What film did you watch last night?

I have the Laserdiscs too. A big boxset of the originals and a hardback book about Lucasfilm. Definitive Collection i think it's called.

The widescreen definitive edition? That's what I have. People think I'm nutty for picking up old laserdisc players for spare parts, and then I show them films like the frighteners and get it a little more. The one I completely lose people on is my insistence of hoarding the betamax films I inherited from my uncle when he passed on.

Yes that's the one. Bought it about 20 years ago as well as a player and a lot of about 30 films. Indy Trilogy, T2 and Die Hard 3 were all sealed too.

I love the Frighteners, big MJF fan. My wife doesn't get my collection Laserdiscs lol. Oh I wish I still had my childhood Betamax collection(mostly recorded off TV) and my parents player. It died about 26 years ago. Was one of Sony's first front loading machines.

You know I don't think anyone does, but it's one of those things that as a lad I always dropped into HMV to just admire their Laserdisc display back in the day. The first decent paycheque I got went almost entirely on buying their clearance discs when the technology was getting shuttered and I haven't stopped since - I still love it, I still use it - I have a 40" plasma in my study that it's hooked up to and it really does look glorious.
 
The Batman - 8.5/10

Haven't seen this since the cinema, really enjoyed it even the second time through. Definitely the best film version of Gotham City. It's a bit too long and the plot has a few weaknesses but the cinematography and cast is great. All credit to Pattinson, I had my doubts about him but I think he portrays a Batman early in his career incredibly well. Now I need to see The Penguin.
