Se7en aspect ratio
If you’re planning on watching Se7en for the series, and can spare the $3.99 to rent it, do so- it’s in its original 2.39:1 format. The version streaming on Hulu now is cropped to 16:9. Not how da Finchman wants you to see it.
what if I wanna rewatch it on my phone while doing laundry
Da Finchman will know
what if that's part of my kink
I can’t stand that shit. With all our televisions being widescreen and even our tablets and phones there is no good reason in my mind to still be cropping and/or pan and scanning. If people can’t handle some bars that’s their damn problem.
Totally, and it seems like more effort to do the resizing/cropping
It is indeed.
Nobody cares about the bars. The people who would complain are the people who have motion smoothing on their TVs. Just leave it in the original aspect ratio! Nobody will care except us weirdos!
Hulu seems to do this all the time, which is incredibly annoying because its movie library is routinely good.
Yeah I don’t watch movies often on Hulu and that’s one reason.
Quite frankly I hate it with digital copies that we “own” most of all. Like when I’m at work I like to watch movies through YouTube movies on my break (because of the data saver”. I tried watching Enemy of the State and after the opening scene ended it pan and scanned. Pissed me off so much I turned it off. I just can’t stand that. Never could.
It should be trivial to offer both options. If device makers gave a shit, it wouldn't even have to be a thing where two files are kept on the servers by content providers. Just make it a standard for every device to have "fill the screen" and "original ratio" as two selectable defaults. If third party apps like VLC, MX Player, etc. can do it, so can the big boys.
WHAT’S IN THE (LETTER)BOX???

I do the exact same thing. Recently tried watching the Equalizer on Starz and I know it just looked wrong. Bad transfer too. Had to rent it
Starz is awful. I can’t believe they’re still getting away with their cropping bullshit. I watched their transfer of Moon on Netflix way back in the late 2000s/early 2010s and it looked like absolute shit.
Add it to the list of reasons why piracy is good for consumers.
And I'll add this to the list of things I'll look up about a movie before deciding where to watch it.
Doing that is one of the deadly sins.

I hate it when streaming copies do this. I first ran into this on Netflix copies of Poltergeist and, or all things, Valley of the Dolls.
I was sitting down to watch John Wick 2 with my fiancé on HBO Max a while back and instantly saw it was cropped. I literally screamed "NOOOOOO" and went straight to Amazon to rent it.
