Pish... You can keep your VHS and Betamax. Laser discs are where it's at. Remember them? I do... Just. Remember seeing them in rich folks houses anyway. Never watched one myself.

You're right about the music @Bleaney streaming has devalued it big time. With minimal payout to the musicians. I like CDs, good 16 bit quality sound. Even if it is all digitised. I see tapes are making a comeback in some scenes too.

Worth having the CDs and DVDs though. When the Internet finally breaks down there's gonna be some bored folk out there wishing they hadn't sold all their media to music magpie etc.

Laserdiscs broke my faith in consumer capitalism. I fukkin yearned for one of those bad boys. Couldn’t afford one cos I was still in my mid-teens. Within a couple years it’s a dead format. Lesson learned :!

One media format that was great, especially among musicians, was the minidisc.

They were great so they were. Got a mint player in its box, still...

One of them in your pocket and an aux cable and you could easily make or ruin any party you were at!

But now many people are choosing to rent access to music, on subscription based streaming services like Spotify etc. This must be the worst option ever! Everything favours the corporations and businesses these days, certainly not the customers. I hope this is the shortest lived phase!

We'd probably be better off all going back to vinyl LPs, if only the stores would stop charging lunatic prices for new vinyl LPs these days.

Too damn right, a guy tried to sell me a nirvana vinyl which is the "All Apologies" single with the B-side Moist Vagina, he wanted £250, I think he has been smoking Nyaope to come up with that price.

Anyone on here ever been Cwmdu in Wales or Llandeilo also in Wales?
@Shambles @Bleaney @BadBoy377 @steewith2ees @Perkins : Reborn

EDIT - Also Carmarthenshire, South-West Wales is VERY IMPORTANT btw, if ANYONE ever been there let me know what you made of it please.

The saying of "The apple doesn't fall far from the Tree" is very fitting it seems.

I have been to Llandrindrod Wells which is about 40 miles away I think. Nice around there, quiet, the 20mph speed limits take the piss though.

20mph speed limits

Wales introduced a default 20 mph speed limit on most restricted (residential and built-up) roads on September 17, 2023. While this made Wales the first UK nation to adopt a 20 mph default, it is not a "blanket" limit; many, but not all, 30 mph roads were affected, and councils are currently reviewing and reverting some roads back to 30 mph.
Key details regarding the 20 mph limit in Wales include:
  • Targeted Areas: The 20 mph limit applies to restricted roads, which are typically defined by the presence of street lighting and proximity to residential areas or schools.
  • Exceptions: Local authorities have the power to exempt certain roads, keeping them at 30 mph.

I'd hazard a guess that a large proportion of people that claim antidepressants work for them, would be the same proportion if you gave them sugar pills. Some people just need to feel like they've been given "something" that'll make them feel different, a placebo.

I got so emotionally involved and invested in that film, that I was literally wracked by a convulsive sobbing fit at the end, the first time I watched it, when all the separate strands of the movie came together with such tragic conclusions. That poor old lady! And that music!! Oh My God!! So fucking powerful! That is the only time in my life that I've ever sobbed like that!

I have never been so moved by any film before or after. An absolute masterpiece. Yes it is grim, but completely gripping. :love:

I've tried watching some other films directed by Aronofsky, but they did not do a lot for me. They bore no resemblance to Requiem...Unlike films by say David Cronenberg, where I love his recognisable and distinctive style, and all of his films did a lot for me.

Jared Leto and Jennifer Connelly were amazing in their roles.

Jared Leto was also brilliant in Dallas Buyers Club, another brilliant and deeply moving film. Matthew McConaughey totally 'stole the show' in the lead role though.

From Wikepedia
  • Matthew McConaughey as Ron Woodroof, a real-life person with AIDS who smuggled unapproved pharmaceutical drugs into Texas when he found them effective at improving his symptoms. In an interview with CBS News' Lee Cowan in February 2014, McConaughey said that he selected the role because he thought it was not just a normal story, but it was a story of a "wild man". McConaughey was raised near Dallas, so he was very familiar with the culture. Additionally, he thought that the script was "incredibly human, with no sentimentality". McConaughey lost nearly 50 pounds (23 kg) of body weight to play Woodroof in the film.
  • Jared Leto as Rayon,a fictional trans woman with AIDS who helps Woodroof. To accurately portray his role, Leto lost 30 pounds (13 kilograms), shaved his eyebrows, and waxed his entire body. He stated the portrayal was grounded in his meeting transgender people while researching the role. He stated that when he moved to Los Angeles in 1991, he had a roommate who died of AIDS. He "[worked] on Rayon's voice for weeks" and refused to break character during filming; director Vallée stated, "I don't know Leto. Jared never showed me Jared."
