that boggles my mind.
it is a far bigger issue than losing an 'elbow'
a scene is shot with the entire frame in mind.
if you took a classic painting from a museum and zoomed in on the main character ... are you seeing the same picture ?
you lose the origional composition, balance, etc.
sure in a steven segal movie - who cares .. but in something someone took some time and effort with - you are watching a completely different film.
have you seent he comparrison on the back of the box ? you're missing 1/3 of the picture.
i think formatting a film to fit the screen should be banned.
