You would think that most people were cool with widescreen by now. Well I work at wal-mart and was checking to see how many DVD's were sold that week(cause I get off on statistics, crunching numers and the like...nerdy that way). It was the release week of "Passion of the Christ" and granted that title would appeal to a more casual viewer, but something like 300 FS copies were sold, where as only 120 or so WS ones were sold in the first day or three. And when WS was all that was left, people would refuse to buy that because they wanted the FS version.

I was tripping out. I personally don't give a shanks if people buy WS or FS, as long as the OAR of the movie is availible for me to buy. But still thats just wonky.

Well I know I shouldn't care what others are buying and watching, but I do. Because they perpetuate the disinformation.
