For the life of me, I still can't figure out why so many people have an aversion to letterboxing. Growing up, I saw hundreds of movies cropped on VHS and yet when I saw my first example of a widescreen presentation, I grasped the concept immediately and thereafter made a point of searching out widescreen tapes. Now I'm far from being a genius so if I can understand aspect ratio, you'd think it wouldn't be a problem for anyone else!
So what was your first reaction to letterboxing?
