Yes, it's not a nice thing, especially the dubbing issue (I'll try to see less of those in 2008). But one has to get used to wrong aspect ratios in German cinemas. Especially silent films are almost never shown in 1.19: 1, but in the standard Academy ratio of 1.37: 1 - the way most of them are also released on DVD. Fortunately our own cinema can show an aspect ratio of 1.19: 1 (If I think of our screening of Dreyer's Vampyr (1930) - what a revelation!!). Some sort of cropping is usually also applied for 2.35: 1 or wider aspect ratios. And sometimes the projectionist is either lazy or ignorant, and crops the image on one, two or all sides, sometimes 1.66 becomes 1.85, etc. 

I didn't use to notice this before, but since I got introduced to projecting techniques myself last year, I tend to see all of this immediately.
