But no big deal. I've resigned myself to the fact that both formats suck... Full screen: Not panoramic. Edited, clipped, trimmed, and cut from what the original shot footage would have been. 'Nuff said. Widescreen: Because I don't have the $10K for a 16:9/HDTV/panoramic/variable ratio plasma display, widescreen movies suck ass because of all the wasted screen real estate above and below the picture. There's nothing more annoying than popping a brand new DVD into the ol' changer, and suddenly realizing that the movie is about half an inch tall on a 27" TV. Feh. Humbug, I sez...

In the meantime I still like seeing the whole picture, even if it is a bit smaller. I sit too close to the TV anyway... :-) My reasoning is that one day I *will* have a widescreen/HDTV set, and then I can enjoy them all properly without having to rebuy them all again.
