Well, of course I have. But I don't think either one of us have seen a
movie in our house that is projected from 35mm film. So, it's a moot
point.

Uh, huh. Right. At 1920x1080, it is not that far from the actual visible
resolution of the film in most movie theaters, and 1920x1080 is a pipe
dream in a lot of them. Then, too, there are movies that have only about
2000x1300 resolution in the first place, because that's the resolution
at which the special effects were done. For movies that get scanned in
after the final cut for digital color correction, you end up with even
lower resolution.
