WTF? Dirty Harry on Netflix Instant is 4:3 pan and scan.

Here I sat, thinking, "Great! Dirty Harry on Neflix Instant." Little did I know that I'd have to endure a "modified to fit your screen" pan and scan version.

Sorry, Netflix. Not going to do it.

1. My dear laconiscax!

Good for you!

Pan and scan is horrible stuff. PERIOD.

You lose about 1/3 of the picture...not exactly what the director had in mind.

Make them (Netflix) give you the proper letterboxed version!

:hi:

2. It's the watch instant version--I'm not sure there's a reasonable complaint process.

All I can do is report the picture as 'unwatchable or missing.'

When they shipped a pan and scan version of a movie, they replaced it with the real thing immediately, but this is different.

3. Netflix, still using pan and scan?

God...why? I can understand that some people still have 4:3 tvs, but they need to speed up the transition process to ensure that all DVDs are widescreen versions wherever produced originally, ONLY.
