Justin,

Coming from someone who gets mad every time a major studio butchers a film 
by cropping it to pan and scan (or cropping an Academy 1.33:1 ratio film to 
16:9 to look sophisticated (yes they have done that, too)), your message is 
heartening.

Give us the most information on the screen as you can.  Whatever the 
masters were, that is what to give us.

I am now greatly looking forward to Capitol Theater gig filling my 106" 
screen, turned up to 11, of course. ;-))

Take care.

Jacques
