I'm beginning to suspect that this is not Andrew, and instead some troll
is posting using his nickname.
If even TV is not square (it's 4:3), how in the world could you ever
think that movies are square? I don't get it.
The narrowest aspect ratio used in movies for the past 20+ years has
usually been 1.85:1. The most common aspect ratios for big movies today
is 2.25:1 and even 2.35:1 (that's well over twice as wide as tall).
