Extinction the Sixth<p>I saw someone gush about being given The Matrix on VHS as a kid in a way that one would never be for having been given something on 4K that they'd seen a hundred times.</p><p>It's the exposure to a brilliant story that's important, not the best quality version of that story that you ultimately see. Nobody's going to be blown away by a movie on 4K vs DVD, even if the transfer is better.</p><p>And there are some films I think it's best to see on VHS, like the original Terminator, or half a dozen other special FX films you may name.</p><p>All that said, streaming is a Hobson's choice I'll never make. I'd rather have a scratchy VHS than watch something on Netflix or Amazon Prime.</p><p><a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/film" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>film</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/streaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>streaming</span></a> <a href="https://hcommons.social/tags/physicalmedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>physicalmedia</span></a></p>
