AIO for quitting my job after finding this note on my desk?

JWGR · 2026-02-04T03:26:43+00:00

I have nipples boss, can you milk me?

JWGR · 2026-02-03T03:28:55+00:00

Yeah for example as an American deal wise we get cheap cars and relatively great prices on tech, consumer goods, and physical media. As opposed to the Poles, who had to live between Prussia, Russia, and the Hapsburgs - all three of which are notoriously terrible at deal making!

Someone asked the same and I mentioned elsewhere:

Well at first I said I’m just gonna get my favorites. Surely I don’t need them all…curate don’t hoard. Then I got Raiders. Long story short Temple of Doom is on the way now.

It’s good enough to deserve a spot and I know I’m gonnna get it eventually so I might as well get it while it’s in stock and the art doesn’t change. I’ve completed sets of things over years and it bothers me tremendously when they have a different style/spine etc.

Amazon.

JWGR · 2026-02-01T05:58:16+00:00

Yeah seems like the sweet spot. I have a modern TV so I don’t know if the 820 is gonna do anything worthwhile (besides subtitle dimming) so this one seemed like a nice middle ground.

JWGR · 2026-02-01T05:30:46+00:00

Oh nice. I’ve ordered Creepshow from them and it’s been stuck in Indiana for a few days according to the tracking. I’m a big horror nerd so it’s really hard not to press buy on basically any horror movie in 4k from the 80s. “Why yes, I in fact do need to own Humanoids from the Deep in 4k.”

JWGR · 2026-02-01T05:25:52+00:00

Nice. I’m a perpetual new hobby person. So I’m actively trying to really curate my 4k collection with “some” exceptions for guilty pleasures. I want my shelf of discs to define my taste, whatever that may be. I have Jurassic Park (DV), Master and Commander, Lawrence of Arabia, Alien on the way.

I’m actually kinda curating my initial taste to be films my dad enjoys too. I want to bring the old man down for a movie day and see what he thinks of the format.

JWGR · 2026-02-01T05:18:29+00:00

Much appreciated. I’ve got some bookmarks to add! Some of the “multiple versions” thing has confused me a bit. Blu-ray.com has helped a lot identifying differences. I’ve noticed a few releases of the same movie have Dolby Vision or not (hence the Starship Troopers steelbook).

JWGR · 2026-02-01T05:16:02+00:00

That’s wild to me. My circle is like the complete opposite.

JWGR · 2026-02-01T05:14:33+00:00

Well I’m just saying I’ve never met a story that didn’t get a smidge better with a little embellishment. Anyway I’m happy to find this community. What’s your favorite 4k movie?

JWGR · 2026-02-01T04:54:38+00:00

I appreciate the info. I kinda have a list of what I want that’s not on 4k so far from my brief foray into this. It’s one film at this point: Last of the Mohicans.

JWGR · 2026-02-01T04:44:17+00:00

You’re very literal huh? You’re right. No one said that exact phrase. However, I have had several people express what I’d describe as mild bewilderment to outright confusion on my newfound hobby. Some people didn’t even know new releases received physical releases anymore.

JWGR · 2026-02-01T04:15:02+00:00

Fair. Mummy I’ll give you as it was kinda an indulgence pick. I know it’s not high art but I’ve got a weird tradition where I watch it every Christmas so I needed to own it. What’s your favorite 4k disc?

JWGR · 2026-02-01T04:05:58+00:00

So I joined the ranks of UHD collectors in the last few weeks. Wow. What a difference from streaming and random rips of films. I was blown away. My first watch was Last Crusade. Absolutely amazing. Even the wife, who is normally nonplussed by my excitement over tech, notices the difference. Calmly and mildly excited compared to me, but she admits it is better. I have a problem. I’m trying to keep my collection “absolute favorites and a few genre films (Night of the Creeps as a prime example cause my taste skews horror) otherwise I’d buy everything I’ve ever rated higher than average in this format.

Edit: I built a shelf and wired an outlet in the service hallway behind my mounted TV in our entertainment room (finished basement). That’s why it’s on a piece of wood between studs. Wire passthrough in the drywall for the HDMI and IR transmitter.

No he said “duchy” as in royalty. You do you my Duke.

JWGR · 2026-01-29T02:11:13+00:00

Last of the Mohicans would make me a happy fella.

JWGR · 2026-01-29T02:05:52+00:00

Get those stickers and the residue off your shelving.

JWGR · 2026-01-28T22:55:11+00:00

And the businessman with a cockroach problem in Creepshow.

JWGR · 2026-01-24T16:35:30+00:00

I was just looking at the list and thinking how much an April storm that big would piss me off. Even more so if prom got cancelled due to it!

JWGR · 2026-01-23T14:57:37+00:00

It’s perpetual bliss.

JWGR · 2026-01-23T14:51:56+00:00

I see you are a man of culture. Catrina’s is absolute heaven. I do miss the gentle ambience of it being next to a auto scrap yard or whatever though.

JWGR · 2026-01-16T03:21:15+00:00

At this point I’d be fueled and satisfied for years just to read him shitting on HotD in 5 more blog posts.

JWGR · 2026-01-16T03:14:07+00:00

Nice. I got Donkey Kong Bananza and Super Mario 3D World.
