What the fuck? It's literally the current year, how are people okay with this? I'm thinking about canceling HBO now. This is unacceptable for any movie, but especially a Wes Anderson one, where it's super obvious that they're doing it. Does Showtime pull this bullshit?

That is bizarre. I haven't encountered that in years.

I was shocked too. I don't think Netflix and Amazon ever do that anymore. Hulu probably doesn't either, though I know they do show the stupid zoomed in widescreen versions of Seinfeld, but that's just what they were given by the studio, it's not their fault.

We should start a letter writing campaign. This is not acceptable.

that's fucking disgusting

I couldn't even continue watching. I subscribe to HBO through Amazon, but I've now removed all HBO movies from my watchlist. Like I say, I might unsubscribe. $15 a month is way too much to pay for pan and scanned movies.

I bet you enjoy the films of Wes Anderson.

Pan and scan in this day in age is a fucking sin for cinema. It's not suppose to be in 16x9 unless it was film/recorded in 16x9.

I thought everyone understood this in fucking 2017. I couldn't believe it.

I don't think Netflix does this. At least not anymore.

For what fucking purpose
