  1. Yes… but we can see now a come back of 80’s with fashion, video clips, and so on.
    They may have been tired of 70’s for now (or we have bought too much…).
    It’s strange to see that everything is regular (like a loop, coming back, coming back, coming back).
    My question is, if things are going this way, we discover now right brainers abilities, my guess is that one day we will say: let’s go back to left brain thinking system, pure science, facts and so on…
    it’s been the same because of enlightments

    well I hope not

  2. I read the other day that “A History of Violence” in 2006 was the last VHS of a major Hollywood production to be shipped to the US. I found it ironic that Jack Black’s “Be Kind, Please Rewind” – all about saving a video store – will only be sold on DVD.

  3. What’s a DVD kiosk … my grandkids use my computer…when they’re not using my phone….:O)
