Interesting thread flow....

Just spun up LOST HORIZON and LE GRANDE BLUE, both were directors cuts,.
For a buddy visiting that has appreciated LaserDiscs since my collection began in the mid 1990's.

From the outside looking in, he has offered to help me move when the time is mandated down the road! Lmao !

LaserDiscs, while unaffordable in my youth, have a vibrant and currently exciting place in my life.
That is why I still spin up these large reflective platters, and at the time of this posting, still collect vintage content for my collection! ! !

I also enjoy physical books. One finds a book, a gift that is represented each time when opened.
No broadband, no download, and best yet, not dependent on electricity.

Reading The Lord of the Rings for the third time in my life.
Relishing each memory associated with the incredibly detailed world created by Tolkien.
Words are difficult to find and to explain how enjoyable this story really is.

Never found kindle that ideal. Rather cumbersome to me.

Phillip K. Dick paperbacks and hardcovers are part of my collecting jonez.......

Cheers mates

I havent been in a theater in a while but IIRC the theater has the more "softer" look if film meanwhile a 4k tv seems sharper and the colours more vibrant/saturated. One does not have to be better than the other may e personal preference.

@signofzeta

sorry for the confusion, I meant when I order LDs from the LDDB store I use a shipping address in the USA then that gets forwarded to me

Absolutely 100% how i feel. Maybe it's due i grew up watching black&white TV and it really wasn't much of a prolem even there were color TV's around. We just got our color TV late (early 80's). Nothing beats watching great academy ratio black&white, film noir.

Not everything needs to be "perfect". Kind of, is it the movie, or is it the technology.
