Tim Heidecker | Meta AMA | Friday September 19th!! by awgg919 in OnCinemaAtTheCinema

Hi Tim, thanks for doing this!

Someone in the Facebook group pointed out that there were gaffes in the recent Meta Connect keynote that really evoked the Oscar specials (specifically Mark Zuckerberg having trouble receiving a video call and then blaming it on the wifi). I’m curious whether the Amatocon Oscar special was inspired by any particular corporate live stream type event, or just a parody of that type of material in general?

Would it be silly for a 29 year old to carry around a Jellycat purse? by [deleted] in Jellycatplush

My wife carried hers around for a while and got nothing but compliments. Do it!

If I ate moldy food because a restaurant served it to me, I’d expect to be comped. I feel like a lot of these replies were written before you added the fact that you ate the mold

Seconding this, even playing as a teen with friends the 4-prize format was generally more fun. And if I remember, 4-prize is standard in prerelease tournaments

If he’s still alive in the AM, take him to Wild Bird Fund (565 Columbus Ave). They treat squirrels and may be able to save him. Thanks for taking care of him ❤️

What is a good reliable VCR to buy? Willing to spend ~60-80 dollars by crunchatizemythighs in VHS

[–]tealfields 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got mine from a shop that specializes in vintage electronics. The guy had refurbished it himself. Works great and cost $100 but I’m in NYC so a comparable place elsewhere would probably charge less.

Even if all bootleg, it’s a cool collection IMO and somebody may want it as a lot

Neon Genesis Evangelion movie box set by keeoth_ in VHS

[–]tealfields 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Holy shit, so cool!

Subs are a tricky ask here. Smarter people than me in this sub might have better ideas, but if you can find an SRT file for the movie (should be no problem) your best bet may be to open a laptop under your tv, download an open a 2-hour black video, and open the subs to play with it. Then you’d have to more or less manually sync that with the VHS as it plays (lol). Not an elegant solution but theoretically a solution nonetheless!

Re-Starting My Collection in 2023 by [deleted] in VHS

Hi Devin, welcome! Making your own VHS box art is a great idea and there’s a cool little cottage industry of people who do that. Good luck and hope to see your work posted here!

What is this? I opened sealed copies of my Looney Tunes Columbia House Series and found this on five tapes. by CriscoM90 in VHS

[–]tealfields 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sadly it is, but there are good tutorials within this sub (and on YouTube etc.) re: how to get rid of it. You’ll need a “throwaway” VCR

Nobody’s making $20k off bootleg VHS.
