Almost every release of every film ever made (on film) is cropped somewhat. It's not that the Blu-Ray is cropped while the D-Theater version isn't. It's that the framing is done slightly differently.

I know that, but there seems to be a fair bit of cropping here to me, and I was also commenting on the trend towards tighter cropping of BD releases in general, and wondering why. For example, the remastered Gangs of New York BD is pretty heavily cropped.

I agree with you in not disliking the new color timing though.

Because of the idiotic complaint of black bars, the same as in not understanding that film is supposed to have grain. Same with the louder is better people for liking their cd's dynamics to be ruined.

Why not sale 2 different versions the ruined one that looks like video, and the filmlike version for purists.
