is a cunt.
Remember VHS tapes? Remember the biggest inconvenience of getting a rental movie was having to rewind the tape because the previous cunt didn’t bother? After that, it was press Play and after a few moments your movie would start. Yes, the picture quality wasn’t always the best. Yes, you might have to dick around with the tracking control to get rid of the black and white bands of picture interference. But you didn’t have to wait long before the opening credits were rolling and you could enjoy the show.
Fast forward (see what I did there?) to today and we have big screen hi-def TVs, multi-channel surround sound systems and hi-def digital discs of your favourite movies. You’ve paid good money for a movie, it’s spinning up in the disc player and you’re moments away from immersing yourself in a visual and audible feast.
Not so fast.
Fucking trailer of another film you’re not interested in. So you’ve basically paid to be advertised to, thus wasting your time and money. Oh wait, the player won’t skip past it either because the main menu option is temporarily disabled on the remote. Bastards! Use fast forward, that’ll fix ’em. Oh wait, another trailer. And another. And another. Finally you get past that crap. Time for the movie you actually paid for? Nope.
A full screen of stills and action sequences from the movie and somewhere buried in there is the option to actually start the movie. Finally, we’re off, right? Nope.
Full screen whine about piracy not being a victimless crime. Yeah, I know. I paid for the fucking disc so can I watch my movie now, please? Nope. Next we get a screen telling us the views and opinions expressed on the disc do not necessarily represent those of the studio who released the film. Really? I honestly thought Liam Neeson was the official spokesperson for Sony Pictures. Do fuck off.
Movie time now? Nope. Next it’s an announcement from Interpol about copyright theft. And you can’t skip that either. Just to make sure you’re even more irritated, the same fucking message comes up next in French, FFS! Can I watch the movie now? Nope.
Full screen telling me the movie’s rating. I don’t care.
Next, full screen telling me it’s a Universal Pictures release. I don’t care.
Next, it’s some animated graphic about the production company. I don’t care.
Next, it’s some logo bollocks about the distribution company. I don’t care.
Next, I’m told it’s a Steven Spielberg movie. I don’t care.
Next, I’m informed who the producer is. I don’t care.
Next, I’m told who the producer worked in association with. I don’t care.
On and on this goes.
I’ve actually timed this on some discs and if you sat through all this crap, it’ll be 15+ minutes before you actually see the first frames of the movie you paid for. That’s pathetic, very annoying and an absolute cunt.

And that’s not counting the amount of time that it takes the valves on your black and white television set to warm up.
Blueray?…. DVD?
Buy a Firestick and put on one of the many film apps
If there is any bumf before one of the millions of available films starts running then skip the bollocks with your remote (a hand held device which cancels the need to get up and press buttons on a machine).
I remember that it took forever to rewind a VHS tape, but that was a century ago.
Good morning!

I could say the same for Amazon fire stick.
I recall the old days when you had to get the old CRT warmed up before!
Now its a blue circle and a “LOADING” message, ok in reality the programs are not timed and on demand, but as on demand suggests, I want it now and not the next 5 mins.
( shit for someone that rarely drives over 50mph I am an impatient cunt)

Get a vpn, get a fire stick, pay someone 80 pound a year and have access to every channel and streaming service.
Watch sky sports and chuckle, knowing you are not contributing one penny to that socialist cunt gary nevilles salary.

Jamie Carragher is an industrial strength cunt of biblical proportions. Not because he’s a scouser and not because he played for the team whose supporters go around murdering Juventus fans. Although he’d easily qualify as a massive cunt on that basis alone.
He’s a cunt because he spat at a young girl whose father was dishing out some banter following Liverpool losing to Manchester United. Sky Sports didn’t sack him and he still writes for The Daily Telegraph. How is that possible? How was that cunt not cancelled and ostracised as a result of his disgusting behaviour? It was assault, plain and simple and he got away with it. How? Just how?
What does he know or what dirt does he have to have avoided any meaningful consequences of his actions? I know this isn’t new news, but it doesn’t change the fact he’s a despicable human being.

Further to above replies, if you want 4k downloads rather than streaming, get Tor browser, get qbittorrent to download and use either yts.lt or snowfl.com to obtain the links…it’s easy peasy and I’ve been doing it for a decade plus. There’s pretty much nothing that can’t be obtained with a couple of clicks.

