From your post title... you are completely full of shit with this
ridiculous contention.
SNIP
For example Annie Hall and Rocky 3. Look at

I depends on how the original shots were taken. Not all 2.35:1 AR films
get shot in such a way that the 4:3 P&S version shows more than the OR
version. Don't let your lack of understanding of it allow you to become
jaded.

Bullshit... Too late... You're an idiot.

What I just wrote is what is true.

You are absolutely full of shit, and or a 100% trolling, fucktard.

You are a goddamned idiot. That remark was just too stupid for you to
be trolling.

Wrong. The expression for today is ORIGINAL ASPECT RATIO.

You are a total retard. You starred in that film, right?
>The 7:3 versions (usually called 2.35:1) are another ballgame entirely.
No one refers to 2.35:1 as 7x3.
4x3 and 16x9 are display device ratios. Film ratios are always
described as being something to one.
