Today's comment comes from Altwin Hawksford in regard to our recent story about Cody Jones and his love of VHS tapes.

Hawksford writes,

"To Cody Jones...I too am an avid VHS collector. About 1000 titles. My shelves are my wallpaper adorned by them (and cassettes and vinyl). Directors (Kurosawa, Wes Anderson. Steve Buscemi.....Actor(Clint Eastwood outside western, Harry Dean Stanton...), B-horror and sci fi, big horror & sci-fi, foreign, classics, 80's, westerns, Troma shelf, blaxploitation shelf, Bruce Campbell shelf(this is where the different covers are cool), Twin Peaks shelf...Yeah, it's something to be proud of. It's an art and it's space limiting. But it's the ultimate library when it's all said and done. I too have paid good money for a rare film that was never put on DVD like Ludia Lunch's "This Gun Is Loaded" or The Evil Dead Lunchbox that comes with the VHS tape inside. It's a good love to have. Good to know I'm not alone."
