A carefully calculated name.
Apparently the doughnuts aren't bad.

Along those same lines, I hate movies that were cut from 16:9 or even 2.35:1 into 4:3.

Way back before HD was commonplace, we had a 56" 4:3 rear projection. The MIL was visiting and we watched the movie The Interpreter. She spent most of the movie bitching about the black bars on the top and bottom. I tried to explain it was so the entire movie could be seen and she was convinced I was wrong.

Sydney Pollack to the rescue. It just happened he included in the bonus content the reason he wouldn't let his movies be cut to 4:3. She showed examples of what would have been missed had it been cut. The MIL went to bed in a huff. LOL.

And now lots of streaming services cut 4:3 to 16:9… Equally vile. 🤬

That was actually a thing back when. They would shoot the movie in regular frame and print the crop to get WS. Because, I guess, the anamorphic lenses were too expensive. A bit different from what you mean, though.

Oh yeah. As long as they had the crop in mind when filming and framing everything it’s all good. Creative solution even, you make do with what you have. Cool random stuff!
