Shaun Of The Dead - windowboxed?

[F-Man]

Aspect ratio is the measurement of width compared to its height, so it has nothing to do with windowboxing. No matter the ratio, there's no reason a movie shouldn't touch two opposing sides of the screen.

It is really disappointing to see some Blu-rays are still like this (I have Wings of Honneamise and Paprika in my collection that do it) when overscan is a thing of the past. On an LCD, the black is rather obvious and distracting. In the end you still see the whole picture, so the movie's worth buying. I'm just hoping new masters don't do this anymore.
