Widescreen scam (history)

SavannahLion:
I recall the Peewee Herman cropping problems and, quite honestly, I seriously thought it was due to the wacky nature of the film. He's a ---fouled up beyond all recognition--- up character, its a ---fouled up beyond all recognition--- up film, so thought it was natural to see the props.

On a side note I recall one film maker intentionally including "extras" and other bloopers in the wide screen version of her films. Such as a hand throwing stuff at the actor. She said it was extra stuff for her fans to find but I sometimes wonder if she's brilliantly making a subtle jab at widescreens or she's a piss poor director.

Sounds like Spaceballs.  I think there is a scene where they are fighting and they accidentally hit the film crew members

I work on two 4:3 monitors. I use one for code and one to view the stage.

Once I tried turning just the coding monitor 90 degrees, so I'd see more of my script. It was good for reading a lot of code at once, but it was to awkward for me to work with.

I'm very familiar with space balls and I'm pretty sure Mel Brooks isn't female. I could be wrong though, I don't personally know. In any case the fact it's a movie is a running gag throughout the film. The Mr. Rental scene is downright hilarious.

That's not what I'm talking about though. It's close. No I think she's a director for Disney or something. Let me see if I can figure out which of my kids DVD has it.

I didn't mean to say you were talking about Mel Brooks.  I was just saying the situation you were talking about was similar to Spaceballs when they show the film crew on the sides.  Definitely a funny movie I haven't seen in a while and might have to pull up again.
