Or am I trippin'?
Still confused Chrisisall
That's my understanding.
I would think that ElDusto meant to say Pan&Scan (fullscreen), but he also said that it was viewed it on HD Cinemax, and I was under the impression that they broadcast in Original Aspect Ratio. So I may be trippin' also...
Sorry, I was thinking letterbox and fullscreen where the same and I don't know why. I'm dumber when I'm at work.
Cinemax HD was actually showing it in fullscreen last Friday night, cause the HD channel we get out here feeds off of the west coast timed Cinemax and that channel was showing it in fullscreen, also. When I watched it earlier on the east coast Cinemax, they too were showing it it in fullscreen. It kind of sucked cause in some of the scenes where the characters are on opposite ends of the screen, like when Mal and the Operative stand off at the end, half of their bodies were not shown and you could barely see them.

Cool, I get it now.
I think 'letterbox' is kinda like the old way of saing 'widescreen', since at first peeps had to understand why the black bars were there- they thought they were missing the top and bottom of the picture.
So 'widescreen' can refer to any widescreen aspect ratio (2.35 to 1, 1.78 to 1, etc., and widescreen TV's are generally 16:9 which fits 1.78:1 and puts tiny black bars in on 2.35:1).
Well, that my understanding anyway...
Where's Mal's head- oh, it's full screen...Chrisisall

I went 2 months without the show this summer. And after travelling 32 miserable hours, I just wanted to watch an episode or 2 and pass out. But could I? NO! Because my roommate lent the DVDs to a friend!!!!!!

I kind of feel like a dirty hippie right now, but I'm loving every moment.
