There's no way to get out of this cheaply. If you have a 2.35:1 setup you'll end up with black bars on the SIDE with normal 16x9 stuff (like the PS3 games).

It's just the nature of the thing. Most movies right now are 2.35:1, Action movies are almost 100% 2.35:1 witch are larger than 16x9 in Homes.

Unless you want to zoom in, loose 33% of horizontal resolution, more grain (zoom in just blow grain up) etc.. you can't avoid this

Even at Cinema it's like this. Cinema use 2.35:1 screen with Matte Drapes when 16x9 movie is playing, Drape come to hide the extra left and right side of the screen. When a 2.35:1 movie is playing, drapes just move away with a Automatic electric system.
