Yeah thats correct. BU's release was one of the few (if not only) available releases i've seen in its OAR. The arrow release was not there fault, the storaro ratio was the only one they could get, but its still inferior framing to 2:35:1 and the only reasoning for the 2:1 is based on the DPs seeming ignorance of the existance of widescreen tv's.
