My VHS Love Story, Before You Read Another One
Many video/music formats have come and gone, laserdiscs, minidiscs, floppy discs. And while you may not be able to buy a new VHS or cassette tape of the newest film or hottest song, I don’t think we have seen the last out of these plastic wonders. You see, for as long as they sell 1978 Oldsmobiles and compact tv/VHS combos, there will be cassette and VHS aficionados.
For me there is no better way to watch an 80’s movie, like say “Cocktail” or “Die Hard”, than on a weathered VHS. The colors, sound, and visual fuzz remain true to the era. Who can forget the joy of pause, rewind, fast forward, and the instant gratification that comes from using the tracking function. And while we may be in a time period when new movies are transmitted digitally to theaters around the country, a time when we neglect to purchase DVD’s in lieu of their internet counterpart, we can always take a trip to the used record store or local Goodwill and snag as many fifty cent VHS tapes as we can, tattered cardboard cases and all. So feel free to embrace the best and brightest in movie technology, but know that there are others like me out there, including Adam Lee Davies and his celebration of the VHS in Time Out New York.
