So I had my mom do the pick up for me. My grand total for all 3 movies (PATF and Toy Stories) turned out to be 5.97. (with no tax in Delaware)

Whoa!

I went to check Target, and they were out of Stock on TS2. Disappointed, I was happy that Best Buy was on the way home. So I went there, both movies in both packaging were to the side of the door, and I bought them. Unfortunately, the employee didn't accept both coupons-but she was nice about it- and the total still came to $21.68 with Tax. It was a good deal, and since my mom paid me most of the money to use at the autism conference last weekend, I only paid $5.68!

EDIT: the back of the TS2 case has the suburban street cut from the film.

Did anyone here get both coupons to work at TRU? If so, did you pre-order or not?

Do you think they're worth $19.99 each?

I would've bought them if they were $30 each. So the answer is YES. They are well worth $19.99 each!

Im redeeming one of the TS3 tickets, and for some reason, "the Big Picture" was listed as one of the theaters in my area. What's odd about it is that I was told it closed a few years ago (it was located a little out of the way, and was the city's giant screen theater, with no regards to showing hollywood movies at that size).

Maybe even though it's closed it's still listed as being open. That happens sometimes.

In other words the way it was shown in theatres, but I guess you don't care about preserving the theatrical version and want your TV screen filled.

Actually, for 1.33 and and anything above 1.85, I want the original Ratio, because that's a much more significant difference. plz dont put me on the same level as millions of idiots who dont like the "black bars".

The point I was originally trying to make is that the reviewer claims it's the original aspect ratio, and again it's not. 1.78, the 16:9 tv ratio, didn't come about till widescreen tvs started to be produced.

But I stand by what I originally said in that there is no reason why we couldn't get the theatrical ratio of 1.85 for this release, as well as for Toy Story 2.

No one answered my question on how we know it's not in it's original aspect ration.

I see I accidently posted twice. I'm having connectivity issues where I'm at, so I deleted the same post here from the one above...

Who gives a ****?

And just for the mother****ing record, the OAR is 1:78:1.



Go check imdb trivia.

IMDB says 1.85 as well. That 1.78 ratio wasn't even in existence at the time of Toy Story's release. How old are you anyway, 12, or whatever the minimum age is for posting on this forum. If you don't have anything intelligent to say in your disagreeing with me, just grow up.

I paid $44.90 total for both of em at the store where I work, that's including $15 off using the coupons.

I have no problem paying that price though, if there are two movies where I know I'll watch them enough to warrant the price, it's the Toy Stories.

And I'm thrilled that they're in the thin Blu-ray cases, not that I'd expect them to be in the thick ones, since there are only two discs.

As you can see I edited my post before you replied, but you obsessing over a little picture loss is pathetic. Get a life.

I believe the original version shown in theatres is the one that should be presented on DVD/Blu. My opinion, as well as others. If you don't agree, then fine. Again, grow up kid.

Just got mine at Target for around $16. Got the $10 off for buying both and used the $10 off coupons for each. Hooray!

It's not like it's OAR was 2:35:1.

There's barely a difference between 1:78:1 and 1:85:1.
Your memory also isn't good enough to discern what you did or didn't see.

Sure, we all want the OAR present in theatres but we don't really need it, not in this case. It's not that big a difference to make such a brouhaha about, is it?

There also has to be a good reason since they've done it with Up and Finding Nemo both in different years. Show me what either movie is missing by cropping to 1:78:1 and maybe you'd have a stronger argument. As it stands, though it is incorrect, it's not much of an issue.

Lastly, I'm not sure what effect you're trying to achieve by calling me a kid. It sure doesn't make you any more mature or adult unless you were going for condescension which would be ironic.

Actually, please provide a comparison screenshot between ANY movie for 1:78:1 and 1:85:1 aspect ratios.

I was trying to find some but I obviously don't know what I'm looking for and since you seem to know so much I'd like to see the difference.

Thanks.

A Google search turned up this example on another forum. Scroll down to see the difference between 1.85:1 and 1.78:1. Its a minor difference and I'm sure 99.9% of people wouldn't notice at all.

Its nice to preserve OAR, but this in my opinion, isn't a big deal at all.

HAH! I mean, to each his own... but I find it laughable that anyone would have an issue with the amount of difference that makes. Okay, it's not actually what the OAR is... but... ... ... who cares?

But again, to each his own I guess
