First, what?
Second, I just make sure I have 16:9 then I enjoy the movie. What's wrong with that?

First, I meant that when watching a 16:9 movie, as opposed to 2.35:1, the overall picture is bigger on a 16:9 TV (due to there being no black bars), so maybe that accounts for it "coming out of the screen". There is no other magical occurence that could make it do that better than a 2.35:1 picture.

Second, I'm not sure what you mean when you say you make sure you have 16:9, but I didn't say there was anything wrong with anything, but I was simply was pointing out that I think some people worry to much about the aspect ratio of what they're watching, rather than the actual content of the programme or film.
