I was at the thrift store and found a sealed copy of Beaches on VHS and the soundtrack on cassette tape! Once or twice a year, I buy a bottle of wine and drunkenly mourn the death of Barbara Hershey while Bette Midler sings "Wind Beneath My Wings" It is literally the gayest thing I do.

Digital Media? I hardly know her! Laserdisc, VHS, BetaMax, and a CRT. That's how I get down. Sometimes I talk about old video games. I love my Trans, Queer, and BIPOC homies, so bigots can fuck right off.
My new bedside setup. I'm enjoying this WAY more than I thought I would.
Am I the only one who thinks Donatello is black?
Found some absolute treasures on Good Squid and decided to splurge a little. Highlights are Stray Dog: Kerberos Panzer Cops, The Living Skeleton, The War In Space, and Liquid Sky. If you're looking for cheap import Laserdiscs, Good Squid is probably the best you're gonna find on the web.
You owe it to yourself to watch Thumb Wars on a tiny little CRT. I absolutely love this shit.
I've got movies to watch on my new tiny TV.
FOUND ONE! My childhood sick day TV! The Panasonic CT-5511 Electrotune is such a fantastic little set, and I got this one CHEAP! I'm very happy... now I just need to find a matching Panasonic portable VCR.
RIP Sam Neill I must prepare a movie Marathon. Jurassic Park Event Horizon Memoirs of an Invisible Man Bicentennial Man In the Mouth of Madness The Hunt for Red October There's so much to watch.

JACKPOT! Local thrift had some excellent choices. Plenty of double features, Planet of the Apes collection, and a grip of Kiss, Crüe, and Leppard tapes... also Naked Lunch. $1.50 each was impossible to resist.
Started collecting CDs again. Haven't bought one since 2004 (my Chemical Romance, Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge) As if I didn't already have enough trouble finding places to store physical media 🙃
Cherish your physical media. Suits don't want you to own anything you pay for.
MAIL CALL! Got Tampopo this morning on Laserdisc. A comedic "Ramen Western" about food, sex, and life. RIP Juzo Itami.
Holy Fuck! Walt Goggins is in Shanghai Noon!?
Currently window shopping for a copy of Cannibal Holocaust on lasersisc. Not the most I've ever spent, but it's certainly not cheap.
Organized the Laserdisc collection. I will never have any business making fun of people who collect vinyl.
While searching for my childhood sick day TV, I found another CRT to add near the top of my wishlist. The Panasonic CT-101 1.5" portable color television.
Homegirl at the local thrift knows what I'm into and saves tapes and Laserdiscs for me.
On the drive home from feeding my sister's chickens, I happened upon this forlorn Magnavox RS1960, abandoned in a gravel turnout. I couldn't leave it there.
Found at the local thrift store for $1.50 As crazy as it sounds, I've never actually seen this movie with the English dub... and it's honestly not bad.
I was shopping for tapes at the Goodwill, and this super nice lady asked me if I actually watched movies on tape. I told her that I do, and she's giving me her whole collection. This is the first batch. She's just happy that they're going to someone who actually enjoys them.
I'm watching Spy Hard, and just noticed that Pat Morita plays a gay waiter in one of the scenes.
I happened upon this laserdisc copy of Cyclone Z (Dragons Forever) at Game Shop Downstairs in San Jose, CA. It's gonna be fun to watch a movie in Chinese with Japanese subtitles.
