[Wide Screen vs Full Screen]

documentary:

Ever see the disclaimer: “This movie has been formatted to fit your screen?” Wide Screen Vs. Full Screen features directors explaining the difference between widescreen and pan and scan, which is how films are converted to a format for television. It makes me never want to watch a movie formatted for television again.

This is really interesting. I always wondered about how drastic the change from movie theater to TV was, so this is enlightening. Reminds me of why I prefer widescreen DVDs over fullscreen ones.
