Extraction (2020) Not as many kills as in John Wick but still plenty. The action choreography is really impressive. It's a great ride all the way through.

Watched a lot of crap on pluto and tubi but now spinning the important Killer, The: Special Edition #211 (1989) (Uncut) [CC1363L]This one's for you forper. Hope you can get a copy or have your copy, its a great transfer and I remember after watching it on cable back in the day, possibly Cinemax. I think it was dubbed. It came out on LD about a month later, my father and I went straight to Tower Video to pick this up, cost a small fortune but it was worth it and have enjoyed it ever since.

Criterions usually are low probability on rot, right? so my copy should be fine but still not enjoying it sucks.

Watched the first episode of Liquid Television, MTVs animation anthology from the 90s where Aeon Flux originally debuted. Watching it gave me this strange feeling, like I was actually watching TV back in the 90s again, although I'm positive this is the first time I'd seen any of it. Well, most of it anyway. I already got Aeon Flux on DVD, but it was still nice to see the original shorts in their proper context; however, the first episode also featured "Grinning Evil Death" - which is also on Computer Animation Festival #1 [72333-80037-6]!

This show never met its promise but I was very interested in it back in the day. Aeon Flux...is way too gross for my tastes but in general I appreciate the show. That was a very exciting time for independent animation.

Now I too feel an urge to dig out some of my old early 90s recorded from broadcast VHS & S-VHS tapes for a quick fix, have to admit I've not run them in years although They are mostly from BBC broadcasts so no commercials included, sadly I used to mainly edit out the commercials from the independent UK channels....a bad move in retrospect I think!

Yes, I also did some recordings on S-VHS about twenty years ago. I played some of these tapes this year and they still look beautiful. The funny thing is you can even read the teletext. It is not perfect but you can see the time and date and switch to the main page 100 to see today's news. I love S-VHS. It was an awesome format to record analogue broadcasts to. My player also had a function called S-VHS ET. You could record a S-VHS signal to a standard VHS tape. Yes, resolution was better but it was also grainier than a standard VHS recording and also depended on the quality of the VHS I used. The best tape for this purpose by far ! was the Maxell Black tape. I am also quite satisfied with the quality of my VHS recordings. I already threw out most of my VHS recordings but I still keep the more interesting recordings of rare films and documentaries and other stuff ( music, etc. ).

Thanks for jogging my memory regarding the teletext capability with S-VHS tapes confederate, I'd honestly forgotten all about that over time. I seem to recall now that even standard VHS recordings from broadcast could also capture the teletext signal to a degree although nowhere near as faithfully as the hi band version did, I've not had a chance to play back any of my tapes just yet and I'm sure I recorded from broadcast several live concerts to S-VHS through the period 1992-1997 (ish), will be interesting to see/hear those after all these years - so it seems VHS playback capability still lingers on in Germany, England & France for some of us at least, judging by these posts
