Topic: 1979 in home video


  
  Home computer - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
The home computer is a consumer-friendly word for the second generation of microcomputers (the technical term that was previously used), entering the market in 1977 and becoming common during the 1980s.
The home computer largely died out at the end of the decade (in the U.S.) or in the early 1990s (in Europe) due to the rise of the IBM PC compatible personal computer (the IBM PC and its clones are not covered in this article).
Home computers most often had their OS, of which one part was usually a BASIC interpreter, stored in one or more ROM chips.

 Home Video
These formats had been developed with home video in mind, and although they were either too crude, complex, cumbersome or costly to catch on with consumers, both were successes in educational and industrial markets, allowing Sony to continue development work.
What home video has enabled is the phenomenon of "cocooning," the ability to participate in cultural consumption without going out in public.
In all, the history of home video indicates that technology does not so much change society as better enable people to pursue their existing interests, be it the few who experiment with media alternatives, or the many who seek Hollywood thrills and romance from the comfort of their living room sofas.

 The Black Hole [1979] - Walt Disney Home Video, vhs
Comment: Ever since this came out in 1979, when I saw it at the cinema 3 times age11 (which was alot when we only went to the cinema once a year!), I haveloved this film.
While owing something of a debt to '2001: A Space Odyssey', the final minutes of 'The Black Hole' turn out to be far better than they would have been if the sterotypically formulaic goodies' victory sequence had been allowed to happen.
I loved this film when I saw it in 1979.

What gets me is that, in the press releases that came out with Redux, Coppola claimed that he no longer considered the 1979 version of Apocalypse to be "unusual." He felt that, today, it comes off as a rather ordinary film.
This movie will challenge your ideas about war, not to change them or to promote a particular ideology, but just to inspire introspection.
If you have not yet seen this movie, it should be on the top of your "Must See" list, and the DVD provides a fantastic home theater experience.

He preferred to remain enigmatic, but even a casual observer back then could see that the only thing that mattered to him was his music — a broad and lifelong passion that eventually put him in conflict not with the forces of establishment during the turbulent sixties, but with music fans themselves.
Nonetheless, No Direction Home astutely confines itself to Dylan's most mercurial years, from his earliest days as a solo performer to the 1966 motorcycle accident that allowed him to retreat from the light and heat of his own celebrity.
