Gary, I have this ZP disc and it's pretty fine as you say, and wonderful to witness the proper composition, but why oh why not 16:9 enhanced?... What is Warner thinking, or is Warner thinking at all?...It's a strange old world - Sony laid off 1,000 workers worldwide today, could Blu-Ray go the way of Betamax?...

Gary, on your Zabriskie Point comparisson page, you claim the German disc is
"4:3 Aspect Ratio 16x9 Enhanced"
and the French disc is
"2.35:1 Letterbox 16x9 Enhanced
