHD stuff
