Well I understand your opinion on dubbings perfectly well. I never listened to a real great english dub, the best were tolerable at most. But believe me, it is (or: was) different over here, also in France (but I can live very well without dubbings for new films in the future - it becomes worse and worse. Last Friday, I watched Rob Zombies "Halloween" and it was awful). Sometimes I even chose the german language version intentional - if the film is from the 60ies, 70ies or 80ies (when dubbing was an art of its own).
But the pan & scan problem is the same here. Usually I avoid to watch Scope-Films in the wrong aspect ratio but if a film isn't available in a acceptable version... For example, I saw "Ben Hur" twice on TV nine years ago - in an aspect ratio of 1:1,66 (!). I couldn't stand this any longer today...
Btw, are you serious about Fulci?! I can recommend an interesting if not exactly accurate Essay (Thanks to A) to you. But Fulci really is a class of his own - I can understand everybody who hates him. Maybe I should finish my little english review of "Contraband".

October was a pretty rich month...
