This is useless knowledge, but does anyone every wonder why they put "this film has been modified from its original version to fit your tv screen" on your dvd. I mean we all know that it's not like it is in the movies...anyone know why they put that?

Its because the movie is in full screen. when its in the movie theatre it is presented in widescreen format. whenever they modify a film in anyway it must be noted that it is not the same as it was presented in the theatres.
also do you ever wonder why so many new dvds are "unrated" it is because the MPAA rates films before they are run in theatres. when they are put on dvd if any scences are added they cannot use the MPAA's logo and rating because those scenes have not been rated by the MPAA. so even if the film is an extended scene of a man running down a hallway they still need to put it as unrated because the MPAA didn't see that scene. just some interesting stuff.

when you resize a picture, and shrinking it isnt enough, you cut from the sides.
it means that you do not get to see as much as you could.
wide screen movies do not say that.
also, it is a safety anti-piracy feature like the black dot in the corner of the theater..

because believe it or not some people would assume that it's going to be just like it was at the movies
