Thanks,

I don't know for sure if the back ground is suppose to be out of focus or not, as in "artistic effect". I'm waiting for Twister to try the scene with the checkered pattern jacket to see if I can see what the effect is.

I did play the scene in Eraser in wide screen version as well as the pan and scan version. It made the wavy lines with Wide Screen too. Now that I think about it, I didn't change the configuration for the DVD so it was set to being connected to a 4:3 TV. I guess I could mess with that, play the scene and see what happens.
