2.40:1 to 2.35:1 = anamorphic on dvd but on blu-ray it's widescreen/blackbars???

I know it has already been stated in a previuos thread, but unless the movie is in "anamorphic" you will have "black bars". the 1:85:1 aspect ratio is for the broadcast companies, not the movie industry. notice that if you are watching hd over the air, it fills up the screen, that is the way it`s supposed to be. i seriously doubt that the industry will listen to any of us and make all movies in either 1:85 aspect ratio or anamorphic, we`ll just have to live with it i guess, but i do agree, we paid some serious jack for our tv`s and i`ll be darned if we still don`t have black bars!! too bad we cant get a software upgrade for the ps3 to give us the "black bar eliminator" and not the stupid "zoom" feature that kills quality!
