Question:
Anyone know if Brainstorm, starring Chris Walken, is anamorphic on the R1 DVD?
this is a wierd one mate (the anamorphic part aside, which most sites seem to indicate in the negatory (ie its *not* anamorphic)), the imdb page (http://us.imdb.com/Title?0085271) for Brainstorm indicates that it was made in 1983 and starred Walken alongside Natalie Wood (http://us.imdb.com/Name?Wood,+Natalie).......who died in 1981...so whats the deal here? it dosent say archive footage alongside her credit....so was the film made earlier and just released in 83, or what?
Yeah I think it took a while to finish after she died!
So, can anyone CONFIRM if the disc is anamorphic? Does anyone here own it?
1) ...the DVD is NOT anamorphic... picture AR changes from 1.85:1 to 2.35:1... looked kinda nice when seen on the giant screen in the (long since torn down) local Cinerama theatre ... looks kinda pants on a small screen...
2) ...the why and wherefore of a "1984" movie starring an actress who died in 1981 are explained in this <a href="http://www.dvdangle.com/reviews/review.php?Id=1310">review</a> of the DVD...
