Education in the theater is a great idea Mr. Kleist!
We need to sell this idea to the pro OAR directors, as well as the studios. If we could get the likes of George Lucas, Martin Scorsese, Steven Spielbert, and other current box-office greats on board we would have a heck of a start.
I can envision it as a quick sampling of either that director's work, or some classic along the lines of Lawrence of Arabia, or Bridge over River Kwai.
It could be a 30, or 45 second clip without dialog, but occasionally flashing subtitles "see the driver of the jeep?", along with a pullback to OAR "You do if you are watching OAR!". End the clip with something akin to THX's "We are listening", I would vote for "Original Aspect Ratio - See what you've been missing ...on your television!".
I'd hate to see yet one more advertisement placed in front of the feature presentation, but in this case, it only drives the point home in the most impressive way possible! A captive audience, and a large impressive screen!
Happy Holidays!