Fuck me, there are a lot of digital savvy pirates on this forum.
I am still struggling with that age verification business, wife has caught me on the computer with my passport twice so far, so we have two nice holidays booked 😢

Youtube is your friend.

Tor browser seconded, mainly for bypassing the ID requirements on porn sites 😉

I can’t be doing with all this technology bollocks.
I just get a bank loan and go to the cinema.

Also to the above,a bloke down the pub told me that if your TV has the Play store built in then the film and sports streaming apps can be directly installed onto the TV itself.
Apparently there are many tutorials online about how to do it.
I suppose many millions of normal people have got fucking sick of adverts,wôgs in everything and having their pants pulled down on a monthly basis by the likes of Sky and Virgín.
Good morning.

However in the era of being able to stream everything and download romantic films that would make Mary Whitehouse shit herself it can make a chap look back with nostalgia to the era of the porn video,never quite knowing “what you were going to get” when you set it going,if the picture quality was watchable and if the VCR was going to chew the tape up.
On the other hand,fuck that.

That brings back memories of a work colleague who wanted to borrow a ‘snuggle film’ on VHS for a romantic night in with his new girlfriend.
I lent him ‘Animal Farm’.

W°GS on everything.
Couldn’t have put it better myself..!

Excellent cunting.
However, when the film is one starring Tom Hanks I prefer the trailers and copyright messages. Much more interesting, even in fucking Polski. ‘Cast Away’, anyone? ‘The Terminal’? ‘The Da Vinci Code’? Fucking ‘Forest Gump’? You get my drift. Oh, and don’t get me started on dear, dear, Benny Cummebund, or that boring bastard Hugh Bonneville. Fuck that.
Good morning everyone.

Dunno if that’s why Feldman now looks like the reincarnation of Mickey Jackson?

I only remember the future, when everything was LIVE. No blacks, no yanks and no adverts. All quiet and simple, besides they gave you a rest in the afternoon from the television set when nothing was broadcast. On other days you went out into the fresh air for a walks without being disturbed.
10
I would be happy to wait 15 minutes to have a go on Rachel Bilson
I think I will stick with Netflix, there are ads but not that many, I have to confess that I watched the first part of the Mrs Beckham documentary and may watch the second part….
I must be getting that old cunts disease 😉

Anyone got CB Hustlers or Beneath the valley of the ultra vixens on VHS, asking for a friend.

Oh yes DC.
Kitten Natividad in the Ultra Vixens!
She is well worth watching.
Huge tits but unfortunately a un trimmed minge which was acceptable at that time.
She is still doing porn but has not aged well.

To be honest, when the wife is out and I stick one of my special interest DVDs into the player,. I rarely last past the adverts before the main feature.

What I like about this nom, is the terminology, Correct use of the word FILM!
Not fucking movie 😒😒
Movie comes from the terminology “Moving pictures”, abbreviated too “Movie” by a certain nation, at that time someone would play away on an organ too give you the excitement.
Next came the “Talkies” films (or moving pictures) with sound tracks.
why the fuck “Movies” has been adopted by the UK is beyond me, if my wife wanted to see a movie I would hit mute and bring up the subtitles and try an accompany the film with a recorder!
Likewise fucking seasons! seasons are changes in the year not a catalogue of drama.
7
Thanks Lord benny for letting this be known. I’m fed up with having to tell people individually the correct terms relating to cinema. The hamshanks who are to blame, should begin interpreting their own language before ruining ours.

Thnks for the info milord, just confirms what most of us have suspected for a long time. Utterly sick of it. Fascinating watching Bbc flapping undecidedly about who or what side they are on.
Blue Ray dvd wotsits? Glad I’m a Luddite and still read books.

I have over a thousand films copied on to discs from whence being a member of FilmFour, before they went free to air. Most are foreign language films and British. The beauty of watching them is allowing a moment of blank screen before the film begins and also after the end credits are finished.

