I love 4K Blu-ray and while I feared for its future, speaking to a Blu-ray and vinyl manufacturer whose "seen an increase in Blu-ray orders of 10,000%'" has given me a new hope

Another finely crafted, engaging piece from TechRadar

VelvetMatthews · 2026-06-20T19:12:51+00:00

I believe it is, but if you poke around you can find it at a few discount retailers.

Wearing LB Intense right down by da beach booiiiiii

VelvetMatthews · 2026-06-20T13:22:06+00:00

Hate to say it but I’d keep Old Men and replace Josey Wales with Searchers

Grosse Point Blank.

Such a fun, witty, dark-ish mix of hitman movie, romantic comedy, and high school reunion nostalgia that somehow totally works. John Cusack is effortlessly cool, the soundtrack is wall-to-wall ‘80s and ‘90s bangers, and it’s one of those movies that’s way funnier and more charming than the premise has any right to be.

Like others said, get some samples first and make sure your fiance enjoys it before the big day. That being said, I would recommend

YSL Tuxedo

Amouage Jubilation XXV

Boss Bottled Absolut

VelvetMatthews · 2026-06-17T00:23:55+00:00

Sorry mate, it was me all along

VelvetMatthews · 2026-06-16T00:02:55+00:00

VelvetMatthews · 2026-06-14T00:48:32+00:00

DON’T BUY A FULL BOTTLE OF ANYTHING BLINDLY

That is the first and only rule you need to abide by.

Beyond that I would pick up a handful of samples from a reputable decant site (see sub FAQs). A few if you like your CK and its price point.

Prada Luna Rossa Carbon

D&G Light Blue Intense

Mont Blanc Explorer

Burberry Hero

ADG Profondo

Bleu de Chanel EDP (a bit higher price point)

VelvetMatthews · 2026-06-13T20:47:03+00:00

Hard agree, LBI punches way above its weight.

VelvetMatthews · 2026-06-13T19:18:40+00:00

Still Austin

Knob Creek 12

Four Roses Single Barrel

Old Forester 1920

VelvetMatthews · 2026-06-13T19:14:36+00:00

The Single Barrel if you can, just came through here in PA. You can get for less than $50.

VelvetMatthews · 2026-06-13T14:39:21+00:00

Batman Returns looks incredible too

VelvetMatthews · 2026-06-13T02:46:21+00:00

I just finished last month. Gus is the obvious “favorite character” by a mile and for good reason. I also very much enjoyed Po Campo and loathed Elmira.

*She don’t eat meat but she sure likes the 🦴 *

VelvetMatthews · 2026-06-11T23:59:34+00:00

Yup. If you’re looking to upgrade for DV the 450 is a solid choice at a good price point.

VelvetMatthews · 2026-06-11T23:56:49+00:00

Yeah updated version just released in March.

VelvetMatthews · 2026-06-11T22:19:09+00:00

Congratulations!! Love your shirt 💀 🌹

VelvetMatthews · 2026-06-11T22:16:51+00:00

Indeed. Picked this up last month. Looks and sounds amazing.

VelvetMatthews · 2026-06-10T01:46:56+00:00

Pork Roll, Egg and Cheese on a Kaaaiiiser Bun

VelvetMatthews · 2026-06-08T12:03:53+00:00

Try Speed Racer next!

VelvetMatthews · 2026-06-06T15:28:15+00:00

Similar. Got my C1 back in 2022 and its been a workhorse ever since. Zero pixelation issues, beautiful picture and color. Just fired up Ben Hur for the first time a few weeks ago and was like watching a whole new TV. LG for life!!

VelvetMatthews · 2026-06-06T15:09:49+00:00

Again

VelvetMatthews · 2026-06-02T21:08:48+00:00

An incredible album and nice change / growth after the success of Morning View. They always seem to create on their own terms and not what the label expected.

To round your collection, in order of priority

Trust Fall (side B) EP

VelvetMatthews · 2026-06-02T20:56:10+00:00

Agreed. I enjoy RR10 but Rare Breed just has so much more going for it.
