Exactly. If the director INTENDED you to watch the movie in widescreen, you have no business watching what's above and below the framing points, unless you prefer to see movies how the director didn't intend you to see them. You'll just end up with sloppy, poorly defined shots.

servinginecuador,
here is a comparison of open matte & widescreen for lotr:

yes you see more on top & bottom, but 2 of the kings get cut out on the edges.

SWEET JOB REDSHIFTER!!!!!! I do now really see a visual representation of what you had been referring to all alon. You DO get more side-to-side, but at the expense of a little top-to-bottom info. I can live with the lost info on the top and bottm, but I really don't like what I see being cut-off on the sides!! AT ALL!!

I will now definitely sell off my fullscreen in favor of the widescreen.

Great job as usual Redshifter!!!! You are truly a gem my good man!!!

Just to make sure we don't forget Rizumu and his insightful comment here made a few posts before mine and literally my post mirrored his without even knowing it.
