Ok, I just went and bought the full-screen and watched it, AND I AM IN SHOCK!  :o

There is MORE of EVERYTHING.  It's as if they shot the movie in full frame 1.33:1 and then cropped it down to 1.85:1 for the theatres.  >:(  I feel totally jipped on the theatre experience now.

You should go check out the Dave Cullen site for a great analysis of the wide screen vs. the full screen. It was pretty cool.

You-bet, thank you for the info!!!

I am so getting the full screen version too. Can't wait to watch it.
LOL, I love it when I have a new reason to watch this film, it absolves me of feeling any guilt or questioning my sanity. Although, afterwards it's like I'm sucked back into the black hole of grief and sadness.

You're welcome.  :)

I've once again updated the link in my post above so it will now take you directly to the DVD message thread (bypassing the profile link) where the screencap comparison begins and continues for several pages thereafter.

Hmmm, I wonder if Focus Features knows how many of us are already "double dipping". :o
