"The 10th Kingdom" Widescreen vs.Full-screen
The Magically Delicious Mr. Hole
real steal (under 10 bucks), I took off the plastic wrapping but just
last night got around to watching it (at any given time I have more than
20 or so unwatched DVDs) anyway last night I see that I had purchased
the full-frame version, something I have never done despite owning
hundreds of DVDs, with the wrapping off, it being more than 5 months
later and having long since discarded the sales slip there was no way of
returning this to exchange it for another DVD.
But since this was a film from around '99 before the widescreen tv craze
really took off and its clearly not pan & scan just full-frame is there
any reason I should be searching out a widescreen version of The 10th
Kingdom?
Anyone own the widescreen version? Is there that much of a difference?
Thanks in advance.
P.S Watching disc one last night there was something I had forgotten, in
the opening credits New York City is transformed from its present state
into a fairytale kingdom and one of the shots is of the Twin Towers
coming down/morphing into something else.
P.P.S. I don't own a widescreen tv.

Search all you want. You won't find one. It wasn't released in widescreen.

Scally: Dear Mr. Hole. Sometimes full-frame presentations of open-matte films can
reveal frightening, disturbing things the projectors didn't want you to see. Allow me
to share with you a little story to help you understand the sheer urgency of what I
mean. When I was but a lad of 10 back in the summer of '84, I had the misfortune to
view the horror movie--and once-upon-a-time-Scally cinematic review--"Evilspeak" (a
British nasty!) on VHS (PAL format!), and the horrors (horrors!) that awaited me were
unspeakable. During a male shower scene - horrifying enough in itself, right? - I
saw... I saw... OMG, I can barely get the words out... I saw Loren "Robin" Lester's
bush. Yes, his bush. With a white cloth taped over his tackle. Suffice to say, that
wasn't magically delicious. I couldn't eat or take a shower for weeks.
OK, well I just spoke of them, so I guess they weren't unspeakable. But they were
bad! So proceed with caution, 'cause "The 10th Kingdom" is nightmarish enough as
is!!!
P.S. In the future, please put a "spoiler" warning above the mention of the Twin
Towers, as it is only 1 and a half years after 9/11, and this is still a "sensitive"
issue for some people who lost friends and family when those two buildings went
bye-bye. Thanx.

Spoiler? LOL This is the most stupid post I read in June.
Bush's bombs killed many kids in Iraq and many people lost friends and
family during American invasion, so now we should put a spoiler warning
before every mention of Bush's name?

Sorry, but this is plainly and simply stoopid, not to mention silly.
Those buildings were the pre-eminent skyline feature of NYC. EVERY
movie shot in or near NYC before 9/11/01 shows the towers. If you don't
want to see them, then you better avoid films altogether. Spoiler
warning. Sheesh! :-/

It's not a film, it's a mini-series and was never released in widescreen
(because it wasn't meant to be seen in widescreen).

Scally: Do you also defecate on the American flag and put bumper stickers on your car
that say "I Love Osama?" I swear, our country gets sicker and sicker every year. I
bet it's just a matter of time before they start making movies where American men
fall in love with Middle-Eastern women and they start bombing places together for
kicks. It'll be a "black comedy" of course, because terrorism is funny to sickos,
isn't it?

I don't have a great pleasure to look at other's guy curly Q, but also don't
have any problem with that like you. It's NORMAL to have penis for man, as
well as vagina for woman. And if you find genitals so nasty, you are
probably have some problems with your sexuality.

Scally: I don't find genitals so nasty. I find MALE genitals so nasty. I have no
problems looking at, touching, tasting, sniffing, munching (etc., etc.) female
genitals. The fact that you apparently enjoy doing all this stuff to male genitals
suggests to me that you probably have some problems with your HOMOsexuality.

Scally: Disbelievers will go straight to hell. But then since you're (latently) gay,
I suspect you already knew you would.

Scally: HI! How are you? Are you still available? Do you mind me looking at your
genitals? I'm actually going to be turning the BIGGER 3-1 next year (I turned 11 in
the fall of '84).
Unless you're talking Usenet years, in which case I turned 6 in the fall of '84.
Also, I weigh 105 and am a professional model.
Gerry
I'm not enjoying doing all these things with male genitals. The fact is that
if you hate male genitals and like female genitals suggest to me you have
some problems with your HOMOsexuality. You are a lesbian.
Please explain, how can I go straight to hell, if hell doesn't exist?

That's right - a bush. This is also known as a "mangina," which is the terminology
for when men tuck their genitalia thingies between their legs. Or if they're Irish.
> PS: I'm sorry for your nightmare experience and hope you recover soon.
Scally: Thank you. You are a kind man. My therapist tells me I am progressing nicely.
She shows me ink blots of male bushes and asks me what I see. With her help, I have
gotten to the point where I don't have to do "eyesies closies" before answering.

Scally: All sinners think that. Until their judgement day. Then, when they're burning
and when Lucifer is poking and prodding them with his pitchfork - why, like a
homosexual pokes an anus with his penis - they have a rude awakening. Oh, dear. Hell
does exist. And I have gone to it. Why me, God? Why me?
Don't be a sinner, lest you discover the truth on *your* judgement day.

I don't think anyone will be releasing a widescreen version if they
made it that way, I'm sure you can find it damn cheap on Amazon, just
buy a copy and give it a try, the cgi might not have aged well though.

Yes, they do, there are many very nice people there, and as I said
