I'm saying that I tend to look more favorably on films that take advantage of a 2.35:1 frame, and on directors who know how to compose their films to take full advantage of said ratio. There are exceptions -- Verhoeven, Allen, Cronenberg, and Kubrick are among my favorite directors, and shot most of their best films in a narrow ratio. But when I enter a theatre to see a new movie, like say THE TERMINAL or VAN HELSING or ANCHORMAN or what have you, I'm always a little disappointed when I see that the director has chosen to shoot in 1.85:1.
