April 20 movie: Hero. Another boo to IFC for showing a wonderful Chinese movie in a terrible format. The dubbing wasn't that bad I suppose, but if you know the actors' voices then it becomes more intrusive that they aren't speaking with their own voices. And the pan and scan is a serious problem with a visual movie like this. And yet, I still watched it. I'm a sucker for Maggie Cheung.

boos for Encore, actually, which seems to routinely show all foreign movies dubbed and rarely does widescreen versions. boos also for Time Warner Cable -- higher bills, fewer channels.
I started watching Hero DVR'd from IFC or Encore or whatever it was (I did not see it in the theater), but when I realized it both dubbed AND not letterboxed, I opted to wait and go for the DVD.
