The Incredibles/ Lucas keeps messing with his films?

I saw The Incredibles this morning and it's brilliant! Gonna see it again.

Onto Star Wars. They showed the trailer and it was great to see it on the big screen.

However, and this is something that is starting to piss me off. The ratio issue where the screen gets wider and wider and the height feels like it's shrinking more.

I noticed it when I saw the trailer online in QT, and then noticed it was shorter on the sides on TV and in the movie theater, even though it was shown in widescreen format.

Also, on the webdocs when they would show the video village, they had the widescreen high-def tv's, yet the actual size of the picture was shrunk further concerning the height factor. I understand the need to shrink the picture there, sort of, to see what will be shown on-screen, but the above paragraph, I dont get. I thought with these now widescreen films, that they'd fit perfectly in the new high def widescreen tv's and new cinema screens, they way most pictures fit into the standard square tv's. Know what I mean? I don't get it.

Well Star Wars always has an 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen and most other movies have an 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen. I know my theater has an 1.85:1 screen but I live in Texas. I'm not sure if it's what your talking about but your message is confusing.

wtf?

*confused*

same

With my post or HOBBE5's

isn't he just saying that the trailer wasn't shown in widescreen at the theater? or at least not as wide as it is online

We have no clue.
