Laserdisc: the name that used to be associated with the highest quality of film presentation in our homes. Now, in the glory days of DVD, many have forgotten about the big plastic platters of yesteryear. The thing is, I still love laserdisc. Despite the fact that new films and old favorites are on DVD or coming soon, the format doesn't have the nostalgic, elitist essence like laserdisc. I remember the day when owning a player meant you were a serious theaterphile. I still hold this true. I mean who honestly pays $50 with a movie with no supplements? We payed it because we love movies and we love high quality. I decided to write all this because of my recent purchase of the CAV set of Jurassic Park. After watching it, I was amazed on how good the format still holds up. It felt like the old days again when Laser was king, and PCM pro-logic was state-of-the-art. It was a very nostalgic moment. Anyhow, I ramble on. What do all you guys and gals think? You still love your lasers, or are you just gonna chuck them to the side of the road like beta?
