I tuned in last night as it's Kubrick week on SMC.

"Full Metal Jacket" looked fine in HD (but I could really do without their motion advertising on the bottom of the screen).

Shocked at their display of "A Clockwork Orange". It looks as if they zoomed in on the image. The first and last letters of the title were completely clipped. The first scene confirmed my suspicion. At first I thought I had inadvertently issued a manual zoom with my remote, but it was not the case.

Shame on them. It's too bad that Stanley Kubrick cannot "demand satisfaction" from the idiots at the Sony Movie Channel.

Oh well, single frame then around the time that Alex hits the Cat Lady
with the objet d art to be adequately compensated for your
disheartenings.

"Faith and knowledge and hope and despair. We may have made heretofore unimaginable technological advances since the dawn of modern civilization, but we remain creatures full of confusion and longing and pain. The exponential leaps technology has afforded us, which form a taut line running through the pages of this elegant book, serve - among other, better, optimistic, more noble things - to perplex us. In writing on Karen Ann Quinlan, who lay in a coma for years as the courts deliberated over who had a right to decide her fate, Lepore notes that before 1968, such a case wouldn't have existed. Patients in a 'persistent vegetative state' would have been allowed to die. But by the 1970s, 'what was new wasn't pulling the plug or not pulling the plug. What was new was the plug.' " - Dani Shapiro, 12 August 2012, reviewing Jill Lepore's, "The Mansion of Happiness," New York Times Book Review.
