The Bedroom Window

Summary: PAN & SCAN HITS DVD with PIONNEER
Review: This is not a review on "The Bedroom Window" which is by the way a fairly exciting suspenser well directed by Curtis "L.A Confidential" Hanson, but an outburst of anger against the scandalous, revolting, outrageous and insulting behaviour of the PIONNEER "mob" who are injecting Pan & Scan in what was till now an intelligent, exciting and most tempting new standard: DVD. It is really upsetting to see that some scumbags (excuse the word but I am really really furious) are not giving us the choice between widescreen and full screen formats. It is depressing to think that DVD could become in the near future what VHS used to be. Something that destroyed pictures instead of giving them a new life. I beg you not to encourage this kind of products by avoiding them completely. The Bedroom Window was shot in 2.35:1 (scope) which simply means that half of the picture is missing. PIONNEER is a sure stinker and as far as I am concerned I am banning all their products. The Cassandra Crossing has just benefited of the same shock treatment. That was not what DVD was created for.
