Rewind This! Page #3

it's coming right at ya there.

It's even got a drill

right in front,

because it's f***in' badass.

This is one of my

prized possessions.

The Leslie Nielsen

Bad Golf Made Easier,

signed by Leslie Nielsen.

I don't know if you can get in

on the gold signature

of the man himself.

Stand directly

in your opponent's line,

and lean imperceptibly

to one side or another

as he tries to read the break.

This is a movie called

Death Rider.

This is a shot-on-video western.

And it is really one of the most

impossibly...

hypnotically awkward things

that you will ever see.

I thought

you were dead, Clayton.

No, that's my brother you're

talkin' about.

And it's kind of

a passion project

by this guy Ronald Koontz,

who is the lead actor, writer,

director, editor, cameraman,

and he 'proudced' the film.

Probably my favorite 'proudcer'

is Ronald Koontz.

Now I'm getting into

all the ones that I gasp about.

The Windows 95 Easy Instruction

Video Guide,

featuring Matthew Perry

and Jennifer Aniston

in character.

Because this was

right when Friends started.

So it's all this, like,

"Oh really? You click

on the start window?"

That is pathetic.

When I first started,

I was like,

"Oh man, dude,

I have 80 movies."

It was just, like,

phenomenal to me

that I could, like,

pick through 80 movies.

But then I got to 500 and...

pretty soon I go to 1,000.

Zombies, occult, supernatural,

slasher movies.

I got a slasher closet

over there.

If there's at least three movies

that I can categorize together,

I'm like, "Okay, that can be

a sub-genre.

So I have one right now,

it's got four movies

and it's about homeless horror.

Get a job, loser,

you sh*t your f***in' pants.

So, that's

a little sub-genre I have.

I've learned a lot about

culture in general,

just by doing all these

little sub-sections.

There's a lot of things

you have to search out.

A lot of things

you have to look for,

not even knowing

what you're looking for.

And you might find

something that

you never knew was out there.

The video revolution

began in Japan in the mid-70's,

when the engineers at Sony

began to develop a tape format.

And at the same time,

the engineers at JVC,

they developed their own.

Back then, you know,

everything was Betamax/VHS.

And so, you went to a store,

there was always both formats.

Ridiculously,

they used to charge

$3 more for a VHS tape,

because you were

buying more plastic.

Really nothing happened

in any numbers until '79,

when it began to explode.

Both formats were originally

head-to-head,

fighting for the supremacy.

And it was sort of thought

that maybe

both could exist together.

Which proved not to be the case.
