Widescreen

Last night I was watching Doom – which, not surprisingly, was terrible, though I thought the scene where he effectively becomes the guy in the game was quite amusing. Anyway, despite how bad the movie was, I couldn’t help but thinking how great movies are when they’re shot in widescreen mode.

So this got me thinking, what if you could spend your whole life in widescreen mode? Figuring that having your eyes fully opened equates to fullscreen, I tried half-closing my eyes, which eliminates the top and bottom 15% or so of my vision. And to my delight, this was like having the two black bars at the top and bottom of the TV moved to my eyes, which gives a wonderful, widescreen effect!

It also has the added bonus of making my eyes look less puffy. Yep, I think this is definitely how life was meant to be lived. I think I’m going to try and use widescreen mode as much as possible, and see if it catches on!

Perhaps epicanthic fold augmentation will become the new fad….
