RIP VHS (1976-2000)

My thoughts: Well then here's to hoping that The Phantom Tollbooth will get a DVD release one day. That's the only movie I own that's not on DVD. The last movie I owned on VHS that I replaced with its DVD counterpart was The Wizard.

I still hope blank VHS tapes will still be manufactured though. I'm still a ways from getting a DVD recorder. Not only that, but either Blu-Ray or HD-DVD could still overpower DVDs completely in a few years.

I'll admit. Even though I'll take DVD over VHS, I still like that old school feel when I pop in a VHS tape into my VCR. I own some retaill VHS tapes and I doubt they'll ever make it to DVD. I'm actually okay with that.

fook that ship, anything that needs to be rewound is lame

Re: RIP VHS (1976-2000)
 

You're right.
People in the early 90's were totally "Man, VHS sucks. I hate these things. The person who made them is a ****ing idiot for using tape. I mean, sure I can watch my movies, but the 30 seconds to rewind is a ton of time I can be spent walking to the fridge to grab some food."

You hit the nail on the head.
VHS = worst invention ever.

Kenneth Branagh's Hamlet is STILL yet to have arrived on DVD, which is mindboggling. Of all movies not to be on DVD yet, I would never guess this to be one.

I've been wanting it for so long, and there's a huge movement of fans out there on the internet who are all praying for a DVD release.

Apparently, it has finally come... sometime in 2007.

It was all we had though, basically.

I have this rare VHS tape that looked like it was going to get stuck in the VCR when I kept trying to eject it. Thankfully, it's still in one piece to this day.

My post was entirely sarcastic.
I love VHS.
I have fond memories of watching a taped-off-TV version of The Brave Little Toaster tons and tons of time when I was little.

Until I can handily record things with a DVD, without needing a special type of DVD player or DVD, then I stand bitter towards technology.

The Brave Little Toaster is quite possibly one of the greatest kids movies ever. Actually, its probably THE greatest.

that movie made me never run over a vacuum cleaner's cord with a vacuum.

EVER.

That movie made me afraid of lamps.

Well if it really was, it wasn't all that easy to tell.
