Columbia's Going Pan & Scan Happy!

On the heels of the absurd news about the upcoming Stuart Little Deluxe Edition being fullframe DVDFile reports that Columbia is at it again. You can add 84 Charing Cross Road, 2001: A Space Travesty, To Gillian on Her 37th Birthday, Mo' Money, Sweet Hearts Dance and (a personal favorite of mine) The Villain to the pan & scan chopping block list. All I can say is who the @#&$ is in charge over there? I don't understand the idea of completely undercutting your very faithful early DVD adopters who insist on OAR presentation 100% of the time. What ever happened to dual version discs? I really don't care if the studios release pan & scan as long as there is always an OAR version available too. Anyway if this irks you as much as it does me, go sign this petition NOW. I'm #58.
