Physical Media

Sold most of my collection to get a camera. Ended up getting a decent amount from criterion and other box sets. This is all that's left.

>xbox one

>Gods of Egypt steelbook
>Howard the Duck omnibus

wut....

Rare Replay is pretty nice. Plus it's my only Blu ray player.

>gods of egypt steelbook

egads. Im a steelbook whore and almost bought it, but still had SOME self control

We seem to both be horror/troma autismos, so can you explain why the burning is held in such high regard? it gets called the best friday the 13th clone, best 80s slasher period... I don't get it at all. I wouldn't even call it good, just a run of the mill friday the 13th clone to me.

mah nigga

the intruder is in the top 3 slashers of the 80s

plus just got these this week

>gods of egypt steelbook

...

2/2

Why are people buying movies and tv shows on physical media when it will just become obsolete in a few years? I don't get it, are they dumb?

>Cloverfield on DVD

0/10

>Gerber Howard the Duck

My man!

>Xbox One

I really want to see a district 9 sequel

Cool, we have the same edition of watchmen.

You gain 3 points...

3/10

People collect things.

I love my Street Trash and Class of 84 DVDs too much to upgrade. Did the Blu come with the Viper stickers to put on a flask?

If I buy you 28 days with Sandra Bullock will you put it above your other 28 days/weeks movies so as to confuse the shit out of people?

Some people like things. Tangible things. "Obsolescence" means nothing to me....

But there will be better-quality versions of your movies and tv shows released in the future and why would you watch the inferior versions when something better is available?

Those are Big titles.

Why are you concerned how people spend their money? I suggest you start a petition and run for office with this as your platform.

That's my reasoning for not buying movies and tv, though I spend a lot of money on books. It doesn't make sense for me.

>2016
>reading books

Personally I've been in situations without internet or a computer but had a tv and dvd player either through a gaming system or dvd player and it helped having those dvds for the period of time I didn't have internet or a comp. Also when the blockbusters and hollywood videos went out of business I got a bunch of movies pretty cheap.

Personally there are still some movies that I'd rather watch on VHS. Its just a feel I guess. Certain movies just look right in certain formats. Also, with VHS being obsolete any thrift store in America will have tons and tons of them for less than a dollar a piece...and that's a perfect way for me (poorfag) to discover random old films I would otherwise have to buy on Blu Ray for $30 a pop.

I have torrents, I have DVD, Blu Ray and even Laserdisc collections. The only major format I haven't got into is D-VHS, Beta and HD DVD (for obvious reasons...)

Certain movies you want that fuzzy feeling. Certain movies you want clarity. And sometimes it doesn't even matter. I just like tangible media.

Are you on Cinemageddon? Tonne of VHS rips there.

I'm not but maybe I should be.

I'm not one of those fanatics who buys $50 VHS tapes. And the most I've ever spent on an LD was $30 for Phenomena.

>his only Blu-ray player doesn't bitstream HD audio

I spent $60 for a VHS so I could upload it to private trackers. It's on Cinemageddon and other sites now. Why don't you have an account?

My recent haul, r8 don't h8 m8's.

Oh sweet. I didn't know Freaked came out on blu ray. I gotta pick that up.

...

In about 10 years once physical copies of movies are a thing of the past and everything is done online or OnDemand, and Hollywood no longer lets you buy your own copy of the movie and instead only lets you rent them for a 24 hour period for $14.99, people are really going to regret being too lazy to keep physical media around

My recents.

those are some good choices but damn you must be loaded those arrow releases aren't cheap.
There are some great movies in there and also a lot of really terrible ones you should be ashamed of owning. I mean yeah glad to see some love for Cheap Thrills, American Werewolf in London, the Mutilator, Gone with the Pope, Sleepaway Camp etc, but really amazing spiderman 2? Detention? Man of Steel?

Most Arrow releases are 5 for £30 at my local HMV.

How do you get one? I probably wouldn't use it anyways, though, I live by a videostore that has like 90,000 movies or something crazy like that, and I like to support local bussiness.

that's crazy they're like $30 a piece here in the US, $20 on a nice sale.

Hey OP what did you think of Carsick? I'm going to start reading it tomorrow.

I kept some because I love them, others like Amazing Spiderman MoS amongst others were worth a dollar so I didn't sell them.Carsick is amazing. John Waters signed them for free after a show in Boston

>branded to kill
>bruce lee
>BWHOH
>goddamn Fall of the House of Usher

so based

Yikes

Also, Man of Steel actually means a lot to me. After failing to kill myself the first movie I watched after leaving the hospital was Watchmen. Saw Man of Steel with fellow patients who got out and we all kind of dug it. One of those sentimental moments that blind me from how bad the movie may be.

Thanks user :3

one day you'll understand

maybe you should try again?

Why buy physical books when you can buy a Amazon fire tablet?

Everytime I buy a movie I just wind up selling it a month later unopened and downloading a rip to watch. I always think I want to start a collection of physical copies but realize that it's way easier to just download shit I want for free and would rather spend the money on other shit.

100% agree with this dude.

I mostly buy comic books and I don't like reading on a screen.

>David Lynch
>The Evil Within
>Deadpool
>Gods of Egypt

You must've had a shit collection to start out with.

That's awesome.

The feeling of holding an actual book in your hand feels way better than holding a tablet, though I do own both. I have a large library of antique books, then I get newer books on my tablet and if I enjoy them (some newer purchases are The Disaster Artist and John Waters' Crackpot and Role Models) I buy the actual book in the earliest edition I can find. I figure it will be a nice thing to pass down after I die so my ancestors can sell them for drug money.

Not OP but Evil Within is only 15 bucks most places. Most stores don't buy back steelbook blu-rays. I tried to sell Planet of the Apes and Gaurdians of the Galaxy but there is no UPC on back so shops don't have them in computer.

No shit? Wow, guess it pays to be super selective. Collection is in storage. Sorry familia, it's just a ton of polarizing films.

What are your rarest items, fellow collectorfags?

Mine are a silent 8mm film copy of Browning's Dracula (Castle films 1963-77), and an original limited edition VHS tape of Jorg Buttgereit's Der Todesking (numbered 416 of 500, Headpress 1998), both in mint condition.
They are not really that rare or expensive (yet), but they are the best I got.

Second edition of Treasure Island printed in 1886.

That's not a movie famalam

Yes, but as mentioned here I, like OP, also collect books.

My rarest film related thing is an original one sheet from my favorite film, The Thing From Another World, exactly like this one.

Probably this limted-to-300-compies slipcased edition of Jodorowsky and Moebius' The Incal,

You need someone to invite you. I suppose I could. Do you have a throwaway email?
