You dont understand the hatred some of the older people have for Widescreen. Its basically the idea that they bought a so and so inch tv and half the screen is blank. They care more about that then they do the fact that half the movie is missing. I know for a fact my mother hates widescreen as I had to take a Widescreen DVD I got her back for a fullscreen, and when she came over one night I had to use the ZOOM button to put my Widescreen movie into psuedo Full Screen mode, which is about 100% worse since it enlarges the pixelation and makes everything grainy. Plus, she stopped watching most of the NBC shows that do their shows in psuedo widescreen because of the black bars (even though on my 27 inch TV they are like less than an inch high and I think she has the same size TV as I do).
