Ngenkathi ngisakhula, kwakukuningi kakhulu ukuvakashela isitolo sevidiyo somama wethu sendawo ne-pop ngaphandle kokuqasha ama-movie. Lezo zinqolobane ze-cavernous zezimangaliso ze-cinematic zazivame ukugcwala zigcizelele izinzwa. Ngesikhashana nje, umuntu angahle ezwe ukuqhuma kwekota kufakwa kumdlalo we-Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles arcade ekhoneni noma uzwe ipopcorn esanda kuqhamuka ebihlala eduze kwekhawunta yerejista enqoleni endala yeketela i-popcorn.

Kwakukhona nezimpawu. Indawo ngayinye yayiyoba nophawu oluyingqayizivele, olubhalwe ngesandla lwezinhlobo ezahlukahlukene zamafilimu ezikuyo: indawo yamahlaya yayijwayele ukuba nomdwebo walawo mazinyo axokozelayo — uyazi, lawo mazinyo amathoyizi amasha ongavala ngawo futhi ucasule abangane bakho ngawo – nawe cishe ngaso sonke isikhathi ubengathembela esigabeni esethusayo esinegama elithi "HORROR" elibhalwe eceleni kwemidwebo yamathambo, i-Jack-o-lantern, ne-vampires. Igazi eliconsayo ekubhalweni kwakungelinye.

 

Futhi-ke kwakukhona izitika. Izinkomba eziningi.

Ngezitikha, angikhulumi ngohlobo ongahle uhwebe ngalo nabangane bakho bezingane ekamu lasehlobo. Cha, ngikhuluma ngezitikha zesitolo sama-movie — uhlobo olugcwele izitolo zamavidiyo kanye namateyipu amaningi abaziqashile bazithengisela amakhasimende alambile emidiya, njengombhali wale ndatshana. Izitikha zesitolo sevidiyo, njengalezo ezikuxwayisa ukuthi ubuyisele emuva iteyipu yakho (noma kungenjalo!) Kanye nalabo abagqamisa itheyiphu ethile engabethusa kakhulu abantu abangaphansi kweminyaka engu-18, babeyingxenye ebalulekile yohlelo lokuqashwa kwamavidiyo.

Izitika ezisetshenziswe kubuciko bebhokisi le-VHS (noma itheyiphu uqobo) nayo bekuyindlela yokuthi leso sikhungo simake uhlu lwaso. Lezi zitikha zazibalulekile ekuxhumaneni nazo zonke izinhlobo zolwazi kumqashi noma kumthengisi futhi zasebenza njengenye indlela emibalabala yokunqanda amaqoqo ama-movie. I-peanut butter is jelly ukuthi yiziphi izitika kumateyipu e-VHS.

Okungiletha ku Stuck On VHS: Umlando Obukwayo Wezitikha Zesitolo Sevidiyo, incwadi entsha ekhazimulayo kaJosh Schafer, umdlandla weVHS, umqokeleli, nommeli, nomqambi, uJacky Lawrence Ngomkhiqizo kaJosh's LunchmeatVHS, ubeyinto ebalulekile emphakathini omkhulu we-VHS iminyaka, ngakho-ke, akumangalisi ukuthi uthumele ukuthanda kwakhe encwadini okungeyona eyomlando we-VHS njengoba kuyitshe lokuthinta elingumlando elibhala i-VHS ephemera.

Lezi zinamathelisi ze-VHS yizindawo ezincane zesikhathi esidlule. Kepha le ncwadi ayiyona nje i-quirk ngenxa yama-quirks. Kunalokho, Wanamathela ku-VHS ibalulekile, isikhathi sokubukwa esifuna ukukhumbuza (noma ukufundisa abafundi besikhathi sokuqala) ukuthi i-ephemera evela eminyakeni yegolide ye-VHS ibalulekile futhi ingasitshela okuningi ngaleyo miphakathi. Lezi zinamathelisi — ngasinye sazo — kunendaba ekufanele isitshele. Ngenxa kaSchafer futhi Wanamathela ku-VHS, manje sekuxoxwa lezo zindaba.

 

Ngithole uJosh Schafer muva nje ukuthola okwengeziwe ngokutholakala kwale phrojekthi. Nakhu abekufanele akusho: “Lezi zinamathelisi bekuyinto ebesingayiboni ithola ukunakwa, kepha empeleni imane nje ithwebula umlando omningi, ubuhle, namasiko kusukela esikhathini sevidiyo. Besifuna ukudala idokhumende nokukhethwa kwezinto okubuyisele emuva ekubeni phakathi kwalezi zindawo zezitolo zamavidiyo; lezi zinamathelisi, noma zincane noma zingesikhashana, zisiza ngempela ukufanekisa nokuchaza leso sikhathi futhi sandise ububanzi nokubukwa kwangemuva kwaleso sikhathi.

Banokuphila konke okwabo, futhi besifuna ukugcina leyo nto eyisiko lesitolo samavidiyo ukuze abantu bayivakashele futhi bayijabulele - futhi ngethemba lokuthi, sizobakhuthaza ukuthi babhekisise lezo zincamathelisi ezihlala kuzo zonke lezo zindawo eziqashiwe. ”

 

Uma ngikhuluma iqiniso, ngithanda zonke izincamathelisi ezikulencwadi, noma nginezintandokazi zami: amalebuli abhalwe ngesandla afana nalawa athi, "Mac + Me # 2" okungenzeka ukuthi abhekisele kukhophi yabo yesibili yefilimu esesitokweni nalezo eziyizimpawu izitikha ezi-green horror esizikhumbulayo sonke (ngentandokazi engiyithandayo isitikha esiluhlaza esivela kwikhophi ye-CREEPSHOW eyayidlala i-chubby vampire egqoke izibuko).

Bese kuthi-ke, kube khona izitikha zesitolo sevidiyo ngazinye, ezinamagama amnandi ngempela afana neGanges Video Ranch, Savage Video, Pick-A-Flick Video, ne-DJ's Video & Snacks. Akukho ukushoda kwama-ephemera evidiyo athakazelisayo futhi angavamile ukumangala ekhasini ngalinye lale ncwadi. Ngethembe.
