I read that as "So far I only have 5.4k titles on my shelf." 5400 discs?! But no, it's five 4K titles. Need to spell out the number in cases like that.

Funny you should mention this. I'd never heard of this format until I read a post on another forum by a guy who not only has titles in this format but still has a player that can play them and just watched something in it. Here's the quote: I still watch things on VHS myself, but that's the...

I still have a lot of VHS tapes and enjoy watching good transfers in that format. I have perfectly good VHS copies of lots of titles that I feel no need to upgrade. The only problem is that all my CRT TV/VCR combos have crapped out on me and they were the best way to watch VHS tapes. Flatscreen...

I still buy CDs from CDJapan, a Tokyo-based mail order dealer, but they're all J-pop, since I can't find them at stores in the U.S. (Only two stores in Manhattan continue to sell Japanese CDs, but they never carry the stuff I want.) For classical music and soundtrack albums that I don't...

All highly recommended to jcroy by me also...^_^

Jeez, you're no help. I'm trying to get jcroy to break out of his black-and-white-free comfort zone and I figured if he liked METROPOLIS, he'd like this. Let him decide for himself if the speeches are mind-numbing. (For the record, they never bothered me. My God, it's Raymond "Abe Lincoln"...

I recommend that you watch it. You won't regret it. (Can anyone else on this board back me up with some THINGS TO COME love for Jcroy?)

If you'd seen it, you'd remember it. It's anything but forgettable.

Have you ever seen THINGS TO COME (1936)? It's a pioneering sci-fi film with a screenplay by H.G. Wells! Criterion has released a beautiful Blu-ray edition of it.

Wow, this thread has turned from depressing into despairing. (Or is it the other way around?) :(

Neither of my parents had ever had a TV set until they moved to the Bronx in 1955--with four kids in tow, including me. I suspect there are quite a few members here whose parents grew up well before TV sets were in homes.

I recently went through some old files and found TV listings from the 1960s and '70s. Between the six commercial broadcast stations there were old movies on practically all day, much like watching TCM today, except that TCM doesn't run some of the more obscure sci-fi/horror/monster movies we...

As a Baby Boomer, my recollection is a bit different, unless I'm misunderstanding you. When I was growing up, a lot of my friends and I, esp. in college, were intensely interested in our parents' pop culture, mainly 1930s and '40s movies, but also the music--big band, jazz, vocalists like Billie...

My physical media purchases have tended to be driven by obsessions with Asian countries' film/TV offerings and pop culture. And for a lot of these interests, physical media was the only way to enjoy these obsessions for a very long time. This applies to anime, Hong Kong cinema, kung fu films...
