Frogboy, they do it that way because, when shooting at 1.85:1, it's more expensive to shoot hard-matted (with black bars on the negative). So they shoot at the more squarish aspect ratio of 1.33:1, and cut off the top and bottom (which, most of the time, are never intended to be seen).

Can you post the email you received? I'm not doubting it, but it would be nice to see for assurance.

I forget what movie it was, but the film was just slightly lower than it should have been, and so we saw the hanging microphone (ya know, the furry-looking gray colored one) in every scene to follow
That would be a Boom Microphone.

I saw the same thing during "Nurse Betty".. and I saw it with a theater full of film students.. Every Body saw that thing.. It was Hilarious!!
