Re: [REL] The River Rat (1984)
Still no release on DVD or bluray, but yesterday I stumbled across one of those beautiful high quality webrips. Next best thing!
Martha Plimpton was only 12 when she filmed this, her first real film role starring opposite Tommy Lee Jones before his career took off and made him a household name.

Wow today is one of the busiest days I've ever had on FLM. Thanks goku, and thank you once AGAIN deadman. This looks really interesting, I am excited to add this to my watchlist.
No matter what I do, mega won't let me download any more, but even if I did, it would go into the emule directory anyways.

Re: [REL] The River Rat (1984)
We overloaded the demand on deadman's MEGA links. I am doing quite well on downloading the emule links, because he seems to share them forever and other people have them too.

No. More likely the TV version is "open-matte", and the HD version is the correct cinematic ratio. Unless there's something to see in the uncropped version (Pretty Baby springs to mind) then there's going to be little interest in the open-matte version .

The technique used to get movies into the 4:3 aspect for broadcast in pre-HD times (when people lived in caves and hunted with spears) was called pan and scan. What we saw on our TV screens was that portion of the full movie picture that fit in a 4:3 "box". You had to decide which portion of the image was most important for the audience to focus on in each scene because you couldn't show it all.
You'd expect them to remaster from the original theatrical print for the 16:9 aspect. But sometimes they seem to take the pan and scan raw cut and get widescreen by chopping off the top and bottom. It looks like normal letterboxing but it's not. They've deleted parts of the image to get those black bars. I don't know for certain that this is actually what they do, but at least in some cases a VHS Rip does look to be exactly what you'd get by restoring what was in the black bars - and VHS versions of movies were the product of a pan and scan process. If a proper remaster is released at some point and you compare the two, it can be surprising how much was discarded.
