Default Standard Play Movies

It is my hope that consumers start a demand for more standard play movies in the Blu Ray format. There are many who do not find horizontal bars at the top and bottom of flat screens to be appealing. Some can live with it. I very much dislike it. In the late 50s and early 60s, when movies were being shown as "widescreen," if horizontal bars were shown, they would be during the approximate first 3 or 4 minutes of a movie and then they would be gone.

Give the people either one of two choices. Release each movie in a standard and widescreen format or include both formats in each movie and charge a little more money. There seems to be no apparent explanation, as to why a movie like "Journey To the Center of the Earth" (2007), was released in a standard format, while a movie like "Taken" was released in a widescreen format. It is my hope that you feel the same way I do, but how can our voices be heard without paying thousands of dollars to do so? Any one have any suggestions?

joe.
