Just had to share this:
I was in Best Buy picking up my widescreen copy of Star Wars Trilogy, and I noticed that the guy behind me had the fullscreen version. I wasn't going to say anything, but he looked like a nice enough guy and I figured maybe I could convince him how much picture he would be losing by buying the fullscreen version. In the past, people have been very thankful if I mention the difference because sometimes it isn't very clear that there are multiple versions of the movie.
So, I said "Fullscreen, huh? You know that cuts off a lot of the original picture, right?"
The man looked me dead in the eye and said "F**k you."
What do you say to that? I was kind of flabbergasted, so I just turned around and walked out. I'm amazed that someone was SO passionate about getting the fullscreen version that they reacted that way!
