Music? Two CD Best of Queen.

Movie? Crazy Rich Asians

I tried to watch Crazy Rich Asians when it was on TV, and I recorded it on DVR, but I could not get past the obnoxious characters and deleted it last week after only watching about 15 or 20 minutes of it. I found the woman (who was someone's friend) with the bleached hair to be extremely annoying, and she pretty much ruined it for me. I also did not like the mother, who seemed to be the epitome of nouveau riche in the worst way.

Last DVD was in November: the John Sayles movie Matewan, which isn't available to stream. Last CD was in 2016: Pure McCartney, a 4-CD set of his best songs.

Well, since you asked, Estudio de Modelos (Model Shop).

A couple of months back we’d watched Laurel Canyon, a documentary about music in California back in the 1960s. Throughout the film they mentioned the movie Model Shop and said it was a good representation of what life in California was like during this time period.

I thought, what the heck and looked for a copy on Amazon, both here and in UK. The only copy I could find was a version released in Spain from Amazon.uk.. I bought it hoping it had the original English sound track. It did.

I've seen Model Shop, and I liked it a lot, partly because it allowed me to see how Los Angeles looked in 1968, which is the first time that I came here. I like I Love You Alice B. Toklas partly for the same reason, but Model Shop was particularly nostalgic for me.

Amazon appears to have a used DVD of this movie available now, but the DVD from Spain is less expensive.

I've bought German DVDs from Amazon.de of German movies, and they did not have English subtitles, even though I had seen some of them a film festivals in Hollywood with subtitles. I guess they thought it was too much trouble to put the subtitles on the DVDs. I can watch these movies and understand them, but my brother cannot, and so I have to watch them by myself.

DVD: Mary Poppins--from Good Will. Had to have a refresher after watching the sequel.

CD: Statler Brother's Christmas

Blue Ray--never. Last one I was given was WALL E same Christmas the player and the movie.

Not a movie, but my latest DVD purchase was the box set of Northern Exposure because that show is not availble for streaming. The last CD I purchased was the double Carpenters' Christmas album for my mother as she had worn her copy out completely.

Fleischman and O'Connell! What a great show that was.

Last movie was Love Actually, as someone "borrowed" mine and never returned. I watch that movie every single Christmas.

Last music was Mercy Me Inhale.

The next to last DVD purchase that I made was for the box set of Schitt's Creek, which we keep in Cathedral City. I've been recording episodes on DVR in L.A., and we have not watched all of those yet, but I am deleting them after we watch them. This is a show that I wanted to watch more than once. We have several sets of TV shows on DVD, including Monty Python and Absolutely Fabulous, but we've had those for a while and have watched them a couple of times already. There aren't all that many TV shows that I want to watch more than once, but there are a few, and I do collect some of them. Kevin bought the Barney Miller series.

I loved Crazy Rich Asians! I quote the line, " No one loves free stuff more than rich people." Clip to view I think it's so spot on!

Lars, Awkwafina is in Jumanji, The Next Level. I purchased that DVD too. I like her quirkiness.

CD: Pachelbel's Canon & other Baroque favorites

Movie: Dr. Strange

The last movie I bought was probably Elf, or maybe Love, Actually.

As for music, besides cds of the high school choir, I don't know! Probably Chapter 6, an a capella group after DS and I went to their concert about omg 15 years ago! Time flies. ask for them as gifts, though, and DS gave me Hamilton and, more recently, Hadestown.

BluRay of Almost Famous, used from Amazon. Wonderful movie to follow the Cameron Crowe arc from Fast Times at Ridgemont High and Say Anything.

The last movie was Suicide Squad and the last music CD was really a long time ago. Pink Floyd's 'Pulse' released and purchased in 1995! The pulsing light quit flashing some time back, I need to see if I can replace the battery and put it out where I can enjoy it.

What a fun memory you evoked, Lars!

My Brilliant Friend first season on dvd. It’s an HBO co-production with Italian producers. I can’t wait for the third season. I plan to buy all the dvds. For people who haven’t seen it, you will enjoy it!

I also rip CDs to my computer. Some then get put into my iTunes library, others don't. I can't recall when I last purchased a CD, though, or which one it was.

The last Blu-ray I purchased was Black Panther.

On CD, Andrea Bocelli, BELIEVE

Dedtired, I could not remember that far back (one year for the CD) without using Amazon's shopping history. I would rather shop in stores like Amoeba in Hollywood, which was always fun to go to, and I hope to start doing that again, once the pandemic is over. Unfortunately, it appears that Amoeba Music has moved from Sunset Blvd to Hollywood Blvd, and that is a definite bummer.

