My point is that whatever the size and shape of your frame, it's how you fill it that counts. Just sticking bars on it doesn't make Eddie's test up there any more cinematic because he's gone for a very flat composition and there's no focal point for your attention.
I agree that what you put in the frame is more important then the aspect ratio of the film but real movies are in widescreen for a good reason. Our eyes see the world in a widescreen format not in 4:3.
But that doesn't by any means mean that anything not in 16:9 can't be cinematic.
