Aspect ratios

[beccaelizabeth]

My TV says not to leave black gaps around the picture or it'll burn in and go stripy
which is daft, but I tend to follow instructions, so very rarely watch without stretching the picture to fit
(usually when there's subtitles - they need to invent a way to keep them on screen. seriously.)

This means
everyone in modern movies is veryvery skinny
and
everyone in classic TV is, er, cuddly widths


classic TV is therefore made of win.
