I can also relate somewhat to poor Jack having to give up shooting film, matted to 1.85:1, to be shown in theaters, just to make grainy VHS tapes shown at 1.33:1. The dialogue between Kurt and Bill showed how seriously they took the shooting. While I'm sure Jack would enjoy the internet era bringing in high definition and widescreen, he'd lament that porn theatres never made a comeback and that people would watch on laptops and phones. Nor do they shoot feature length porn-with-plot's anymore - Lisa Ann's Nailin' Palin series was a bit of a throwback in that sense. It's also interesting that porn never made a substantial jump to 2.39:1 in any era. No point in making it wider than the screen, I suppose. 16:9 (1.77:1) is the ultimate compromise ratio, which is why it was chosen.
