Lots of DVD packaging now spells out what aspect ratio the film is being projected in. For example, MARY POPPINS is clearly labeled on its box as 1.66:1; RAGING BULL is 1.85:1; THE INCREDIBLES 2.39:1. Once you've started taking note of the dimensions, you can spot them on your TV or at your local theater if you just look at the shape of the image as it's projected (if the projectionist is showing it correctly, that is.)

Leonard Maltin's Movie Guide identifies those films that are shot in named widescreen formats like Cinemascope, Panavision, Vistavision, Super 35, etc. Lots of home video magazines and on line reviewers also give the information in the specs foe the videos.

If at first you don't succeed, that's about average for me.

And my pick for Best TV-movie was the original version of BRIAN'S SONG.

Let me just say that I was not at all surprised by the person eliminated on IDOL tonight. I believe it was whom I predicted. I'll have more to say tomorrow so as not to spoil any surprises for those who haven't seen it.

Ansco was a variation of Eastman Color that MGM licensed as their own. After years of paying a premium for Technicolor cameras and their processing, some of the studios were happy to concoct their own color process based on Eastman Color. Fox had Deluxe; Warners had WarnerColor, and MGM had Ansco.

Another good TV movie is TRIBES with Jan Michael Vincent and the aforementioned Darren McGavin.

A surprise in the mail today. The Swedish DVD of a low-budget werewolf movie I acted in a few years ago. The fact that someone had to translate the inane dialogue into Swedish is somehow amusing.

Well, as it says on the back cover, "Wanneer de maan door een meteorieten inslag van zijn baan raakt en dichter bij de aarde komt veranderen..."

Have a good flight BK. Tumi times in Yumi New York City await!

I'd tell you MBarnum, but then, as they say, I'd have to kill you. And probably myself too.  :)

That begs the question:  Did you use your own body hair?

Ha! I probably could have. Only my character wanted to be a werewolf but couldn't become one. The actual costumes are the most ridiculous thing about the movie. They are like giant squirrel costumes.
