Old fart.Those were the days
32 now.

Perhaps it is not the best time to say that kind of thing...It's going to be sick.
Those few movies are all that was available on laserdisk, you just got Stockholm'd by the technology into believing that they are the only ones worth watching.
The more you watched your favourite videos, the more the picture and sound quality degraded, eventually making them unwatchable.
Unless you actually broke the tape or it degraded through other means, this is literally not true. They are still watchable. I still have the same copy of Yellow Submarine that I watched literally hundreds of times as a young smear, it is noisy but still watchable. Tape doesn't degrade (from playing) as much as you think. You a what we call boiled gash.
A boiled tale of gash.
