Why can't MTV air music videos in HD? {TV Squad}
Jul 1st 2009 3:39PM First of all, while I agree that MTV doesn't care about HD, the writer is offbase in taking the higher ground when he is just as guilty as dumbing HD down by wishing for stretch-o-vision and saying that audio doesn't matter for a music channel.
Now if the program or music video is a 16x9 or 2.35:1 image letterboxed in a 4:3 shape embedded in a 16x9 HD signal, I understand the frustration and the HD channel should have the presence of mind to ZOOM proportionally the image to fit widthwise the entire TV while keeping the OAR intact. This solution gives a full screen or a near full screen on an hD tv without the horrible stretchy image.
But if you are advocating stretching everything 4x3 image blindly to a 16x9 full screen, this is idiotic.
You want to make use of the screen? Why not put in pop up video like jokes or straight facts in the side bars?
ANything, but stretchovision.
Maxwell Caulfield: 'Memba Him?! {TMZ}
Jan 16th 2008 9:42AM Oh my god. Sure, he lost a lot of hair. But he looks the same. I notice he may have gotten some hair plugs in the front at some point which is why the pattern looks a little odd. But the guy is a saint for marrying Juliet Mills and sticking with her despite her looking 90. She is not even a young looking 66. She looked 66 back in 1980. What a great man. I wonder if he wore a hairpiece in Empire Records since it was only a decade ago.
