Letterbox is related to Widescreen. Pillarbox is what you should be referring to.

No, it's letterboxed 4:3 video. Watched on a standard def 4:3 set, it will be letterboxed. It's only pillarboxed if watched on a widescreen set.

The best way to describe it is non-anamorphic widescreen. It's still in it's 2.35 aspect ratio, but it's not anamorphic video, so zooming it on widescreen sets would be the optimal way to view them.
