Make two layers of your video, scale up the bottom one to fill your screen and add a blur to it. Done.

Agreed. Also consider adjusting the levels to desaturate and/or dim the background video.

Your rationale makes sense, but expect portrait mode to become more prevalent in the future. I recently saw stats stating that over 60% of internet use is via smartphone or tablet, and 20-25% of Americans use a mobile device as their only computer. In addition, many retailers are mounting digital displays in portrait mode for content delivery. So, sure, landscape makes sense for cinema and television, but there are other forms of media where portrait might be preferred. I think we should be flexible and open to the possibilities.
