DVD Tax On The Stupid
Not that I'm considering buying a movie as crappy as The Lady In The Water... but I'm glad to see that the full-screen version is more expensive at Amazon than the wide-screen version:

I think that all full-screen DVDs should cost more than wide-screen versions. Think of it as a tax on stupid people.

Ugh... you don't know how often I try to explain the whole WS-FS thing to people. They just don't get it :( WS or nothing at all.
Seriously. If anything, they should just make double-sided disks for the fools who think they're losing something with the black bars and don't realize about cropping, distorting, and pan 'n scan. I love the idea of charging more for fullscreen and support it fully.
Um...unless something was originally shot in that aspect ratio, of course. I don't need to pay more for my old tv shows. ;)

Fool that I am, I don't think I even noticed that there are two kinds....I'm thinking of waking up in 2007 though.
Aw, you're no fool, Lorna.
I just found a great flash file through Swimming in Champaign that nicely explains the difference between the 2 formats:

Now if they could just charge more for shitty movies, that would be great. Lady In The Water would probably cost around $100.
