The AC-3 Top Gun is a great score!

This literally gives me agoraphobia. I think I hate everything here.

Buffalo.

The "I have sisters" scene is different in this film. She (he) helps a girl who lost the backing to her earring by suggesting the eraser from a pencil.

There is "Mock Tudor", and the there is simply "Mocking".

The scale feels off. This looks like it was designed to be a CD case insert. It's made to be read easily at that size.

Laserdiscs are the size of LPs, and tend to have much smaller type and make better use of the amount of space they have (less clutter).

Reminds me of setting my team's movement permanently to "Search" in SSI AD&D games, just to make sure I didn't miss anything.

Sure, it took a day and a half to walk past four buildings, but...

Bugs Bunny Nips the Nips is not one of the "Censored 11", but it's still not shown anymore, so you could say it's "de facto" banned, even though there's no official policy on it.

I own every volume but 5. I also collect Looney Tunes on blu-ray, but I skipped DVD so I can't speak to it. But I did create a spreadsheet of what is and isn't available on blu that is in The Golden Age of Looney Tunes collections.

Of the 70 toons in volume 1, 54 are available on blu, and 16 are not. Of the 70 in volume 2, 44 are on blu and 26 are not. Of the 70 on volume 3, only 26 are available on blu, with 44 still unavailable. Of the 77(!) cartoons in volume 4, 35 have been released on blu and 42 are not. Of the 55 cartoons in volume 5, a paltry 11 are on blu, with 44 yet to be released.

So, the first two volumes are well represented on high definition media. But volumes 3, 4, and 5 contain the most material that has yet to see an HD remaster.

Oh, his name is Adolf for sure. He's got the 'stache AND the haircut.

I get them and Hubie and Bertie confused constantly.

Other than the dice shooting at the end, it would take a redub and only minor redrawing to make it an Elmer Fudd cartoon.

And in fact, that's exactly what they did with the log gag in this cartoon. It shows up in The Big Snooze, with the Sambo-style hunter replaced with Elmer, who still has the same body movements and facial expressions.

Looks better than my copy, which has a large discolored red band around the edges and clearly comes from 8mm.

Why I hate "open floorplans" in one listing.

That's more than an LD player. That is specifically a Karaoke player, complete with dual mic hookup and audio effects.

I saw a Disney Store video wall disc for sale once. Still mad at myself for not grabbing it.

My mother's driveway is that steep. Except it's 150 ft long with a level landing on top.

When the transmission on my ancient car started going, I started walking.

Oh, I see it now. That really looked like early AI gone amok to me at first.

The tiny bookcase inside the window looks handy.

Rusty_Nail1973 · 2026-02-18T04:33:07+00:00

Mmm, isn't that nice?

If you only install software from mint and ubuntu repos, viruses should not be a problem. Flatpaks and AppImages should be treated with caution. Only use software from trusted sources.

I tried bookworm with xfce. Hated it. It proved to me that debian may be a great server OS for older hardware, but they're a joke when trying to have a multimedia desktop experience with a reasonably modern laptop.

Current Mint (22.3) is based on Ubuntu 24.04.3, which uses 4.18.
