ShowtimeHD was just showing
"The Talented Mr. Ripley" and it looked
a bit like an HBOHD 16:9 conversion.
It was definately full-frame (16:9)
even thought Showtime listed it as
"OAR" 1080i.
Does anyone know about the conversion on
this? Was it Super35 done with "Open Matte"
or could this be a sign ("please no!")
that Showtime is doing "pan/zoom" reduced
res features?
It seemed to lack the "crisp" picture I am used
to on other SHOHD OAR presentations.
Frank: Have you seen it?
