Why I Love VHS

As a fan of the sci-fi aesthetic of the 80's I have been following the production of Kung Fury, a crowd funded 30 minute 80's style sci-fi-cop-martial arts-fantasy film. however, despite the movie being released on youtube yesterday (here)...I haven't seen it yet. This is because I want to copy it to a VHS tape first. However for all of you who aren't as in love with the VHS format as I am...whats wrong with you. Here are 5 reasons VHS is better then DVD.

A Sordid Affair

I have not been faithful recently. For about 6 or 7 years I have pledged myself to one, and this past week I betrayed that pledge. This was not just once, but 3 times I have rejected the one to whom I've pledged my devotion. Before I expound upon my sins I must first apologies to the one I have wronged: I am so sorry Godzilla for I have seen and enjoyed 3 Gamera movies.

Zero Must Equal One Hundred Percent

Ever since I first saw Brazil (1985) two or three years ago I have been a HUGE Terry Gilliam fan. It didn't take me long at all to watch Time Bandits (1981), 12 Monkies (1995), and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998). So back in 2013 when I heard of The Zero Theorem I was naturally very excited. A brand new Terry Gilliam movie that critics were comparing to my favorite Gilliam movie Brazil? Sign me up! Of course being the small, low budget movie that it was I couldn't see it until I bought it digitally through VHX. After finishing the movie I was quite taken aback by just how the movie did not meet expectations.
