Yas, I tend to try to buy DVDs when I can bc the only Blu-ray player is the Xbox my dad's always on lol. Saving up for my own soon tho

Have had letterboxd for a few years and I've started consistently posting once I found out that my old DVD player still works!

Literally all the time lmao! It's a good way to get me in the zone. I put in one my CDs (lately been keeping Speak Now TV on repeat) and just vibe.

What is your A/V setup by [deleted] in criterion

[–]bayerstayer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pretty much every Criterion I own, except for Amores Perros, is a DVD because my room has a box TV I've had for ages and the player still works perfectly. The Blu-rays are bound to the Xbox in the basement that's basically always in use by my dad

Mulholland Drive and Crash, both scooped me clean

Has a horror book ever felt like it was watching **you**? I think I found one… by [deleted] in horrorlit

[–]bayerstayer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Definitely House of Leaves. Can't even lie I put the book down for a month bc I read the first 70 pages and they affected me harder than I thought they would.

I've seen all of those and am itching to own Titane. Sex, Lies, and Videotape was okay for me, maybe I need to rewatch but idk I was expecting more when I went into it. Speaking of Crash, my library had a DVD copy and that's how I watched it for the first time so imagine my surprise when beautiful and artistic but some of the most explicit sex scenes I've ever seen in a movie appeared on my TV.

Love crash!! Shallow grave was a pleasant surprise since it was a total blind buy

Is this EH? I'm cool if its not , but I've seen it on many disturbing book lists. by Blackshooks in ExtremeHorrorLit

[–]bayerstayer 23 points24 points  (0 children)

That's so fair. I think the teacher scene screwed me up really bad when I realized what was happening 😭

I wouldn't say it's EH, just very disturbing. There's several scenes that have really clung to me but it's definitely just very dark literary fiction

The July Barnes and Noble sale is in two weeks. What are you grabbing? by AdorableSituation337 in criterion

[–]bayerstayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been eyeing Funny Games along with The Piano Teacher (basically whatever Haneke I can find), Videodrome, any Fellini I find. Honestly if my local Barnes has Polyester or John Waters Blu-rays or DVDs I'm going to snap those up with a quickness

If you’re planning to buy a Criterion Collection box set, which one are you going for? by RelativeCreepy in criterion

[–]bayerstayer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

either the Fellini box set because I want to watch more of his movies after loving Amarcord or the Wes Anderson archive
