I said "a simple crop" -- as in, hacking the top and bottom of the BR scenes without shifting them would look odd, hence why I mentioned the action not always being in the middle. I guess I'll have to be more specific next time.
That's what I understood you to mean. The Blu-ray releases of the "Dark Knight" films play just fine on a scope screen when performing the "simple crop" which you describe. My own home theater is set up for constant image height, for which I utilize my projector's vertical stretch option in combination with an anamorphic lens. The framing of these two films does not suffer by being cropped in this way.
