Anyway, if you want to be more on topic care explain how VHS is a better video format than DVD/Blu-Ray?

Also, in case it wasn't picked up before I feel no video "should" be watched on VHS for any kind of authentic experience. I've gone back and watched several of my old VHS movies and aside from those few minutes of nostalgia from wanting to watch it once the movie started playing, (after 2 minutes fast forwarding through all the out-dated trailers and federal warnings about copywrite, mind you) I said to myself "wow, this looks really bad". And it did. It looked so aweful to the point where I remembered everything that happened in the movie and didn't even bother finishing it.

So sorry, no other movies (if any at all) should be watched on VHS.
If you have notice that, then I feel good about that. Just because we are essentially anonymous doesn't mean we should act like wild baboons. If people act in a way that I think goes beyond the JF rules, I say something. I am not saying, in this case, what you did was against the rules. But it was a little like having someone post "Who is your favorite Smurf?" and you responded with "Transformers would destroy Smurfs." Yes, that may be true, but that wasn't the question.

I don't care to explain how VHS is a better video format than DVD/Blu-Ray because that 1) isn't my belief and 2) isn't the question.

Tyrien, you are probably too young to have a nostalgia for VHS, vinyl records and dial tvs. That's OK. Let the old codgers have their fun.
