I mean really, it's 2007. What on earth is the excuse for studios putting out pan and scan versions of their movies on DVDs? I can sort of understand why they did it in 1997 and 1998 when the format was new and most people were used to their pan and scan VHS tapes, but now it's just inexcusable.
How are we supposed to advocate for the widescreen presentation of movies to the masses when studios keep churning out the pan and scan editions of movies that Joe Average consumer snaps up without realizing what they're missing?
It particularly bothers me when they release a movie on DVD in pan and scan that's never had a proper widescreen home video release before- they have a chance to finally release it in the proper aspect ratio, and they don't do it!
