It was a timeline on hard mode and you will never know about it bc you're a damn zoomer
>1989
>Tv ads with Ghostbusters trailer
>Finally Ghostbusters for the first time on tv
>A week before the D-Day, buy an empty high quality (to ensure near infinite re-watches) vhs for the occasion
>Finally the day has come
>Set vhs recorder
>The movie start
>Every 10 minutes of movie there's a 10 minutes tv commercial break in
>You carefully stops recording when tv ads start to obtain a vhs with movie only
>Huge success
>Rewatch the kino the day after without all the tv ads in
The fucking effort in doing this. What do you do to watch a kino instead? Download a fucking torrent in 5 mins?

Because it was a novelty to be able to watch films at your own home whenever you wanted.

In 40 years people are going to look at what we have for entertainment right now and wonder how we could stand it. That's just how it is. Like when the Nintendo 64/Playstation came out and people were shitting themselves over 3D graphics but now people go back and mock it for being blocky and janky. That's just how it goes.

Cringe and tryhard. You could just rewind the recording to when the commercial started and begin recording again.

It was definitely socially healthier despite being less convenient. Now it's boring.

Interesting fact: "a history of violence" was the last Hollywood movie to be released on VHS in the year 2006, well after dvd technology was considered widely available.

No, this is very pleb tier, user. You want your VHS to be perfect, with the movie only in it. It was quite an effort to try to perfectly recording a movie cutting all the ads from it, especially for "first time on tv" movies. But what do you know? Download the torrent, zoomer.
