Not true if the TV is widescreen or does the "squeeze." The scan lines in the black bars are moved into the picture.

480 lines can be in a 1:33 or 2:35 or 1:85 or any other aspect ratio.
The original poster was correct. 2.35:1 picture wastes picture real estate on the black bars. Only 16:9 and 1.33:1 films fill the entire native 720x480 frame with picture data. There is no such thing, with standard DVDs anyway, as 2.35:1 anamorphic enhancement.
