As an amaruer artist, I would find it maddening to work in a media (as a director) where your final product is made into wide screen version, not so wide screen version, video verson(s), and television verion. At least. But, it does seem kind of deceptive, hell downright deceptive if they are in truth, giving you less in the widescreen version--but hey. May one day we can get Moble Fidelity or Chesky re-issues to get more!

directors are aware of the different framings and film with that in mind. directors also have a hand in recutting their films for airplanes and tv.during shooting, many playback screens have rectaangular frames showing the picture as both widescreen and fullscreen in playback. often times the fullscreen does give you more on top and bottom (think of the two intersecting rectangles in a cross shape). the actual picture image shot is often bigger than what you see on screen at the theater - it's up to the theater to frame it correctly, else you might see the mike boom at the top of the picture.
"widescreen" that cuts out top and bottom compared to full screen is not deceptive advertising - widescreen a matter of framing the picture to make it look pleasing within that aspect ratio, not giving you more to the sides. often when you add width to the picture, you need to take off the top and bottom to make the image look better within that frame.
