Look at how well Starz titles turned out because of NR. I bet if you took away the NR all of their initial line up would look like nothing but a poor DVD upconvert.

Agreed. In the 300brd thread, there are arguments again that DNR and grain removal is akin to upconvert dvd. I disagree completely. I think it isn't about pan & scan vs widescreen being the same. I think it is film purists that are just trying to argue that films look terrible when you remove the grain and noise. In some cases, it should stay, but if 300 had been without the noise, and still had the same level of detail (which I think it could have), then it really wouldn't have bothered me. Perhaps the director and some purists would throw hissy fits, but if blu-ray movies don't have to look like "Sleepy Hollow" or "Hoosiers" then I won't be registering any complaints.
