anybody else here still watch/buy VHS tapes to reconnect with the experience of going to rent a movie and watching VHS tapes as a kid? the advertisements for stuff the ways stuff on VHS usually sounded are something i really miss
I buy random cd's from walmart sometimes so i can smell the freshly opened package

Oh god. You just made me remember the smell of a freshly opened VHS
Sexy
Never, unless its a rare tape. I'm too much of an audio and video expert. CD and DVD are good. 4k discs are great. You don't really gain anything with VHS on a technical level.

there's literally nothing nostalgic about that shitty medium
Ed Poggi does.
I like watching movies on the format that was dominant of the time period the movie was released in. VHS up to the 90's, DVD for 2000's, and Bluray for 2010 onward

Parents record Disney's Robin Hood off of ABC. Still watch that from time to time just to see the old 1992 commercials.

PURE PATRICIAN HERE
if you can't watch Total Recall, for example, by popping a properly maintained original VHS tape into a 4-head VCR and out-put it into a 29+ inch CRT TV via an RCA cable then you can't re-experience 90's kino viewing in it's original glory, you pleb

I have a similar quirk aboutvidya gamesbut I can't bring myself to do this with movies
Watching the same film in a higher resolution with better quality audio is just an objectively better experience, nostalgia be damned
