What you're looking at is almost certainly what "this one movie" would look like at the projector, either on film or video, before being properly expanded by a set of anamorphic lenses. Anamorphic lenses are 2:1 (or thereabouts). There is another fix available for "this one movie" that just fiddles with the IFO and early VOB files -- but by definition this won't fix the aspect ratio correctly. The best such a fix can do is get it to 16:9, which isn't right. So I'd avoid the quick fix.
If you want to do it yourself, get DGIndex, AviSynth, VirtualDubMod, and TMPGEnc. DGIndex "this one movie" to generate the appropriate D2V file, write a quick script in AviSynth (you'll need to include LanczosResize, of course, as well as AddBorders), load it all up in VDubMod to see how it looks, then feed it to TMPGEnc for encoding. Should take less than 4 or 5 hours, maybe?
If you're really hardcore (even more hardcore than Cody k), you'd also decimate "this one movie," because every fourth frame is repeated. Check the timecode: the one on the left is frames of video (i.e. the rightmost number runs from 0 to 29) and the TC on the right is frames of film (i.e. runs from 0 to 23). The one on the right "freezes" when frames are duplicated. Get rid of those, and it'll be smaller and nicer than the original...
I'm going to go see "this one movie" in the theatre this weekend, but that's not stopping me from downloading "this one movie" while it's available.
