We've been through this before and I said about 'A Bug's Life' having more image top and bottom in its 4:3 form but funnily enough you ignored that lol. Same with Terminator 3 showing Terminator breasts in 4:3 but not widescreen (BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT MEANT TO SEE THEM).

As for that link saying: ---'Stagefright was shot full frame, and matted for theatrical presentation, however, in its full screen video form, the viewer is actually seeing the whole picture, as is the case with most of Stanley Kubrick's works.'---

'Whole picture' is different to 'intended' picture, the 4:3 was just keeping TV and video in mind, not shooting FOR it, for instance 'The Shining's' intended viewing ratio is 1.66:1 and we haven't even had it released like that yet, which is very annoying.

If Soavi comes out and says Stagefright is meant to be viewed in 4:3, then fair enough, but so far you're just using your own viewing tastes and almost spreading disinformation. People who see you saying 'if it's not released in 4:3 it's a waste of time' might be put off buying it unnecessarily.
