Description It's thirty minutes past my curfew, I'm tired as heck, and I'm submitting this. Darn me and my addiction to the power of submissions (how oh so ironic).

Anyways, these are what I think are personified versions of VHS Cassettes, living in the underground Vaults ever since the aristocratic DVD Discs and their superiors the HD Systems took over the world of Tell-a-vision.
The VHS Cassettes plan on going up against the DVD's to reclaim their once-was title in television and film.

Would you look at that. I made up a plot right on the dial and I had no idea what the hell this was at first.
And now I won't be able to sleep tonight.
Thanks a lot, submission drug.

This possible-story might-be thing (c) Andi

Cool! 8D

Well, I still have a few bookshelves full of VHS (mostly Disney XD), so...
Maybe they'll decide to take the fight next-door~

it sounds like a tragedy.. because the VHS tapes won't win.. as all the classics are being re-vamped into Blu-Rays and DVD's and the world moves into its 3-Dimensional age... only those rare compassionate souls we call "collectors" purchase the poor VHS's for thousands...

AMEN.
Next to the tv in my room, there's a crapload of VHS'. They live there.
I love them. I still watch them.

Stab me for this if you want, but there was this one bit on The Simpsons where Mexican film strips were having a party until DVD cops ("LOS DVDS!") came and started shooting.
Just felt like that seemed to fit.

VHS SHALL RULE ONCE MORE!

HELL YES.
My cousin has this HUGE wall of vhs-goodness but their vhs player keeps eating their tapes.
They have a blu-ray player too.
Their living room is like a tv graveyard. There's so many lost and rotting in there.
TV GRAVEYARD! IM SO USING THAT! (I get inspired by things I say...)

You take the TV Graveyard, I'm still doing this little Cassettes vs Discs thing (never mind yellow-skinned morons made it up first, but the hell with em, they never had em with spotlight eyes and weird-assness).

I would love to see an all-out war between cassettes and discs.
I would be a weirdo who runs around in full war gear with a spatula in hand going "FOR THE TAPE EMPIRE!"

Yeah, just have the rebel leader of the Casettes called Tape (who is actually a personified version of a broken and taped-up videocassette) and the HD dictator Memory (based on memory storage) head-to-head in a combat nightmare.
Go for it Wrev!! Bring down the evil-ness of unnecessary movie improvement!!

Ah. The scarred veteran of watched-ness...
I imagine DVDS as communists. OH THAT REMINDS ME!
Watched this movie in English. IT IS AWESOME AND INSPIRING ON SO MANY LEVELS. I want to read the book so badly.

"The least painful of your childhood films."~ my dad.
My friend had never seen it, so when she was over at my house, I got out my V!H!S! and MADE her watch it. ("It will save your soul!")
I also shoved Death Becomes Her (you would like it) and The Frighteners (you would also like it. Call me insane, but Michael J. Fox is HOTT. And there's a crazy in it. Several crazies.) down her throat.
She liked it.

XDD
I destroyed VHS tapes as a child.
Not all of them. Just toy story.
And not completely, but I won't say that I didn't regret it still. The last ten minutes of it is just fuzzy.
I pulled all the tape out to see what was inside.
