Huh. I didn't know anamorphic looked not quite as good as letterbox on a 4:3 set. By that logic I should actually get this new release, then, because I only have a 4:3 20-inch tv to begin with.

I'm as upset as anyone about the non-anamorphic business, because I most definitely plan on getting a ginormous widescreen display as soon as I live on my own and can afford it (I like thinking long-term on this stuff, lol). I s'pose this will be all right for me now, though I'm still not at all pleased.
