Seems like a fluke or comedy of errors.
Media Class route has been rock solid in my experience all through the pandemic.
No interruption in transit that i recall ever really.
Just a temporary glitch for you i hope....
Let us know if Kaos continues in your locale....

Another moment that sends one whirling into memory and reminisce.
Working night hospital shift when the lab MT telegramed me "Meatloaf died"
He will always be Robert Paulson in my fondest recollection of FIGHT CLUB.
PARADISE BY THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS introduced me as a young lad to his muse.
Bat out of Hell album cover still ranks high on the list of coolest vinyl covers ever.
Condolances to friends and family.
May you rest in peace Michael. Thanks for all you gave the world..... |

Nope, not getting in the way one bit.
I pace myself in all my hobby ventures moderately.
There is an ebb and flow over the decades however I find spicy pearls in the mud from time to time that remind me why I collect my various hobbies of interest.
I do believe to be moderately happy, one must use moderate restraint in all areas of life.
To contribute a moderate amount of time and energy to things that interest me is the reason I am planetside.
That and eating broccoli and kale.
I revel in the dawning of our electronic age and look forward withe moderate enthusiasm to what is to come.
Sneak peeks to DARPA hints for the future is both moderately disturbing and exciting at the same time.
With neurolink and space-X evolving so quickly, the world is going to be a busier place then I can imagine.
Some are all or none with resources, so I respect people's choices to fetter out or change minds about hobbies.
HOWEVER -
My love affair with LaserDisc is still hot and heavy all things considered !
So NOPE !
Cheers mates |

Another rarity is the French version of Fantastic Planet released in Japan.
No English soundtrack.
Beautiful artwork.

Do Blu-rays count?
Of course they do !
Just viewed Hellboy (original) and the blu ray extra suppliment installment for Hellboy Golden Army.
Really enjoyed all the extra content especially all the thought and creativity that went into Blink and all the Troll Market extras. Del Torro is literally a creative GENIUS. (ALONG WITH HIS ARMY OF TEAM MEMBERS).
Also just viewed the blu ray Fifth Element and Valerian and the City of 1000 planets.
Luc Besson classics.
Also that week, Kurt Wimmer epic "ULTRAVIOLET"
Mia Jovovich utterly epic performance of the comic heroine VIOLET Song Jat Shariff....
Check it if ya haven't.
Cheers mates ! |

Have not spun up a LaserDisc in over three months.
Due to changing demographic situation I have most of my media stored until further down the road.
This situation is far from ideal however it does underscore how much I miss and value the LaserDisc experience.
It is said that absence make the heart grow fonder.... In my case I can confirm that ABSENCE does indeed make me miss this media most seriously.
The day when I set up my analog sound system (with the new addition of a turntable for vinyl !) and spin up a large silver Platter will be a day worth remembering.
I am working diligently to HURRY the DAY.
Enjoy your Laserdiscs mates.
Don't know what ya got till it's gone !
cheers |

Just got done watching The Manitou with Tony Curtis aka Jamie Lee Curtis's estranged father and I don't know how to feel about this movie. It was okay but not great. I feel like it could have been better. It was definitely a strange movie. I like the actor that played the Native American in the movie but I don't know if he was actually Native American in real life. He looked Native American to me but I know Hollywood sometimes dresses up white people or other ethnicities to look Native American. I don't really think that's an issue unless Native Americans are offended by that. I personally don't care if Hollywood cast someone to play a different race as long as they don't totally disrespect Native American culture. With that said the whole Native American Medicine man thing I know nothing about if any of this has truth to it. I watched this movie with my Dad and when the actor was putting magical circle around the bed to keep the bad Native American Medicine Man in it I have no idea if Native Americans believe or believed in this stuff at one time. It's always stuff in tv shows and movies but my Dad said that it's accurate but who knows. Hollywood can just put stuff in their movies and say this is how Native American culture was at one time.
Manitou was a respected and feared entity in Native American tribe circles. Often referred to as appearing in dreams.
To be clear there were good and bad Manitou. There were Male and Female Manitou.
All tribes themes varied however it was observed not to upset but to respect and not anger Manitou spirits.
Perhaps others can weigh in, as my knowledge is quite limited in reference to historical significance or whether contemporary tribal homage is given.
In Hawaii similar spirits have been called Aumakua - Familial guardians or ancestors who can assume the form of animals and plants or other forms occuring in nature. i.e - sharks, owls, plants, or even people.
Loved that movie back in the '70s. Didn't Dick Smith do the make-up effects for THE MANITOU ?
Just finished the Ruth Beebee Hill novel "Hanta Yo" a fictional story about a Lakota Sioux tribe and their migrations in the early and mid 19th century. She researched the heck out of the culture and I can atest that the concept of Spirit and connection to nature involved a cosmology outside the western ability to comprehend. Their MEDICINE MEN were indeed tapped into something seriously metaphysical.
One could spend a lifetime learning even just one tribes "mediciene"
Any way, I second the manitou, check it out for a different thriller for certain.

A reasonable amount of time.
People do have real life situations that interfere with a timely invoice.
However, if the dealer takes their trade seriously, notice of introduction and / or acknowledgment follow directly.
Patience is a virtue......
And then occasionally the invoice NEVER arrives.....

Picked up a copy of EXISTENZ [18115 AS] recently from international dealer.
Jacket is chowdered and disc has lots of fine hairlines, however worth price to add this Cronenberg gem to shelves.
Definitely an odd tale. Liked William Dafoe's character "gas".
In an era of breakthrough gaming via multiple verses, this movie takes one "there".... imo !

Thx for that, Existenz was streaming and I caught a few minutes, cronenberg is a take it or leave it to me but he picks stories that have a specific take
on what is about to happen in the future with an odd grotesque style added.
Need to sit and watch it if its streaming again, I'm not a super fan of how Jude Law was acting in that film, too fake naive for me.
I read you re : Jude Law.
In his defense, very early in his career. Wasn't GATTICA his first film a tad before existence?
I know he appeared quite young in those films early on ...... |

Bottom line, a changing world mates.
Nothing is static on a world in flux !
ALL PRICES, ESPECIALLY FOOD ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO SKYROCKET.
I advise my son to detach.
To not get emotionally upset or distracted, especially by the inflation currently racking our system stateside.
Some solutions and tactics to navigate this path unfolding ahead !
Attend my soapbox beast mode :
Adapt, improvise, achieve, and overcome obstacles .... especially financial.
Ooda loop - observe, orient, decide, ACT.
DETACH - PRIORITIZE - EXECUTE.
Cliche I know, however these formulas allow me to persevere on a daily basis through my occupation in the field and in the clinical setting.....
Check shipping rates frequently......
Check interest rates frequently as well ....
And stay tuned, we are in for one heck of a ride to be certain ! |

A most disturbing trend.
What is the dealers expectation ?
Do business without paying due and proper fees ?
Send them packing Julien...... |

Loved those jackets with the care tips......
Very helpful.
I used several mild cleaners, however just a good breath and polish worked 9 times out of 10.
Science it out....
Always test trial on a valueless platter. I kept several around just for that purpose.
