Towel scene

[deleted]

Yes I thought she was hot! She has a great body on her even for her age. I am not sure why she did not move onto bigger and better things. Yes I miss her too being in movies.

i agree. i really didnt like that scene because it didnt really fit the tone of the movie. it seemed confused as to whether it was going to be creepy humor or juvenile humor too. the scene just came off as weird and kind of rapey. thats not to say she isnt hot. i just wish they did something else with the scene.

That's right. Nearly all 1.85:1 movies that were shot on film were filmed in 4:3 because that's the aspect ratio of 35mm movie film (not exactly 4:3, but close to it). Back when standard TVs were 4:3, it was common to shoot movies with a flat lens and frame it for 1.85:1 but also "protect" for 4:3 at the same time (by making sure there are no boom mics, etc., showing in the 4:3 area), so that it could easily be broadcast on TV or transferred to home video in 4:3 without having to do the "pan & scan" process.

There are three main methods of shooting on film:

1. Shoot and frame it exclusively for 4:3 using a flat lens. That was done mainly for TV shows and made-for-TV movies, as well as older pre-widescreen movies, like The Wizard of Oz (1939). For older movies it's called the "academy ratio", which, like I said before, is close to, but not exactly, 4:3 (it's actually 1.375:1, whereas 4:3 = 1.33:1).

2. Shoot and frame it for 1.85:1 using a flat lens (with or without "protecting" for 4:3). When projected in a movie theater an aperture mask is used over the lens which effectively crops it to 1.85:1.

3. Shoot and frame exclusively for 2.35:1 using an anamorphic lens. A special lens is used which "squeezes" a 2.35:1 image onto the ~4:3 film frame and then project it in theaters using a special lens which "unsqueezes" the image back to 2.35:1. When transferring 2.35:1 movies to "full-frame" 4:3 home video the only option is to crop the sides off, because there is no extra image on the top and bottom like you get with the #2 method. But you can't just crop the sides off and call it good, because it will result in some scenes having important elements cut off. For example, imagine a scene through the windshield of a car showing two people in the front seats having a conversation with each other. If you just cropped equal amounts off both sides you would partially or fully crop the people out of the scene. So when the guy in the passenger seat is speaking, you have to crop everything from the driver's side, which makes it look like the camera has panned over to focus on the passenger, and vice versa. That's where the term "pan & scan" comes from.
