In this music video of the Italian singer Max pezzali in minute 1:11 in the background there is a disc that seems to me a laser disc, do you think? |

In the 2004 Cutey Honey live-action movie http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0409860/ they are doing karaoke from Laserdisc. The discs can be seen during the karaoke on a table in the right background (52.03-52.35), followed by a close-up of the discs (52.39-52.41). The next morning a Pioneer LD-Player can be seen in the rack under the TV (53.06-53.44). I assume that it's a DVL-919 or DVL-H9. That's the movie Greetings |

I watched the movie Ricochet with Denzel Washington a couple of weeks ago on LD and Denzel Washington said the following thing in the movie after losing everything: "I got it all, Blake, respect, money, power, home, family, foreign car, VCR, Laserdisc" I find it really funny how he pronounced the word Laserdisc in the movie. You can see it for yourself here (1h32m4s): Now the funny thing is that in the German version of the movie it says: "Ich hatte alles, Blake, Stellung, Geld, Macht, Haus, Familie, Auto, Videorekorder, Stereoanlage" so they actually dubbed Laserdisc into "Stereoanlage" which simply means "stereo". I guess they wouldn't expect German viewers to know what a Laserdisc is. |

In season 2 of 'Community' Troy had gone through the wardrobe of Pierce (Chevy Chase) and is saying something like: "All I found was 'Emmanuelle' on LaserDisc. I couldn't watch it, but it sounded sexy:... La..ser..disc... The series is worth checking out, btw! Cheers, Ro-Disc |

There's apparently a mention and slight showing of Laserdiscs in the new sitcom Brooklyn Nine Nine: http://insidetv.ew.com/2014/01/06/brook ... y-samberg/ |

Yeah, my aunt got my hopes up one time when she told me this one thrift shop had stacks of Laserdiscs for sale for cheap. Of course when I got there they were CED's of course! |

There's another Sopranos mention - if I'm remembering it correctly another mobster is selling Tony some stolen DVD players and has to convince Tony that they're "like laserdiscs but better," unfortunately I can't remember exactly what was said. A few years ago someone selling vinyl records in Portobello Road Market in London had a laserdisc as his sign - unfortunately he'd painted his business's name on it! Never did find out what the disc was, the label was painted over too. And I've had a friend buy "laserdiscs" for me, only to find that they were actually CED - took me ages to find a buyer. And as I mentioned in another post, a laserdisc player turned up on ebay UK recently as a "Videodisc player" - I was expecting yet another CED player, instead it was an early Philips laserdisc player with a big stack of discs. |
