A movie changing its aspect ratio intentionally can be cool and elevate the artistry of the film, fwiw.
The bit in Galaxy Quest where Tim Allen realized he’s actually in fucking space was impressive because of the aspect ratio and it allows us to understand his idea of the world is becoming bigger.

If you have a billion dollars you can do something flat out illegal, against the very ethics of humanity, and absolutely treasonous, and it will be considered "controversial."

if I was a robot on a space station who suddenly became self-aware, I don't know if I'd go immediately murderous. I think I'd just fuck with people for a while since they'd never ever suspect me. Move their stuff around, readjust clocks, intentionally make rooms too hot or too cold, etc.

My daughter was watching a video about new Fireman Sam.
Specifically that the Pontypandy fire station had been changed again, and there were more new characters.
"It wasn't like that in my day!" She exclaimed!
Dear, you're 15!

The perfect example of why I love old school toku. A lady entering a psychedelic time tunnel. Then cut to a doll version of her being dropped to simulate her getting transported through. Silly and utterly charming all at the same time. 💖
