Why does this image exist? It doesn't demonstrate anything. -- Repowers 05:26, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

It was... substantially warped. It was a stretched-out image of the fullscreen version, compared to a squished-up version of the widescreen movie. The point was, obviously, to illustrate that the widescreen movie chops the top and bottom off the fullscreen picture, and it did do that, but the sizes of the images were screwed up enough for it to be hard to tell. I've just attempted to upload a picture that properly illustrates this, but I should obviously have looked at the discussion for the Hot Shot biocard image before dong so.

Stick it on webspace or something, I wanna see. -Derik 20:06, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

Missing the top and bottom of the screen to delude oneself into thinking one is watching a widescreen movie is so worth it. :P --FFN 20:28, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

Ooh, good example! Better than the existing one with Prowl's hand and Ironhide's chair as points of reference. I still think this image would work with the layout better stacked vertically though. (With black matting bars included.) -Derik 20:39, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

Vertically stacked images are much harder to place in an article, though. --FFN 20:48, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

I suppose that depends on how long the section this will be slotting into goes. -Derik 20:55, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

My thought was if they were side-to-side, you can just look straight across, and see, directly opposite, what is missing. Vertically stacking... well, it doesn't remove it, or anything, but I think it dampens the effect a bit. But here's what she looks like:

Hrm... I rescind my suggestion. Horizontal is better. -Derik 20:56, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

Yes, yes!! THIS is what the image on the movie page should look like. Excellent. -- Repowers 21:01, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

This this or that this? -Derik 21:22, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

That one. Or that other one. (They both answer my original gripe.) -- Repowers 21:32, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
