Ok folks, we finally have a real chance to make a difference and have Sony Pictures place the subtitles of their scope films inside the picture area where they belong!
Subtitles in the lower black bar are a major problem for users with CIH (Cinemascope) setups because they just disappear in the masking!
Penton-Man, a Blu-ray insider with very close ties to Sony Pictures, has initiated a poll on blu-ray.com to find out what the majority of users think about subtitle placement:

Here is a good description of what the alternatives are:

And here is the poll:

Even if you are not registered there yet, I think it's absolutely worth it to register even if it's only for voting in this poll because Penton can really make things happen at Sony. For example he recently initiated a poll about user preference for either Dolby TrueHD or DTS HD MA:

As the clear majority voted for DTS HD MA, he posted the following:
"The DTS-HD Master Audio vs. Dolby TrueHD poll proved useful and you all will be seeing the results of that in titles coming later this Fall.

So please, vote in the new poll to make sure the result is clear enough to make SPHE change their subtitle placement!!!
