No offense, but start reading from the very first post because you don't know what you're talking about. Your opinion was not formed from actual knowledge. It's based on your personal preference. And the rest of us shouldn't be subjected to 2.35 images being cropped to fit a 16:9 screen because of a person's preference.

It's like saying filmmakers should stop making movies in black and white, or studios should start colorizing all black and white films, because all tv's are made to display color. Ridiculous. Maybe the majority of us would like to see the movies the way they were intended to be seen.
