Man, what a blast from the past, and this video is only 11 years old. DVDs, CDs, Fullscreen/Widescreen. It's amazing how much things have changed in just over a decade.
On more than one occasion, I've had to sit through a preview of the EXACT SAME MOVIE THAT'S ON THE DVD! For crying out loud, are those publishers even paying attention to what previews go on which discs??
I discovered them recently too. The Paleoworld tapes from Time Life video has them but the sound is very low and you have to make sure that the tape is fully rewound back to hear it.
Haha. The widescreen/full screen issue was responsible for one of my most anger inducing DVD purchases. Years ago I bought Scarface from Walmart, it had this nice special edition type packaging and, when I gave it quick look over, thought it was widescreen.WRONG! Found out after I had opened and tried to play it that it was fullscreen. Found tiniest lettering on spine of box claiming fullscreen. WAS...NOT...IMPRESSED.
The funny/weird thing is, the FS release of Terminator 3 actually has more real estate than the WS version. The 4:3 version is usually cropped (pan and scan) from the WS film, but that film is the only one I have that works that way.

Disney did not feel very proud of their Star Wars acquisition since they didn't even put their logo with some fanfare in the damn movies. 20th Century Fox had the best intro logo back in the day.
I prefer box sets because I'd rather have all the dvds or a TV series, all the episodes. It's better and cheaper than just buying all the dvds separate
I remember being a little kid, and I would be afraid of going asleep if someone was watching something on the VCR. Because the moment that movie would end, BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR (or static, maybe the screams of demons from hell) I would jump up, all wet from pee.

This is something I love about Dragon Ball Z. You couldn't ask for a more perfect line of DVD box sets than the DBZ Orange Bricks.
***** I'll agree with you on the aspect ratio, but aside from that I don't understand the bad reputation the Orange Bricks get.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahajajajajajhahahaahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahhahahhahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahjahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahhahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahhahahahhahahahhahahahhahahhahahahhahahhahahahhahahahahahahahahahhahahahhahahhahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahhahahhahahhahaahhahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahhahahahhahahhahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahhahahhahahahahhahahahahhahahahahaha. Funny joke (tell me you're joking).
Dean Humble no nep to.
I like them because you can press the top menu button to get right to the menu.
hope that's sarcasm
The only positive about DVDs is that they're portable. There are DVD players for cars 🚗
you know what's bullshit?
power rangers not having the official and original theme in the latest movie
Ippiki Õkami they used kayne lolol
Ippiki Õkami they used it.
WRONG!!!! THEY HAD IT....IN ASIA!!!
Who cares never like them.
That pissed me off!
I prefer box sets because I'd rather have all the dvds or a TV series, all the episodes. It's better and cheaper than just buying all the dvds separate
But, as he says, sometimes the movies aren't all owned by the same company.
@@applescruff1969 So you need to do you're research before hand.
@@jturner2577 Even if you do, it's still a pain in the ass. Sometimes, you have to buy 2 or 3 box sets just to get all the movies.
I remember being a little kid, and I would be afraid of going asleep if someone was watching something on the VCR. Because the moment that movie would end, BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR (or static, maybe the screams of demons from hell)
I would jump up, all wet from pee.
Well it could've worse you woken up to the Test Pattern on the screen.
And 132 months later, he praises everything about the DVD that he called BS here.
"Don't you talk about boxes. I LIKE BOXES!!!"
Guess that line has no truth to it now. How sad.
But I do agree with the security sticker & snap thing on the R1 DVDs. Those can f*** off.
“Forward in technology but only making our lives bullshittier”
Truer words were never spoken. And 11 yrs ago to boot!!
"Don't you talk about my boxsets! I LIKE BOX SETS!!!"
5:30 - I nearly forgot about that sound. Some of my VHS tapes used to do it.
3:02
Wow that setup hits hard
5:31 Paula uses PSI Freeze!
Another thing I like about VHS more than dvd, you can physically see how far a movie in because of the windows a VHS has compared to a DVD
Me too.
I own that James Bond set and did exactly what he did in the video. Threw the small boxes in the trash and rearranged the movies in the right way.
Being someone who works with DVDs on a regular basis (I'm an AV librarian, AKA lord of the movies) I can relate SO much to EVERYTHING. Especially those damn box sets. They are the bane of my existence.
0:45 *Nintendo fan buys a Super Nintendo game in 1994* :
"Here's what I do, throw the boxes in the garbage"
4:07 "That'll teach ya" That killed me 😂
Hey fellas, YOU KNOW WHAT BUUULS**T???!! Your left headphone speaker cutting off completely on you while the right speaker works fine! That happens to me so many times before that I have no choice but get a new pair of headphones. What's the joy of listening to your favourite songs when one of the speakers dies out on you all of a sudden? That is BUUULS**T, if you ask me!
+Gerard McGrory And it feels really uncomfortable when just one speaker is playing!
billywws Sure, like how can you enjoy your favourite tunes when one of the speakers isn't working? You want the stereo (two speakers) out of it, not the mono (one speaker)!
Edwin Wise Uhhh, what does that have to do with what I'm talking about in my comment?
I hate that too...
+Gerard McGrory or you could learn how to solder and fix it yourself.
watching that DVD skip scene pissed me off
