Is this "super 35" factor the reason behind the in 4:3 ratio release of the Stanley Kubrick films "The Shining", "Full Metal Jacket" and "Eyes Wide Shut"??
I must say that I was VERY annoyed to find out that these films aren't presented in a wide screen format - AFTER purchasing the remastered Stanley Kubrick Collection Box Set. Especially in the case of "The Shining".

Reportedly Kubrick shot all his films full frame (4:3). What you are seeing in the theater is actually LESS! The DVDs are not pan and scan. Rather, the top and bottom are shown. Same goes for Titanic actually!
