VHS as a medium

[HoboJoe]

Almost everything uses tons of post nowadays. Most of your TV shows are almost filmed completely on green screens or with partial green screens. It can be cheaper, and can be changed to anything which is why it's a huge fad as opposed to filming on location.

I have a very, very, very hard time with CGI, since I'm more of a stop-motion kind-of-guy (for example; The Gate, Critters, Gremlins, Sindbad, etc.)

Agreed. I absolutely hate what CGI has done to movies. Case in point: The old Star Wars and the newer Star Wars. Back in the day it was all card board, paper mache, and christmas lights. That's what it took to create the future.

Now they can film the movie and spend months in post production creating a reality, they can control every pixel of the film...and it looks more fake to me than the card board.

Interesting, one technology exposing flaws of another. HD showing flaws of detail in CGI vs "Real" miniatures of Stop Motion.

The VHS set Amish Samurai was talking about is this one:

This VHS set was released in 1995 after Lucas digitally remastered the video and sound but before all the the extra CG effects and added scenes on the 1997 theatrical re-release. This set is considered by some (myself included) to be the best version of the trilogy. This set is distinguished by its minimalist cover art; don't confuse it with the later VHS tapes with gold borders.

Yes, this is the version I grew up on. Guess I was a bit spoiled, but if I'm to be a snob on anything, it may as well be versions of Star Wars.

That's the one I have right now, I believe. I'm too cheap to buy the first three movies on DVD, but I guess it's paid off, then, if I ended up with the best versions. I hate the added scenes.

That movie is amazing, anyone who has seen it can tell you it is a big throwback to old school horror movies, so much so that the end credits feel super eighties, I feel like that is the explanation for this bundle release, If anyone knows differently let me know, but I think it was simply because the movie is just that old school, one of the recent season of Lost to come out had a special edition that also came with a vhs, as some kind of Dharma video

[Octopod]

Yeah, I figured it was just like a collectors edition or something along those lines.

My dad gave me 1984, Ran, and Aeon Flux on VHS a few weeks ago. 1984 is
