I think that arguments different. Letterbox (wide screen, original ratio, whatever) actually shows you more of the film, just in less screen space. Pan and Scan is like not being able to hear the high-hats and the bass at the same time. Hey, I don't just get all anal-trainspotter about music you know.

And subject to their own set of perverse chart-rules. Personally I'd rather have 30 minutes of magic, than 5 hours of noodle-doodle. Of course, if RDJ is actually 30 minutes of noodle-doodle I'm going to be mightily pissed off. Besides, do you think that, contrary sod that he is, Aphex is going to recall RDJ and repress it with another 40 minutes? Come to think of it, he could stick all of Hangeable Auto Bulb at the end, but then I'd happily buy that on it's own. At the end of the day, it's his decision, and no way is it his most perverse one yet. Phil PS BloodSugarSexMagik would have made a wicked single album, but this is true of virtually every double (or more) album. PPS Limited editions are only cool if you actually have them. PPPS Can you still get the american Analogue Bubblebath CD, and which ABs does it have on it? the horror, the horror...
