Oh I thought they were airing the latest ‘Halloween’ (made as a direct sequel to the original) which was actually pretty good.
Considering that just came out last year, unlikely. You always have to wait about 2-3 years for a FTA movie premiere.
I’m in, but only for a few classic Treehouse of Horror eps. Seen the movie remake “IT” at the cinemas, it was actually rather good, recommended!
I’ll stick around for The Simpsons but not for IT, crap movie…… needed a SH in front of it.
It was on Netflix until recently. Ad free and in HD. I notice it’s disappeared now ahead of this premiere
Strange 7 are not premiering the film It on it’s main channel in HD , but instead on a SD channel .
They’re probably trying to avoid complaints from disgruntled parents who don’t know what “MA15+”, “horror themes”, “violence”, or “parental lock” means.
why not show it on 7HD , the sooner 7 does a 2nd hd channel the better sbs has what 3 even nine has 2
Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t It on Thursday at 9pm (that’s the time 7mate has been advertising).
I agree that the episodes that Seven has access to are not as good, but the blame should be put onto Fox and not Seven. And does anyone know when Season 31 begins on 7mate?
I left out the Thursday info, sorry, fixed!
It’s unfortunate that Seven only seem to have access to the butchered versions of the 4:3 episodes, which have been “remastered” by cropping/stretching/pan+scanning the first 20 seasons from 4:3 to 16:9, cutting out about 25% of the image. In situations where detail integral to the shot would be missing by cropping the image to 16:9, they stretch the image instead.
It’s not like reframing 35mm film content that was originally broadcast at 4:3 as 35mm film is not strictly 4:3 or 16:9, so sacrifices are made when framing the image either way (as was the case with the new 16:9 versions of the early seasons of The X-Files, and the Seinfeld remasters, just to name a couple), but The Simpsons was strictly 4:3 until the latter half of season 20.
I basically refuse to watch any show that has been bastardized by this process ,if people can’t accept that shows will have black bars at the side of the screen that’s bad luck.
This really annoys me especially historical documents that should always be left the way they were filmed and in black and white where shot.
I’m with you Cathode Ray. I was going to check out the Simpsons marathon, until I heard they have stretched and butchered the episodes. It’s funny to think the black bars at the sides bother people more than seeing the full picture.
