From the article: “We are currently in a rare moment where we have three types of audiences all co-mingling at one time: those who remember the birth of VHS and what cinema was like before it, those who grew up with VHS and remember its demise, and those who never experienced VHS as anything but a cultural artifact.”

I like the pace of technological advancements, from your grainy (over used) VHS vintage porn, to bullet time 1080p cumshots in 3D..
Honestly though, i miss VHS and those times browsing in a video shop on cold a winters evening ;p

Its not technological advancement, its sales tactics to keep prices high and avoid competition from used movie sales by continually making a new medium dominant as an artificial market to trick everyone into with media brainwashing manipulation and planned obsolescence. Each 'advancement' is shittier not better, like blueray is the new one I think. All the new stuff is full of proprietary user subjugating spy technology and backdoors. Or something like that, who cares.

We are deep into the information age, a ubiquitous world of smart dust computers that monitor everything around us, a world of sensors that track everything we do, and you can't escape it wmw.
Planned obsolescence is necessary to keep the economy moving, without it we would have major problems because no one would buy anything and so the banks would dry up. It's a shame that we have this system, but that can't be changed and unfortunately it needs to be maintained that way.

Yeah those meanos fooling with so called dirt for us to buy soap.
Also the holocaust never existed and AIDS is fake. HD hasn't won me over though to be honest. Watching something not made for HD in HD is horrible. In cinema it's going to get worse too. I miss that eighties american film vibe. Have yet to watch something in 3D.
