Interesting timing on this thread. Last Tuesday I finally threw away my last 6 videotapes, one of which was my wedding. I've long since converted all that to digital, and the actual movies I did have were stored too close to an unshielded speaker at some point and there were blank spots throughout. Dunno why I kept them this long, I haven't had a VCR since 2003. I do remember when I finally bought a progressive scan DVD player, only to find out that 99% of TVs couldn't actually display it and it'd default to interlaced. I finally learned to research and wait for technology so I get what I pay for. Guys at work make fun of me for owning blu rays, they think streaming is a 100% replacement. But they aren't movie junkies, they just watch whatever their wives find to watch that night. I tried to watch Pretty Woman last month and it was nowhere to be found except a $7 rental. Of course once I had Netflix send it, Amazon dropped the rental price to $1. It's like they are watching. But yeah, there are still millions of movies that are only pay to watch rather than on a free streaming service, and I hate it. So when I really want to be sure I can watch something at any time, I buy it. And Pretty Woman really does not hold up. It's been decades since I've seen it and it was terrible.
