Do you have anything good on your list? Are you a movie lover in general? Who is your favorite director? Please remember that Laserdiscs are just dead pieces of plastic. It’s the humanity they represent that is important. Being released late has zero correlation to artistic merit or cultural significance. A “late release” isn’t going to change your outlook on life or teach you anything just because it’s “late”.

That Sherlock Holmes set looks fantastic. I see there is a white box version too. Is that an earlier release? Any differences? It looks like something I'd be in to, though I'd be looking for it subbed and on DVD or better I think. I'd take this opportunity to recommend a film called Gauche The Cellist, you'd probably like that. Very good anime film from 1982. Gauche the Cellist (1982) [K78L-1001]

Did all your friends got woke or something ? Since it’s a traditional boy meets girl movie and it somehow offends 3rd wave feminists ?
She’s all that together with American Pie are gold standards of late 90s early 2000s teen movies. I’m not really familiar with the slang you are using (I’ve never been to a Men’s Rights rally). Can you use normal English, please? I’m trying to talk about movies. Who is your favorite director?

Gauche the Cellist (1982) [K78L-1001]IIRC the white box is the OG and the blue the reprint. The insides are surprisingly identical, I think, maybe the phone card has a different date on it but they both have the book. The book cover changes color with the outer box too, IIRC.

All the discs inside that box are perfect aesthetically. Those meant more to me as those were discs I'd specifically procured. The other box is the 21 disc, 1 Yen special! Interestingly they took quite the journey to get to my door. It took FedEx over 2 weeks to deliver this lot. They sat in Japan for ages. Then got punted across to Taiwan, then Hong Kong, then Belgium, then Germany, then the UK and finally Ireland. Usually they go Japan > France and/or Belgium > UK > Ireland and within 4 or 5 days. Probably COVID-19 related delays which is understandable, just so long as the workforce are all safe and well is what matters. I'll post 'em up here tonight once I've defrosted from sea swimming after work!
