It was no surprise when DVD swiftly overtook VHS as the primary medium for home entertainment; discs are lighter, easier to store, and they offer tons of nifty content which would be impossible to include on video cassettes. (Unless you’re like me and you tend to watch the sort of cut-rate, Z-grade DVDs with special features such as “Interactive Menu” and “Korean subtitles.”)
One thing that was lost in the VHS-to-DVD conversion, though, is
the presence of pre-movie commercials. You know, the advertisements that played
after the FBI warning but before the film actually began? Remember those?
