not only that, but you are also seeing *all* of what the director
videoed... they work with equipment that is much wider than what the
average CRT TV can display... i don't recall what the resolution of a movie
theater screen is but that's the target, anyway... this is why most all
movies you see on TV have something in the beginning about their having
been modified... they've been modified by cutting a few inches off of each
side of the screen so that you can see the central portion of the video...
the problem with this is that many times the directors also had something
else going on in the back left area that they wanted watchful folk to
see... however, you can't even see it on TV because of the trimming of the
sides that was done...

Bye bye!
