Widescreen? That kinda sucks, but that's better than nothing.
Do I wish I was somebody else right now. Somebody not... married, not madly in love with a beautiful woman who can kill me with her pinkie!

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Was it shot in widescreen? If so, it makes sense to release it that way.

I need a new tagline.. submissions are accepted.
How does a widescreen release effect people with 15 year old full screen TVs? (I am clueless in such matters)

They'll see a black bar at the top and at the bottom of the screen. The alternative is to crop the edges, losing some of the picture.

Oh that does not sound that bad at all.. as long as its the bars and not the croped edges.

tommyrot - A few months ago, Tim said:
Wonderfalls is meant to be seen full screen, with some exceptions. But let's just say full screen and leave it at that. It's not like Firefly where we meant for it to be 16x9 and they wouldn't let us. they wouldn't let us to point where there was no frame at all because we were all CANCELLED AND SHIT.

Huh. I remember that now. So it's weird that they'd release it widesreen. Maybe just the "few exceptions" will be widescreen?

I assuming the "few exceptions" are things like the main titles, and the tourist photo-shoot panoramic camera intro to the first act of "Karma Chameleon."

I was fine when existence had no meaning. Meaninglessness in a universe that has no meaning -- that I get. But meaninglessness in a universe with
meaning? What does that mean?
The "few exceptions" also included the episodes Cocktail Bunny and Caged Bird. At first they were debating releasing only those two in widescreen and the rest in fullscreen, but it looks like they've decided to go with widescreen for all episodes.

Post-its and death.
I thought it would have been odd watching the episodes in fullscreen then it switching to wide for just two episodes. As long as there aren't crew members at the side of the shot, this uniformity makes me happy.
Actually, just gimme DVDs. If the crew members looked inconspicuous, that'd be fine. If they were with the boom mics and looking into camera, then no. How much would that make Tim cringe? But if it was Bryan with a boom (and I have no idea why he would have a boom) looking into camera, oh yeah...
