Oh come on vhs? I can kind of see the appeal of Vinyl. There is a certain pleasure to be had listening to music that way.

But for movies? Vhs really? I hope this doesn't start a trend.

Yeah don't stand for it mate. Betamax was the better format. Demand better

Think it will be a Vice Press exclusive but HMV also sell their other VHS editions and prints so it might go there too. Or it could just be all retailers

It's already a trend.

Exactly, and even I having no nostalgia for the format itself, bought a few sealed VHS of favorite movies on Whatnot from the 90's and early 2000s, that I initially got on DVD right away. For 'display purposes'. A front of one of the shelves, will kinda remind me of the New Arrivals or Staff Picks shelf in a rental store.

I'm planning on getting a few PSP UMDs as well.
But best such older format remains Laserdisc, because of large art for display. I'm just afraid of starting that whole thing too...

hell yes! hope Fede can do a 100% true to himself sequel as it did seem like it was maybe watered down for gore and violence

I thought it was great until that one girl gave birth. The last 10 minutes completely ruin it.
