I've said it once, I've said it 100 times: Widescreen TV's should have
been 2.35:1 instead of 16:9.
But seriously, 16:9 TV's have had the unintended nasty side effect of
prompting EVERYONE to start making their movies 2.35:1, even when it's
not appropriate. 2.35:1 is for EPIC films, for films with scale over
close-up (great for westerns, terrible for character pieces). Yet now,
everyone and his brother thinks they have to make their film 2.35:1.
Tell me, does "Beerfest" REALLY need a 2.35:1 scope presentation?
Really?
