Given that widescreen is standard on all commercial DVDs and blurays these days, I don’t see why Harmy or anyone else should go to extreme lengths to satisfy the >1% of people who want “full screen” capabilities for whatever freaking reason. You wanna talk about the “casual viewer” and the “majority of people”, well the casual majority doesn’t care about a couple black bars allowing you to see the whole freakin unobstructed image.
But I’m sorry your fruitless attempts to adhere something to your weird ass preferences ruined the experience for you.
