HAHA!

Poidog, you crack The Rock up. On one hand you support the director's vision and respect the artistic value (removing the digital characters and selling EWS in the unrated format), but on the other hand you are essentially saying, "Screw artistic vision or director's intent, I want it widescreen because that is the way movies should look." The Rock is more of a purist, and you have to realize that it is just a psychological barrier you have to get over to watch movies like EWS in 4:3 format and not think of them as television instead of cinema.

But, to each his own. And, for what it is worth, The Rock understands where you are coming from. It seems like widescreen would be better...but only in most cases.

Bottom line: Really, as far as ratio goes, The Rock would prefer whatever the director wants. Does widescreen look better? Yeah, most of the time, and as long as you aren't making it widescreen for the sake of what movies are supposed to look like. As for the unrated version, The Rock wants to see that because the digital characters severely hamper the film's integrity, despite the scene with the characters being brief.
