More tweets in support of physical media

I’m a big believer in keeping DVDs, Blu-rays and CDs.

Physical media matters.

A word on the many reasons, practical and aesthetic and even political, why I'm holding onto physical media: https://t.co/wl7MPi2NQg

I can’t say it enough: almost nothing is streaming and if what you want to watch is available for purchase on a physical format, buy it because you don’t know when you’ll be able to see it again https://t.co/tweTCyNYHs

“The DVD gave audiences stable access to movies they love,” @loracorkelley writes. “For casual movie fans, our viewing world has officially narrowed.” https://t.co/yRwJYDpWOm

An interesting article from Variety talking about #PhysicalMedia, the huge sales of Oppenheimer, and why some stores (Best Buy) are dropping movies. If only we could get an Oppenheimer multiple times a year, or even monthly, it would drive big disc sales.https://t.co/qSKEkflYwZ

I saw Marcel the Shell with Shoes On

This is a very original stop-motion/live-actor hybrid. A24 did a great job with the Blu-ray package. The short films that were made before the feature are on YouTube and the disc.

This is the link to the script:

Ain’t in It for My Health: A Film About Levon Helm is on YouTube

It’s also on disc and well worth seeing.

My two favorite scenes from Pee Wee’s Big Adventure

You piss off a bar full of surly bikers by telling them to shut up so you can make a phone call and then knock over their motorcycles? If you’re Pee-wee Herman, the beloved man-child character created by Paul Reubens, you dance.https://t.co/C2yCY0jvjZ

RIP to the legendary Paul Reubens. This scene will never not be hilarious. pic.twitter.com/0Pmi9K6rWa

Great job by 3-D Archive on Robot Monster

Robot Monster (1953) is a low-budget science fiction film that is probably best known for being used in Mystery Science Theater 3000. The 3-D Film Archive did a great job restoring it in 3-D through a Kickstarter project. It’s now on Blu-ray disc. It’s not great art but it’s fun to watch.

I decorated a staircase with movie mylars

I was inspired by this picture I saw online. It was posted by the Twitter account @lovellyvibes. It looks like these are signs for books.

There are 14 steps to my basement. So far, I have had nine 5″ x 25″ movie mylars installed and will put up five more. They are held up with two-sided tape.

Tweet about 35 years of Bull Durham

Bull Durham is an excellent film. It’s much more than a baseball movie.

From @TheAthletic: The classic baseball movie “Bull Durham” celebrated its 35th anniversary on Thursday. Can anyone think of a good gift?

“I have a closet full of candlesticks,’’ said Ron Shelton, who wrote and directed the movie. https://t.co/TgyEgHH9lQ
— The New York Times (@nytimes) June 16, 2023

In the 1988 film "Bull Durham," the team's manager referred to his players as "lollygaggers."

To celebrate the movie's 35th anniversary, the modern-day Bulls will literally wear that reference as a badge of honor on Friday: https://t.co/9hiuY9jG41 pic.twitter.com/NPQrFT5kMm
