quote:After I rewound the tape and pushed the play button for this group of executives, they saw the instantaneous replay of the movie. Apparently CBS's CEO had the same exact idea as me because as soon as Ghostrider first appeared we yelled out "HOW'D IT GET BURNED?" in our best Wicker Man impressions. The rest of the people in the studio loving lost it and the rest of the movie turned into a MST3K riff fest. Afterwards, pandemonium broke out with wild clapping and cheering for five full minutes. And thus, the VCR was born.

I'm not a grandpa and I don't get the fascination of watching the latest Hollywood blockbusters on a 5" phone, 7" tablet, laptop, etc. Sure if you're traveling or 14 and watching porn or movies your parents don't want you to watch in your bed at night, sure. Otherwise, I'll stick to streaming Netflix/Hulu/Amazon/Plex to my TV. Also, vcrs were handy for recording, but the tapes degrade so fast after repeated viewings. I "inherited" a large vhs library when I was moved from the middle school to high school and most of the stuff was apparently recorded between 2006-2009 and I'm going to trash all of it when I get back to school next week because the picture on almost all of it looks washed-out, grainy, or audio is weird. I guess it could be the player, but I have digital copies of everything now so screw it. That and rewinding sucks. Kirk Vikernes fucked around with this message at 13:42 on Jul 24, 2016 |

nigga crab pollock posted:i remember for a while dvd players were vaguely expensive and so a bunch of people i knew just had ps2s. too bad the drive mechanism on fat ps2s is probably one of the worst things ever designed and everyone had replaced theirs by like 2005 because it wouldn't open or read disks anymore Mine still works fine. Sorry about your luck.
