Super 35 doesn't bother me. 2.35:1 is still the "definitive" ratio for all those films, they were shot protected for 2.35 and that's what everyone saw in theaters. Sure, we got a few films with altered ratios (the old transfers of Star Trek VI, the first DVD of Austin Powers, the HDTV transfers of The Abyss and True Lies, the 3D version of Titanic) but the vast majority of films were/are usually kept in 2.35.

I prefer Panavision, but I was never on the whole Super 35 hatewagon. Most of it usually seemed to be tied into the whole war to get home consumers to accept letterbox, and this idea that filmmakers who used Super 35 were pandering to those philistines who didn't like the black bars.
