Funny...

Just as VCR's are really at the end of their life - the device that movie and TV executives swore would put them out of business - piracy, new distribution methods, consumer preferences, bad productions, etc. are what is actually putting them at threat. Yet look how much the industry flourished during the VCRs reign, and how much it is getting hammered after its demise.

I'm pretty sure Hollywood's doing fairly well at the moment, and certainly DVD helped it in the process. VHS has been dead as a movie distribution format for some years now.

They are finding they're screwing up with HD, that's largely because they don't know what they're doing.
