Well at least the reversed surround channels have been addressed.

This cropping may simply be a type of 16x9 pan/scan. I can't think of a better way to discribe it. Unless the packaging states otherwise, Widescreen editions may simply mean 16x9 so we might be seeing a new kind of "full screen" version in the sense that it's intended to fill the screen of an HDTV television. We just lose less of the image.

It's not the case, even with a 16x9 you would still have small black bars on top and bottom, and the film aspect ratio is something like 2.35:1 or something like that...

That's what I said. The DVDs were made for 16x9 TVs - not using the original aspect ratio of the movies. These DVDs are a type of 16x9 full screen transfer - a 16x9 pan\scan version to fill a 16x9 TV screen.
I checked the DVD box while at the store the other day. It does say it is enhanced for 16x9 TVs. It does not claim to respresent the original aspect ratio.
