Watching Twitter tonight has taught me one thing, Phillies fans are a bunch of whiny dicks. But it's ok, every tank needs a bottom feeder.

So the real question is not why are there black bars, the question is WTF is causing every DVD producer to either not crop to 16x9 or producers from shooting in that format!

How old are you 15? Why do teenagers get so angry when they don't understand something. It's like all the dorks on the PS3 forums getting angry they can see film grain with HD movies.
The reason they don't crop when making the discs is because a lot of people would rather see the movie in the CORRECT aspect instead of things being cut out. I'm sure you will see more people shooting in 16x9 in the future since digital movie cameras are becoming more popular. The fact is though 2.35:1 is extremely common and is used all the time in theaters. Many directors like it. I often prefer it too as long as it's on a BIG screen. Widescreen to me is completely useless on small laptop screens because vertical resolution is paramount. Not sure why people get so choked up about black bars. They are black. If they were white I might understand the problem or I guess if you have 22" screen.
