As a father of 3 children who prefer widescreen over pan-and-scan, I find such comments to be entirely without merit. Maybe they should come clean and say "Wal*Mart and Target won't stock these titles unless there's a fullscreen version available."
I'm not planning to write about this--at least, not favorably. CTHE has taken a formerly widescreen DVD and is re-releasing it solely with a modified full-screen presentation. Why CTHE thinks its viewers would want DTS audio (generally favored by audiophiles, who are serious viewers) but not a widescreen presentation is beyond me. Please let them know that's why I'll be passing on it.
Thanks.
