subject: How Do You Like To Watch Your Movies [print this page] Viewing movies in your house used to be cool, all you needed to do was rewind the tape and fast forward through the commercials and the upcoming attractions to get to the beginning of the film. Then all you had to do was sit through two hours of your beloved grainy movie. It genuinely did set you up for a ideal Friday or Saturday night. But at least you got a chance to watch the movie you wanted to, at least it was better than flipping on the TV and waiting to see what the movie of the week was on the three channels. At least you had the option.
VHS was the greatest there was for many years and rewinding wasnt so bad, I guess, especially if you had one of those rewinding machines that they used to sell. Some of them were cool; they were in the shapes of cars and different things. That was rather cool, in an eighties kinda way.
I feel bad for kids these days that dont have to put up with the same types of aggravation. They'll never understand how irritating it is to wait for a movie to rewind because you have to return it by eight oclock or get charged a late fee. They will never be acquainted with the aggravation of a tape breaking and not being able to ever look at it again or a fifty dollar VHS tape. These are all things that were part of watching a movie in the good old times. Today the platforms have changed at least three times since then.
The majority of people usually do not make use of VHS as their principal way of viewing movies in the home. Of course, most people still have one, but its relegated to the kids videos and old stuff. Its not the main movie watching device. For that duty many people are utilizing DVDs, although some people have by this time made the move to Blu-ray and some individuals have stopped using discs in any way.
Several individuals are utilizing a direct download method to get their media and entertainment. Before long, most individuals will just have movies, music and other media downloaded right on a hard drive or onto some other USB devices. It is extremely convenient and the quality has become better and the downloads have gotten quicker and less aggravating. Several systems will let you watch whatever you're downloading before it's done downloading.
