: CLERKS was shot in 16mm, which has the same aspect ratio as your TV screen. There's no panning and scanning at all.

: Vincent

I was not aware that 16mm had the same aspect ratio as TV... I have never had the oppurtunity to see CLERKS on the big screen. So I have no frame of reference here.

I think I remember reading that CLERKS got bumped up to 35mm for theatrical release. How does that work? Does something get cut from the upper and lower third? Or is it just stretched to fit or what? And is the Letterbox version of CLERKS taken from the 35mm print if I remembered the first part correctly?
