Is there anything like DVDSpot for your VHS movies? I have a lot of VHS films and I'd like to be able to show them off like my DVD's on DVDSpot.com.

I don't know, but you just earned a special Geek Cool medal in my book. VHS effing ROCKSSSSZZZ duuuuude, I just got six or seven tapes in this week, and they are awesome.

i googled it about a week ago.... but came up stumped... there should be cause i know we all have old vhs
First thing you gotta do is, get yourself a Delorean.....then go to Home Depot and pick up a flux capacitor.....most likely in the electronics aisle.

I bought the geekiest thing on Earth at a thrift store a couple weeks ago. Some douche via a dubbing kit copied his Criterion laserdisc of Robocop onto a VHS and sold it to the thrift store I shop at. Whoever did that is the lamest person on Earth.

I don't understand. I was merely suggesting a method for Vamp to travel back in time when VHS was popular. The Delorean being the vessel and the flux capacitor the means.
In conjunction with a magnetic field and the load, the flux capacitor uses the hierarchical structure of the cosmos as a timer! The trilamination of the tiny spheres with selected metals and their subjection to a magnetic field and current (sustained by the load) destabilizes the orderliness of the proton, the heavier atom and the "tissue" of individual layers of metal. The matter then seeks to re-establish itself in the "fractal set."
The trilamination inserts a "curve" where there ought to be none, between the atomic structure and the next higher context of presence which is normally occupied by living things, beneath the solar niche and within the biospheric niche in a five to eleven dimensional collapsible schema of the universe accounting for all the phenomenon observed by scientists and others.
The nature of the timing is that which accounts for "pulsing", a "throbbing", in some other applications usually associated with creation of light produced in objects which allow angular also linear accelerations, stifled in the beebees. It is not known if there is a pulse associated with this particular flux capacitor.
The beebees occupy the next niche up from the atomic to accommodate the stresses in the atoms which is the twisting, softening or liquifaction of the nuclei of the heavy elements in the trilaminar balls, also the counterrotating trilaminar wheels of an application producing motion. As long as the device is "on", it occupies hyperspace and is an array of functions or an "object", a "thing", in itself.
That liquefaction (phase shift) of the nuclei disqualifies the atoms from their niche in the curvature of space: the Primary universe, this secondary universe containing the familiar galaxies, suns, and lesser bodies, (each a number of subsidiary radians within this secondary universe, itself a second radian out of vacuum; the biosphere, which is a third universe where we see the various phases of matter sharing their respective surfaces as well as changing places (solid, liquie, chemical, gaseous phases, and the "pinioning" atomic scale on the micro side of the human scale, where all flux capacitors are found, in the fourth level of universes, the fourth (pi-eth, we call it) space. The "Fourth Fractal"

I STILL say that VHS is better than DVD for various reasons (mostly durability and the fact that you can copy over them...heh)
*OUCH*...Okay, who threw that?!
haha
I LOVE my VHS

I suspect Vamp is too tall for a Delorean.

Actually, I'm not that tall. I'm only 5'10". :D
@Newb
Thanks for the idea! And where the heck did you learn all of that stuff??? :eek:
@Rayne
I did like the fact that you can copy over...Though that's also how some of my favorite movies got messed up. :mad:
Maybe I'll make a seperate DVDSpot and use it for my VHS collection.

Ah. Well... I attended Juilliard... I'm a graduate of the Harvard business school. I travel quite extensively. I lived through the Black Plague and had a pretty good time during that. I've seen the EXORCIST ABOUT A HUNDRED AND SIXTY-SEVEN TIMES, AND IT KEEPS GETTING FUNNIER EVERY SINGLE TIME I SEE IT... NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT YOU'RE TALKING TO A DEAD GUY... NOW WHAT DO YOU THINK? You think I'm qualified?
or a little thing I like to call GOOGLE and copy & paste:D

I have a big Rubbermaid storage container full of hundreds VHS tapes in my basement.
I have re-purchased a lot of them on DVD. :mad:
I wish I could snap my fingers and change all of them to DVD.

I take pride in some of my VHS collection. Particularly rare stuff. I got a VHS copy of Nekromantik for five dollars off EBay. I was astonished to find a VHS of At Midnight I Will Take Your Soul there, too. There's something kind of cool about finding cheap VHS copies of things.

HAHA...That reminds me...Are you excited or disappointed about Beetlejuice 2?

So, if it gets copied over, you just have to buy another movie...It's not NEARLY as bad as having to buy a new movie every time you get a freakin' SCRATCH!...

You need to calm down there! Calm down woman!
Buying some VHS horror movies will calm you down.
Cheap VHS tapes are freaking awesome! Here's a good one I got--actually bought two copies of it. It's from 1988 and it's CREEPY CLASSICS, about 40 minutes of clips from old low-budget horror flicks. HOSTED BY VINCENT PRICE and sold exclusively at Hallmark stores back in the day. Do a search on Amazon and Half.com and you will find some nice, cheap, decent copies. It is a gem and good to see good old Vincent Price again, he was one of the greats, and God bless him.
HAHA...That reminds me...Are you excited or disappointed about Beetlejuice 2?
Haven't heard anything on this one.

Most of you cats know how much I dig VHS....
My room is cluttered with the superior format for horror flicks.
Horror just seems more at home on VHS (especially the 80s stuff).
I wonder how long it'll be before they make a comeback like vinyl?
