As you may have heard, a couple of DVD consumers have filed a class-action lawsuit against MGM's home video division and they're inviting others to join them. The assertion is that MGM is marketing "widescreen" versions of their movies that do not really show the entire, wide frame. Instead, they claim, MGM is taking the standard non-widescreen images, chopping off the tops and bottoms, and passing this off as a widescreen presentation. What these guys are alleging struck me as unfounded but I didn't fully realize why until I read this article.
