I recall kids using Atari or Ataris for video games in general. I’m sure Nintendo superseded that at some point.
And game cartridges were called “tapes”, haha.
My pet peeve is how people use film to describe shooting something with a digital device.
It may be unsurprising to learn I also find this grating.
I blame that on a teacher back in college who fumed if you said you were filming when you were actually shooting on videotape. He was secure in his belief video could never replace film and mocked early attempts at shooting movies in High Definition video.
I don’t blame him, looking back on those early digital movies is not a pleasant experience. And I wouldn’t be on this forum if I didn’t have some love for film.
I know I’m dating myself, but I refer to 80’s projects shot with analog HD. I can’t recall which movies my teacher actually talked about anymore. And those projects might also have shot on film as a backup. The only one from the 80’s I’ve been able to find is Julia and Julia from 1987, but the video master was not made from a film print, so no way to tell how it would have looked theatrically.
