I dont want to lose half my screen to void bars yet almost every single modern (and even most retro) movies are shared in this format.

I dont remember this being always the case either.

cinema aspect ratios etc.

Are you implying that people online are manually cropping 1:85:1 films into 2:39:1 for no reason, or do you just not know anything about feature film aspect ratios?

why are you still using torrents like its 2008

well you know whats fucking stupid? the idea that most people have cinema screens on their wall at home.

Crop the home release. some films do actually get proper aspect ratios on their dvd releases.

What's the alternative if you don't want to be a subscription pay-pig?

>>92830282 (OP)

dumbass

>>92830282 (OP)

get a 1920x800 screen

> the idea that most people have cinema screens on their wall at home.

true, but they all conform to set standards for whatever digital medium they're using. if the movie producers decide to use some funky aspect ratio and release it on digital mediums then there's no escaping the black bars.

Unfortunately, most directors love slit-vision for some reason. Even though it looks like shit for most scenes. Open matte releases are rare so you will just have to live with the black bars.

>>92830282 (OP)

why are you so fucking dumb hahah, just right click > fill screen

you do use VLC?

>2023

>VLC

slit vision is already barely watchable. Cropping it horizontally will only make it even less watchable.

stop watching movies on your phone

>>VLC

just says VLC is timeless

no, it's long been obsolete at this point

>retard doesn't understand aspect ratios 



don't worry bro just watch at 200% zoom there no borders now

>Open matte releases are rare

This is the tragedy here.

that isnt a proper solution you fucking retard and what kind of bug eating, slop drinking pod dweller is using that normie trash?

>>92830282 (OP)

Isn't IMAX like full screen?

>obsolete

>never stopped working

okay

>gets a solution

>doesnt like it

>calls it a non proper solution

lmfao

>obsolete

>never stopped working

That's not what obsolete means, retard

>IMAX Digital uses 2K projection (2,048 x 1,080) and IMAX with Laser uses 4K projection (4,096 x 2,160). Film, being a chemical process and not digital, does not technically have a pixel resolution.

ahahah what does it mean then, please, enlighten us dwelly

>Film, being a chemical process and not digital, does not technically have a pixel resolution.

I miss IMAX film. Only Nolan uses it now everyone else uses digital

the fuck are you talking about, it looks fine

imagine the possibilities for custom releases and remixes if movies and music were open source

Pirate streams services.

Exactly. Every single production file, all the dailies, every vfx asset, all recordings, all script revisions, every shot should all be on github for download to put together proper releases. We could have saved so many movies but fraud directors are too cowardly to do it.

vlc is trash. always was.



things that disappear.. not entire lost. a lot of stuff is archived or has complex ownership over rights that prevent them from seeing the light of day ever again until someone turns up with a truck load of money to license it. problem is time marches on and archives deteriorate further.
