It's amazing, right??? I found it online a million years ago. Not even sure where it came from at this point!

I'm sorry he isn't coming there, either....mostly for the pithy signs. But really, you have dodged a bullet made of stupid, for now.

Many people do not know this(snicker)....punk rock was invented in the US. And the young Brits accepted it, started forming their own great punk bands, and giving us back their versions of it. It's like in the 50's...young British people were listening to the Blues, Country, and early Rock from the US. Then they made their own great versions of blues and rock bands and formed skiffle bands, which turned into the 60's British Invasion. Sorry, it's late and I'm bored, it's cold and it's snowing.

Yeah, they just kept making fewer and fewer movies for the format. Another Wonker told me the other night that at the time, he was repairing VHS and Beta machines, and that the Beta machines were a nightmare to work on. So that's probably why the format went away.

Someone should have put it's head on a pike and put it on the London Bridge.

it seems to me they had to pay sony a royalty to put movies on beta. bet that didn't help. plus they were a lot more expensive than vhs machines. i got mine used, and it still was a couple hundred bucks.
