Laser Disc, Risky Business, CRT Projector

Laser Disc, Risky Business, CRT Projector Tube. Duration : 2.18 Mins.


I play a laser disc from my collection on my 1986 CRT projector. However, at the begining of the video you see me thumb through a few titles from my Video Disc collection. Video discs are different than laser discs. Video discs were a RCA product that never gained wide acpetance. The discs were actaully vinyl like old music recordings but they the video disc spin faster and the grooves are much closer together. The movie Risky Business must have been influential to many young people at the time. In fact the current economic conditions may be a result of the very attitudes demonstrated by the charaters in this film. Even though I think the MAKE MONEY attitude of the film is a bit repugnant it is still a well made and enjoyable movie. A very the ery least it is an indicator of a time gone bye.
