Your latest acquisition

[Lionel Hutz]

People still have VHS?

I still have more VHS tapes than DVD's. (about 4 to 1) I don't watch them very often, but they're a connection to my youth I can't part with
Just yesterday, I watched Police Squad! on tape.

[zach]

why you hating on vhs, joe?

[Jesse Pinkman]

I'm not, I just honestly didn't know people still used them. I figured people would either be on DVD or Blu-Ray, or whatever's 'hip' nowadays.

[Oh, that's raspberry!]

People are slow to change, in numerous ways.

[zach]

blu-rays

i want to watch tv on the worst quality tv possible.

There will always be a market for the cheap and nostalgic
I watch DVD's, but not enough time has past for me to bother with Blu-Ray yet.
VHS was around for a quarter of a century before it was overtaken by the DVD, and I can't be bothered updating everything again

[Jesse Pinkman]

I watch DVDs, and there are some VHS movies around, like Jeepers Creepers, but I never watch 'em.

[zach]

i wouldn't re-watch jeepers creepers on any format.

[Lionel Hutz]

i wouldn't re-watch jeepers creepers on any format.

I was thinking the exact same thing

[Jesse Pinkman]

I wasn't implying it was a good film, I was just saying it was one of the ones we had on VHS.

[zach]

yep.

[Lionel Hutz]

I wasn't implying it was a good film, I was just saying it was one of the ones we had on VHS.

I know, but you have to admit it was a pretty random choice.

[Jesse Pinkman]

It's one of the only films I remember having, honestly.

Oh wait, there was also a film called "Life, or Something Like it." That a better choice?

[speedmaster]

Picked these couple of hard to find comic books up on a comic book chat board. Both issues are signed by Bill Morrison... Love em!



I have a good friend in the US who hooks me up with a lot of cool comics. He's getting me the almost impossible signature of Matt Groening on a Krusty#1 graded comic at San Diego Comic Con in July. He's got Matt's signature the last 2 years at the con. It takes hours of waiting and HUGE dedication to get it as he can turn up at anytime and there are no arranged signings....

[Mozy]

Speedmaster, I am so jealous! I wish he could get me a comic signed by Matt Groening!

Maybe. I've never heard of it

[Jesse Pinkman]

some news reporter chick gets news from a psychic that she apparently only has one week to live and she tries to find out why and fix it or something. i never finished it.

[Lionel Hutz]

Interesting.^^

[akuronin]

back to the simpsons, the first vhs i bought about the simpsons contained : the springfield files, one of the clipshows and so non...

[Handsome B. Wonderful]

Speedmaster, I am so jealous! I wish he could get me a comic signed by Matt Groening!

If you have any Simpsons comic, they're all signed by him about five times.

[zach]

plus a few others simpsons past comics. they were just sitting there in some guy's boat.

[Handsome B. Wonderful]

they were just sitting there in some guy's boat.

I'm calling the authorities!

[zach]

I'm calling the authorities!

cool, i love those guys.

[Financial Panther]

I read Zombie Simpsons: How the Best Show Ever Became the Broadcasting Undead. It was an amazing book, and I'll probably read it again sometime.

[zach]

that "book" just frustrated me. couldn't get through it.

[Financial Panther]

Really? How so? I disagreed with a lot of the stuff he said, but I was still entertained throughout.

[Oh, that's raspberry!]

That's an actual book? I could never read that, I find the title aggravating I can only imagine how angry I'd get trying to get through it.

[zach]

it's not an actual physical in your hands copy. just text on the site and amazon.

Really? How so? I disagreed with a lot of the stuff he said, but I was still entertained throughout.

it seemed to be written well but i just found myself constantly disagreeing with the points. that got tiresome after a while. maybe i'll go back and try to finish it.

[Prune Tracy]

I'm not sure I could read a book that disses Marge Be Not Proud, especially for the reasons you gave in that other thread. "It tarnishes Bart's bad boy image"? Yes, because Bart's character is supposed to be completely emotionless and uncaring.

[Financial Panther]

The exact paragraph for that is:

"The episode is made all the more jarring by having Bart be the one who sinks into guilt and self-pity. Bart was America's bad boy, the underachiever who was proud of it. Here he acts like every sitcom kid since television began, haunted by something he did and crushed that his mother is disappointed in him. The Simpsons had never before handled emotion that clumsily."
