There's a lot of talk about "Definitive Edition" DVDs and "Ultimate Edition" blu-rays. The truth is there has never been a "Definitive" or "Ultimate" format for video.

Until now.

As I watched the high definition format war unfold on my computer screen from the armchair of my candle-lit loft, I knew that my 1980's medical horror drama, Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, would need to buck the trend. It had already been released on DVD, and putting that all together was a major hassle. I must have wasted at least three hours filming the special features.

Rather than being re-released and re-re-released, I thought it best to spend the royalty payments for my latest chiller (Slicer VI: The Class Cut-Up, in finer used bookstores) on developing a new technology that will ultimately replace every video format ever conceived.

So prepare, weary and impoverished home entertainment connoisseur (that means "buyer"), for in three short months you will be able to witness Garth Marenghi's Darkplace in ultra high definition MHDVI. (Mareng-Hi-Definition Video Implant) Just plug the digital video capsule (patent pending) into your left eye and prepare to be bombarded again and again with the shrieks, scares, and sex of the most controversial series to ever grace the airwaves.

You're welcome.

There are even talks of releasing entire seasons of TV shows on DVD! That's both crazy and impossible! Companies would never do that when they can continue to sell single releases of a few hand selected episodes.

I think Kevin Smith said it best on his laserdisc commentary for "Chasing Amy". I don't like how DVDs force you to watch letterboxed versions of movies. Atleast the VHS versions are in pan-and-scan, which fills the area of your whole screen. Now if only I could find a TV that was in color.

No, no, no, no, no you dumbass. Quarter-inch tape machines and Betamax are clearly the way to go. Just wait. You'll see!

VHS sucks! LaserDisc is where it's at.
LaserDisc is bigger than VHS, so it must be better.
