I hope you guys have held onto your VHS copies of TCM. Its definatley a film that looks better on high quality VHS than it does on DVD.
DVDs contain a lot of shit in extras that kill the intended reaction to the film. TCM, Maniac, Mother's Day and The Prowler are films that the old as fuck versions are the one to have. My reason is that those films spoke for themselves in a unique way and were rawer than anything at the time. The cleaned up tones of DVD versions wash out alot of the visual soul of these films and all the extras try to explain the unexplainable.
DVDs almost become a status symbol. Action films make three times the revenue because of macho packaging and extras. "My tuff guy movie has three disks while yours has only two" drives hyponotised "movie lovers" unto mental debt trying to compete to have the REAL fan's editon.
VHS just reminds me of simpler times when movies were still magic. The art world in all facits has become stagnent because of of over analising.
....something I need to say better but i'm drunk as fuck thinking spewin out thoughts that read by me in the morning will be dyslexic smotherings of a good idea.
