What windowboxing amounts to - even for 4:3 sets - is a serious loss of resolution in exchange for a tiny amount of information at the sides of the screen. (See the review of The Virgin Spring at DVDBeaver.com to see what I'm talking about). This is really a dumb idea, and I'm am shocked that Criterion would release anything in this format.
I was really looking forward to the forthcoming upgrade of The Seven Samurai, but no way would I shell out $30+ for a windowboxed version. Hopefully Criterion will change their mind on this. I would recommend everyone sign the petition to Criterion.