The last CD was about 2 years ago: the Broadway cast recording of Hamilton.

The last DVD was much more recently - about 6 months ago: A collection of some Doctor Who episodes (Tenth Doctor, Series 3 -- contains the awesome episode "Blink").

I don't remember the CD but I bought Bohemian Rhapsody and A Star Is Born at the same time.

Last CD was Pink Martini’s Christmas album.

I’ve never bought a DVD.

I think the last DVD I bought was a pre-owned copy of Independence Day a few years ago. I still haven't watched it. It joins the stacks of other unwatched movies. I like the idea of movies, but somehow never get around to watching them.

My most recent CD purchase was a few years ago too--an impulse buy at a library sale. I paid $1 for a collection of musical performances from the David Letterman show. It's in my car, and I actually like it a lot.

I have no idea wnat cd. The last dvd was a collection of Marvel movies from Disney Movie Club.

I am always checkìng thrift stores for music CDs. I have found some oldies but goodies. My sister has been collecting DVDs for many years. Every year she gets rid of some and sends them to our son, who doesn't want them. I donate them to a thrift store. We watch movies only once so don't want to buy them, but prefer to stream them.

"We watch movies only once so don't want to buy them, but prefer to stream them."

I was thinking about this when I saw the thread.......once I started streaming, I saw no reason for DVDs and got rid of most of mine - I kept a few because they were uncommon things that aren't often (ever?) available to stream. Then I bought a cottage in an area withoutinternet service, and so all my internet-ing is done on my cell service, toggling from my phone. That's enough to stream a YouTube video, but not much more in terms of video bandwidth and quality. Now I've started buying DVDs again ;) Mostly I look for sales of old ones that people are wanting to get rid of.

There are a lot of movies that I watch more than once, and my collection of DVDs mostly contains fairly old movies or foreign ones. I don't particularly like to stream movies, even though we have fiber optic cable in L.A. I'm more likely to stream in Cathedral City, where we have cable, but it's not as fast as the service we have in L.A.

One of the reasons I have not bought CDs recently is that there is very little new music that I like. Also, I've been buying single songs lately, but if I wanted an entire album, I would buy the CDs, as I did for Caro Emerald.

I was checking on new music that I've listened to lately and decided to buy Acts of Rebellion by Ela Minus. It turns out to be cheaper to buy the CD than the MP3 album, and I would prefer to have the physical disc.

I listen to most music as MP3s that I put on thumb drives, and then I can put the thumb drives into various players that I have, including DVD and Bluray players, as well as the sound system that we have for our TV in L.A. But I also have a boombox in the sewing room that plays CDs, and it does a better job with those than it does with the thumb drives.

Two of my most recent DVD purchases were movies that I’d last seen 30+ years ago. I was interested in watching them again but neither was available on any of my subscription services - Orphans (1987] with Albert Finney and Mathew Modine and The Day of the Locust (1975) with Donald Sutherland, Karen Black and Burgess Meredith. I’ve not seen either since their original release. I remember great acting in former and being a little confused about what the heck I’d just viewed in the latter.

Most times it seems that my remembered impressions are different when viewing them this much later. Every now and then I watch one that I think held up well over time.

We use our local libraries a lot for movies on DVD! Streaming is fine, but we kind of like the tactile-ness of going in to the library, but also DVDs often have added material, like deleted scenes, ”the making of”, commentary, interviews.

DH doesn’t watch movies over and over, but he will watch some again, usually after a few years’ hiatus. Me, I will watch a movie over and over, sometimes two or three times in a day. it’s a binge! Those are the ones I buy. There are only a few movies I do that with, though, and usually it is background to something else I am doing, like wrapping presents or cleaning something, background to keep one part of my brain busy without concentrating so the rest can take care of the task. If a movie is in some streaming service’s rotqtion, then I’m in luck. But there are a few I own so that it’s always on hand.

Then there are movies like Moonstruck, that we love so much we want to watch it whenever WE want to, not just when it is streaming, and not all that often.

Last movie? Never have. I would have to go back to VCR tapes, and it would be a children's movie - maybe The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Exercise DVDs, yes.

Last CD was a copy of Benny Goodman Live in Copenhagen that I found on A-zon last month. I have the record (since 1974 or so) but I don't have a record player now. Would have to go back over a year or more, to the CD before that. I mostly listen to the local public radio for music.

I finally thought of how to say it!!! Lars, watch the movie to its end. It's about bad A women. Knowing when to flex their power. When to let go. Being who they are. Unashamedly. That's why I love it.
