OMG! they don't do the short takes anymore.. forgot about those...
btw I totally remember hardware wars.. YOU'LL LAUGH, YOU'LL CRY, YOU'LL KISS THREE BUCKS GOODBYE!! as if movies are that cheap now!! hahaha $3 will get you a drink... or a MEDIUM popcorn. not even a large.. fuggin amazing...
Does anybody remember that HBO short take that was about that man that got eaten up by a reel of tape? It was kind of creepy for my age back then. Would love to see it again!
The short film you speak of is called "Recorded Live" and is on Youtube. They used to show it in between movies on HBO in the 1980s. Just type in Recorded Live and it will come up in the search.
This gave me chills- especially the 'short takes' bit- I'm always looking for any of these short animations/films I can find. It's been a 15+ year search for me- do you have the short take that came after this clip ended? I would love to see it if you do :)
I do actually,but its at the end of the tape and it gets cut off half way thru sadly,but im glad it gave you chills lol,its always nice to revisit the past thru the power of recording.
I forgot about most of those movies except for Ghostbusters

Howie Mandel was also busy doing St. Elsewhere on NBC, & that was just 20 years before he hosted "Deal or No Deal" on that same network, too.
