Depends on why you're citing it and whether or not it applies.  In this case,
it doesn't.  Eyes Wide Shut was shown theatrically in 1.66:1/1.85:1 for some
other reason (I don't claim to know what that reason was), not because
theaters werent equipped to show it that way.  Therefore, appealing to it
here neither supports your claim nor invalidates my question.

Just trying to better understand your position...

I only bring it up because obviously theaters are capable of showing that
ratio.  The fact that Eyes Wide Shut was shot in 1.37:1
