That is awesome , I wish I would have had something like that as a kid . would have been over the moon with joy and had hours and days of fun
^ IIRC he was like that about a great many films (and the sci-fi & fantasy genre in general did have issues with it being looked down upon by quite an upper-class / snobbish BBC at times back then).

^ guess they forgot about their own Doctor Who 😃
^ I enjoyed this and it was a real treat seeing behind the scenes stuff and interviews that I have never seen before . It was great up until about 16 minutes and 45 seconds , and then the host comes off as a snobbish , pompous ass . I mean , wow , he invites Gary Kurtz and Mark Hamill on his show and then proceeds to slam the movie for what he thinks is a weak story , and then provides examples of what he thinks are films with "superior " storytelling . Seems like a dickish move to me . thank you for sharing though , the first 16 minutes and 45 seconds were great .
^ yeah , that is why I said that I would like to see a more concise example . OLED is pretty awesome , a friend of mine has one , that is not what I am interested in though , but thank you for the info .
this is kind of what I am looking for by way of comparison of crt vs lcd display , although , I would like to see a more concise example , this is the closest I have found so far and the black levels and overall picture on the crt in this video look superior to me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5a5kZLvd1w
Nice
^ Really ? you signed up just to make that comment ? Troll , sock or bot ?
maybe that is another reason I like vhs on a crt …vhs was made with crt displays in mind as those were pretty much all that was available at the time
^ me too , though I admit nostalgia plays a factor for me . That and I found an old 13 inch tv/vcr combo at a Goodwill for five bucks about seven years ago and started collecting vhs tapes because of it .Then my neighbor moved out and gave me about 100 or so tapes , some still in the shrink wrap . I also like to collect the hard plastic clamshell vhs movies from the early 80’s ( I have the first two Rambo movies like this ) as well as box sets . I have come to like the softer look of them .
^ thanks for the response ,I suspected as much , I have seen a lot of videos where gamers swear by crt displays as superior due to the rich deep blacks and other things you mention . I wish they would have put the Star Wars films on D-theatre VHS which was a short lived format that had HD VHS tapes …https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiu0LPeLQPE I would track one down if they did .
it’s like the behavior of a dog , pissing on every fire hydrant it comes across in order to mark it’s territory
I have always wondered how the display you watch movies on effects the quality of what you are viewing . Say you have a very cheap , low quality lcd tv and a cheap ,low quality blu ray player , and then you have a very high end Crt Tv and a high end vcr …which is the better viewing experience ? I would like to see a side by side comparison of this some time .I have a Samsung Slimfit 38 inch widescreen HD crt tv from the mid 2000’s that has hdmi outputs as well as a 60 inch LG smart tv and to me , the crt looks better .I would like to take pics to compare but I do not have a camera that is up to the task . I have also thought about ( just for fun ) taking my old Sanyo 4x3 16 inch crt from 1997 and hooking an av to hdmi converter to it to see how it looks .anyway , I would be interested to hear peoples meaningful thoughts on this
I have HDADD…I don’t always pay attention , but when I do , It’s incredibly clear .
^ I meant they were not in HD in there original theatrical run , not the kind of HD we have today . The picture was clear and sharp , but they also had scratches and film grain
I would like to see the finished 35mm preservations some time
I prefer the 92 vhs box set over the 95 faces vhs set , I am not a fan of the blue tie fighter lasers in the asteroid chase
my 92 widescreen vhs box set trilogy also looks awesome on my Samsung slimfit widescreen 38 inch crt tv , via my panasonic hi-fi 4 head vcr , no zoom feature needed
^and I am not trying to be snarky or ironic here , this is my preferred way to watch the movies
While this does solve the anamorphic problem it doesn’t solve the motion blur but at least it looks nice when played in a Blu Ray player.
True but that was never a major issue for me just like i don’t mind the scratches and dirt on the Grindhouse versions though they do annoy most of my friends for some reason.
^I am in agreement here …the movies I saw in 77,80,and 83 had some scratches and grain on them and were not in HD in the theatre
you play your vhs through a blu ray player ? you are a very special individual
my 92 widescreen vhs box set trilogy also looks awesome on my Samsung slimfit widescreen 38 inch crt tv , via my panasonic hi-fi 4 head vcr , no zoom feature needed
“I knew at the beginning that I was not doing science fiction. I was doing a space opera, a fantasy film, a mythological piece, a fairy tale. I really thought I needed to establish from the start that this was a completely made up world so that I could do anything I wanted.”

^ I live in Chicago , are you saying Chicago fans are toxic and Florida fans are not ? not sure what point you are trying to make here …
kind of difficult since Disney owns Lucasfilm .
^ but at least the prequels are watchable , right ?
