MGM class action lawsuit: 'theatrical wide screen' DVDs

Apparently all of MGM's 'theatrical wide screen' DVD releases for the last few years have been the pan-scanned versions with the top and bottoms cut off. I checked this against my copy of CQ, and it's true. The list (PDF) of butchered movies includes almost every Woody Allen film, Silence of the Lambs, and Ghost World, just to name a few. If you own any of the eligible movies, you have until March 31 to either opt to exchange your copy for $7.10, or a new DVD from MGM, presumably in its proper aspect ratio.

This is why everyone needs to drop the whole full screen vs. wide screen argument. All I care about is the Original Aspect Ratio and I think DVDs should be labled with OAR or Not OAR so all this confusion can end.
