The first dvd release of Titanic is a rather unique example of a new release non-catalogue title that, for whatever reason, wasn’t encoded for 16:9 displays.

I was unfortunate enough to pick up that release at a garage sale. I don’t know why Cameron movies have a tendency to get shitty DVD releases. I suppose it’s not as bad as the Abyss, though. I’m not even going to bother with the DVDs, since my Laserdiscs are from the same master. I’ll just hold out until it makes its way to Blu Ray.
