I heard they were chopping it for over here too, so I would be boycotting anyway. I can understand however, as anyone who hadn't researched, wouldn't know what a grindhouse was since its a totally unknown foreign concept here.  |  IP: Logged Michael Brown Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1522 From: Bradford, England Registered: May 2001 posted 11-09-2007 02:47 PM                     I'm in the UK and I've just come back from watching 'Planet Terror' (It just opened today). I have a technical question about the grindhouse release. When I saw 'Death Proof' a few month ago it was a Scope film and I was assuming that 'Planet Terror' was also going to be in Scope to match. However it was in 1.85 flat format. How did they work around this for the full grindhouse release. Was 'Planet Terror' show as 1.85 (with a lense change between the other feature) or was it printed as Scope (just not filling the full image width)  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan." Posts: 10973 From: Lawton, OK, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 11-09-2007 03:04 PM                     Planet Terror was cropped down to 'scope dimensions. You may have had sharper image quality watching it in 1.85:1 given that segment of Grindhouse was not shot using HDTV-quality digital cameras.  |  IP: Logged Michael Brown Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1522 From: Bradford, England Registered: May 2001 posted 11-09-2007 08:31 PM                     quote: Bobby Henderson .....not shot using HDTV-quality digital cameras. Are you sure? It was shot with Panavision Genesis according to the end credits.  |  IP: Logged
