do you like full screen or wide screen?

[RedRedGirl]

i'd say wide screen. but it depends whether i'm at the theater or at home watching a movie.  

[gleedemon]

Full screen.

I can't focus on the movie if it's wide screen.

The black on the top and bottom distract me. X x

[ItsumoEros]

I like full screen better than wide screen.

I always buy my DVDs in Original Aspect Ratio, meaning the way the director filmed it. I don't read books that are abridged, and I find 40% of the content of a film missing because it is shown in fullscreen to be extremely annoying. Also a widescreen version of a show meant to be fullscreen is annoying with actors who think they are out of frame shown out of character.

I prefer to buy widescreen, for the reasons previously mentioned in this thread.  

[V1RTUAL PLAGUE]

It's a common assumption that wide screen cuts off part of the movie and full screen does not. That is a lie. If you know anything about movies, you know that (mostly) they are made for theatres. Theatres have a wide screen, which is a rectangle instead of a square. Thus, the films are shot with that in mind, using wide lenses, instead of square shots. Then the movies get put on DVD (or VHS if you're retro like that) and are played on TV screens. TV screens are square (except new ones like HD and stuff). Can you see where this is going? Full screen is where they cut off the edges of the movie (or stretch it, so the perspective is wonky) so that it will fit perfectly on the TV screen. In wide screen the movie is the size it was originally filmed in, not cutting anything off, and not stretching the picture. That is why I prefer wide screen over full screen.

(I don't know exactly how wide screen TVs work, so you'd have to ask someone else about the formatting on that.)

Sorry for the wall of text.
