: so I enjoyed Clerks in Widescreen (which I was suprised of. I'm against changing aspect ratios, but man did this look great. I could barely see any grain, whereas the VHS has it everywhere),
When you see a movie full screen on your television the Aspect Ratio has been changed to fit your screen, where the film is actually pans from left to right depending on where the action takes place. It is called pan & scan, you are actually being robbed of more of the frame than in wide screen where you are just losing screen. TV's should have been made in the same aspect ratio as film.
