I know plenty of time I've gone to the movies and paid full price and not been warned and it was a video. Shot on video. By the end of the film I maybe didn't mind so much. Once I only found out weeks later. But the point is all the Videos we see it seems are shot on film and films shot on video. Maybe they should do as the photo galleries do: Silver Print: Silver in Gelatin on paper base. Video or DIGITAL VIDEO, edited on one of those hand crank things or and IMac? A Digital projector? Let us know the whole deal ahead of time I say. So we know what we're buying! Where's Ralph Nadar when you need him? Out driving his Corvair., I love it when you rent a DVD or tape and it always begins with: This movie as been reformatted to fit your televisions screen. They're telling me that I am really not at the movies. I'm home watching TV. I enjoy being reminded of that. I guess that while my television is only slightly smaller than the screen at the movie theatre it's a different shape and these thing upset the director and the Cinematographer. When i reach for my fast forward button at the movie theatre I pull out a Hershy bar and press down on one of the almonds. Of course nothing much happens and thank god few people see me.
