The reason that most are so passionate about watching widescreen versions is "because it's what the director intended". So why on earth would you want a matted version of EWS when full-frame is clearly what Kubrick intended? How is chopping the top and bottom off the image any better than chopping the left and right sides off?
I think the lack of an unrated version is a big bone-headed maneuver by Warner. They would fly off the shelves if they were unrated, just because people would want to see what they missed. Now, not only have you lost that little bit of enticement, but you have people angry over censorship, especially given the recent popularity of the uncensored American Pie.
This quote goes out to Warner:
"Stooopid!! You're so stoopid!!!!!"

I think if we want to start up a campaign, we should fight against the SOURCE of this problem, which is the MPAA rating system, or the theater industry which refuses to carry NC-17 movies. I'm really getting tired of seeing watered-down movies. Other countries don't have this problem, so why on earth does the country that boasts freedom of speech have the proverbial stick up it's rectum when it comes to movies?
