Do you refuse to watch full screen movies?

MODS: This guy has some serious issues other than related to his widescreen addiction. BAN! =P

all my friends are starting to get these big wide screen hdtv's, and all of them put it in 'stretch' mode when on normal tv so it stretches out the 4:3 regular cable tv to 16:9 and it looks horrible everything is facked up

I ask then WTF tv looks like sheit on your $10k tv and they are like 'well I paid for all 50-whatever inches I want to use 'em"

Wonder if they hated letterbox on their 4:3 for similar reasons? Seems to me to be the same thought process.

OAR, no matter what.

Hell, I even watch movies in OAR on a 14" portable, even if they are in 2.35:1 or wider!

I'm watching the film to see what's going on in it, not to fill up my display.

I'm glad I'm in the UK where most of our programmes are in widescreen!

i barely lean towards widescreen. I have a 27" 4:3, so it's not like I've got much to see
