My parents didn't decide to finally get cable until 2007, by which point I'd already learned how to find free hardcore porn some time ago. Skinamax was pretty lame in comparison. It seems hilarious now that things wheeled back around to prestige tv being full of nudity. The Outer Limits had extended episodes on Showtime that added nudity, the first episode of SG-1 had tits in it. Now all the "prestige" tv has tits and dicks in it. They probably don't need them, but they're there so why not.

Softcore didn't seem bad at all when you were a kid who was used to surviving on Silk Stalkings reruns. TMI?

Don't we talk about vinegar syndrome? Surely, they must have released some of these movies on Blu-ray, right? Also, the signal that cable companies sent out was called an electric bullet. I would like to learn more about how it works, since I'm just curious about the specifics.

The really insidious one was the DirecTV/satellite version. It was junk code part of the monthly auth refreshes for like a year. Then one update compiled it all and it turned out to be a box killer code that instantly killed a shitload of black boxes.

I really couldn't tell you if they did anything from the 90's PPV era, since I think a lot of that stuff was done in video. Earlier this year they released Cold of the Night and Party Line, which both fit the early 90's Skinimax mold. I thought Party Line was pretty decent.

Also, lol at him having loving UMDs. If you took out all the redunant copies of movies either from different formats for in stupid plastic heads or whatever, this guy would probably have a smaller collection than anyone posting in this thread and probably nowhere near as interesting. He has at least six copies of Ready Player One, Jesus loving Christ. What a loser. There's probably tens of thousands of dollars worth of useless poo poo in there. Even if you can afford to spend that kind of money there are so many better things you can do with it. CPL593H fucked around with this message at 08:05 on Sep 10, 2019 |

Even if you can afford to spend that kind of money there are so many better things you can do with it. Ready Player One is definitely a red flag movie. Like I could excuse it if a misguided relative gave it to someone as a gift or if it was part of some radio station prize pack, but I definitely will never trust the taste of anyone who bought a copy of it for themselves. Hell I'll almost even allow it as a blind buy movie, although that comes with it's own host of taste problems. People like him just hoover up any movie out there just because they don't have it yet, that's called hoarding. Right now I'm trying to figure out what to do with the currently handful of DVDs I've upgraded to Blu and UHD.

I follow some folks on instagram who have big collections and they will just buy any old poo poo. "Look at these pickups I got today, I'm so excited!" and they're like 10 copies of bad romcoms from the 90s or DTV children's cartoons. I have a big collection but it's a fraction of what that guy has, and at this point I've limited myself to mostly only buying stuff from boutique labels. Bargain bin crap is not appealing to me at all.

I doubt people like that even watch most of that crap. They shovel those DTV children's cartoons out by the truckload, and I can look at the cover and see that if I had kids I'd have no desire to even consider buying that garbage for them. They're in the $5 to $15 range, and kids are dumb as hell, so they're everywhere every week. gey muckle mowser posted:I have a big collection but it's a fraction of what that guy has, and at this point I've limited myself to mostly only buying stuff from boutique labels. Bargain bin crap is not appealing to me at all.  I'll usually poke around in the upper layer of most bargain bins for a minute or two, but it's super rare that I'll find anything I want. I think the actual last thing I bought out of a bargain bin was a Blu Ray of Harry and the Hendersons about 2 years ago.

Yea I mean the entire reason I collect movies is so that I'll have movies to watch. I enjoy having a shelf with the movies on it so I can look over them and choose something, but still this is all in the service of the main activity, which is actually watching a movie. I have close to 300 blu rays and I've watched every single one of them at least once. I don't just buy something so I can put it on the shelf forget about it.

On the other hand, I assume that neither of us are buying 3 copies of Good Luck Chuck because Best Buy and Walmart have different exclusive Steelbooks and Target comes with a Dane Cook Funko Pop

Not the same thing as spending money on duplicate copies of the same movie or going on some quest to own every single movie ever made even if you know you don't like half of them and will never watch them.

I didn't notice any Criterions in this massive pile of garbage or anything from a boutique label. The only Criterion he had was The Princess Bride, which is not a bad movie or anything but holy poo poo what a boring choice considering their catalog.

I'm definitely jealous of someone having that kind of space and the money to burn to be able to basically have no limits to your collection. If I had a house with a nice finished basement I'd probably be going that route too but I wouldn't have like, 4 nearly identical copies of Fight Club right next to each other taking up space on the wall. I actually had that kind of situation come up recently where I bought the Ghostbusters UHD steelbook and I already had the blu ray release from a few years ago. Sorry old blu ray, you get pulled off the shelf and put into storage because I'm not having two copies of Ghostbusters taking up space just because they have different packaging.

Sure I've seen Fight Club, but I've never seen it after taking the DVD out of a plastic crate that looks like a bar of soap. edit: For the money that guy wastes on that garbage he could probably set up a home theater with loving film prints. Or at the very least use all that space to have a nice home theater system instead of a moderately priced tv crammed three feet away from the couch.

I'll be honest, I'm kinda glad that the heyday of special editions that come in a limited edition deluxe package that will never fit on a standard shelf is over. It's frustrating as hell when I have to try to make something fit in my shelving and nope, now I can't have everything truly alphabetical anymore, because now I have to store this Homer Simpson clamshell somewhere that it will fit, making the awkward an awkward jump between seasons 5 and 7.
