Ok, here the question is Peter Jackson a 2.35:1 director, The
Frighteners looks 2.35 to me, and Heavenly Creatures I know is, but what
are the true aspect ratio's of Braindead, and Bad Taste, since I suspect,
Meet The Feebles is either 1.66 or 1.33 due to the puppets. Please answer
my questions.It is a need to know peter jackson question

Huh? Films have aspect ratios, but directors don't*. I've only seen
"Feebles" on videotape so I'm not sure what it was, but there's nothing
about puppets which dictates a given aspect ratio.

* OK, so everybody has an aspect ratio. But usually we just use words like
"stocky" or "slender" to describe it.

I believe that "Bad Taste", "Meet The Feebles" and "Braindead"/"Dead Alive"
were all released at 1.66. "Heavenly Creatures" and "The Frighteners" were
indeed 2.35 pictures - "Creatures" in anamorphic, and "Frighteners" in Super
35. As for Jackson's personal aspect ratio, I can't say for sure ... kind of a
pear-shaped format, I guess.

Bad Taste 1.66 (16mm blown up to 35mm)
Meet The Feebles 1.66
Brain Dead 1.85
Heavenly Creatures 2.35
Frighteners 2.35


There you go, also writer to me if you want a list of all the cut scenes in
the American release of Heavenly Creatures.
