Yeah, there's movie theater for one. 
And we have this thing called LaserDisc.  |

| Pifft, you youngsters with your "Super 8". Back in my day, all we had were shadow puppet theatres |

burned into white canvas in order to repeat watching? Actually screen burn was a very real problem for shadow puppet theatre... you'd burn the screen and then your entire house would burn down too  |

| Ediphone here. I'm a purist and you can't get the fidelity on vinyl. There's simply too much variance in the production process and the material is unstable.

| @thenzero -- pic of your VHS collection reminds me of the hilarious video store scene in "Clerks," when the owner is ordering all this porn over the phone, rattling off these gratuitous titles of debauchment, and the camera slowly pulls back to show a mother and her four-year-old son listening in horror, and the guy on the phone looks at them and says, "Oh, yeah, and a copy of The Lion King."

| @Jake lol I do have a weird mix of stuff. The cubby in the upper left corner is the extra stuff that came in bulk boxes of VHS tapes that I bought that I don't really want but don't want to just throw away. LOL
Edit: also that's a great movie
Edit2: The copy of the MATRIX there was bought out of the back of some shady dude's trunk in 1999 and is a very obvious bootleg/screener with a really poorly self-printed box. It's kind of awesome.
