Hi,
Thought I'd do a post to show off my dvd collection.
I don't use streaming services, or watch terrestrial TV, so only watch dvds. No bluetooth either, or wifi, i use a cd player for music too.
I once bought 1000 dvds for £25, they are very cheap, although i might spend a few quid on a dvd i particularly want, being the series: the detectorists, of which is worth the £15 i spent on the three series.
Ive always enjoyed film, as one who has spent the majority of my waking time dreaming, a film really sticks with me and has the ability to emotionally charge me, or spurn on a week of frenzied curiosity, where by my whole belief system is changed for a while and i grow as a person, it also can have the opposite effect, i dare say, so I'm careful about what i watch.
My five favourites are as follows:
Films:
Interstellar
The big lebowski
Burn after reading
The lord of the rings
The game
Series:
Big bang theory
Dads army
Red dwarf
The expanse
The detectorists
And ill add the american version of the office to this list, and there are many more to add for both the films and series, but these were the five that came to mind. Tenet is a great film, clockwork orange is still a good film, spaced is a good series.
Some of my collection are blu rays, but i really dont see much difference between dvd and bluray, maybe its just my eyesight.
Here are my series dvds:
Here are my film dvds:
And a few hundred more in cupboards, this is half of the collection i did have.
As my love of film is only comparable to my love of music, heres one of my songs called: Life, the motion picture. I think the lyrics will let you know the relevance to this topic of film.
Lyrics:
Life the motion picture
Start, stop a constant flutter
Of light and shadow, spin times arrow
Trim then glue, love the view
Moments roll by and they edit our lives
For the director knows better
But their not that clever
Because we can all tell
That this life is a lie
And when the frames re-spin
Their games will die
And this illusion is an intrusion
They control our minds
But the collective is protected
And can see beyond time
And when they force us to fight
It’s just a trick of the light
They may control the day
But their fate is black as night
So long we’ll say
As the fool leads the way
You didn’t count on that
As the mad man pulls from his hat
Alight so bright
The audience finally clapped
Thanks for reading.
Have a good day.
Kind regards,
B Good (from the soundminds)
