how awesome is this ...


I actually shared this in the movie thread before, I love it. Really cool how he makes VHS copies of movies released in the DVD era!

Edit: I saw on his Instagram the other day that he custom made the Nolan Batman trilogy into a VHS set which is cool (leaving aside that Begins was on VHS already).
 
About 5 years ago I got rid of over a hundred and fifty ex-rental videos because no one wanted them. I asked Op Shops, second hand shops, I even asked the local film buff who runs movie nights in a home based cinema running all the old U-matic gear we sold him and I could not find a single person who wanted them. I kept some of them, mostly old music ones but even thinking about connecting any of the old recording gear up is too much effort these days.
 
Technically I couldn't have sold them given the agreement we got them under, although Blockbuster probably wouldn't be interested in chasing me now days, but I just wanted to get rid of them. I've still got a couple of VHS recorders and an editing desk in storage but it's just too much effort to do anything with. One day I'll off load the entire kit to a film buff of some sort.