I would also like to add that all the foreign language films are subtitled with our own colloquial English

When you buy a DVD from Boggs Pornographic Film Productions (Taiwan) Ltd, you do not get a long trailer. It opens with our trademark – Emily Thornberry’s enormous orbs, bedecked with red nipple tassels and a card which says Bill Boggs Presents…… Then you are straight into your film. Speaking of that lovely lady watch out for this spring’s blockbuster release The Emily Thornberry Story. It starts with Pathe’ newsreel from VJ night, which was the day her career started at the Steaming Pussycat Stripyease Club – it was even shot in colour. We then go through the golden years – the 1950s and her first sexploitation film – Appointment in Lisle Street, where she plays a young working girl, through the sixties when she was billed as the new Diana Dors, the 1970s and 80s deals with her battle with the bottle and the calories, and ends up with her latest nudie epic – a lesbian duo with Jess Phillips. Emmy is a wonderful actress. Before she discovered the joys of sex she played Nancy in a wartime production of Oliver. Her many fans will be delighted to know she will be appearing in the 2026 version – as Fagin.

Waiting to see a film at the pictures has always been a cunt too, with all those trailers & ads. Only decent thing to come out of all of that was the iconic Pearl & Dean ‘Asteroid.’ A short clip that is still used today as a phone ringtone.

I always found it easier to pause Sharon Stone’s minge shot in Basic Instinct on VHS tape than on Blu Ray. On Blu Ray you have to have the finesse and reactions of a Top Gun Fighter Pilot to freeze the growler shot. If you do get lucky, the black info bar at the bottom of the screen won’t fuck off so it covers her quim. Bring back VHS is what I say.
6
Couldn’t agree more.
Going through my James Bond collection, each Blu-Ray has this ridiculous ages long blurb about all the other Bond films. All that Daniel Craig shite (which I have no time for).
5
At my local video hire store called Videopix, back in the early 1980’s, I remember a new release James Bond film coming out on said VHS cassette. You could hire for the night or buy outright from here, but the price of this one, to keep was a staggering £75 at the time. No wonder pirate versions became commonplace. Not always great though, as far as the filming & sound reproduction went.
1
Whatever happened to Blockbusters anyway? Seems they had a pop up store in Soho last year, that only lasted for hours. Other that that they have a retro store in Bend, Oregon USAof all places, so a bit too far to enjoy an overnight film, although only on DVD, it will not require winding back.
3
It was never the same after Bob Holness left..
5
Jeez, it’s 43 years thereabouts since Holness first presented Blockbusters and 31 years or so since his last appearance on the show. It’s also just gone 14 years since he died. Where does time go? Thanks for nothing Barry for making me feel old.

When he wanted a P, there was always a Q, which really hexed him.

A friend of mine from Holland has sent me a shitload of DVDs. 28 to be exact. It’s all rare and hard to find 60s music footage. Broadcast on Dutch cable station 192tv. No BBC editing nonsense or ‘TOTP2’ style interruptions and no gobshite voice overs. Just loads of complete songs and artists, Hendrix, Floyd, Stones, Walker Brothers, Byrds, Beach Boys and all kinds of others. A lot of memories in there. Don Partridge singing ‘Rosie’ is something I’ve not seen in decades. This is also another one …

DVDs from Holland eh Norman?
Snap!
I used to do the same thirty years ago after some nice people sent me a catalogue of very exciting entertainment for Gentlemen.
Alas I think the security services got wind of it and stopped my “deliveries”.
The meddling cunts.
Your health sir.

I’ve always thought that all the stuff it shows you before a film starts ought to be shown after in the end credits. A film should show the title and then start. All the info about the cast, the director, the writer. crew, musicians, sponsors etc should come after and then you can please yourself whether to read it or not.
5
Cheers, Tez.🍷👍
As I collect TV from the 1960s and 70s, the 192 stuff is great. I’ve not even scratched the surface of it, and it covers almost every band and singer from the decade from TV clips and promo films from all across Europe, including some stuff the BBC wiped. I have a list of all that’s on them, but it’s about eight A4 pages long. .

Some excellent and funny posts from many cunters.
Lots of references to streaming films. Yep, I get that. The problem there is availability and content. A film or TV programme you want to watch might not be on the streaming service you subscribe to. And if it is, unless you’ve seen it before how do you know it hasn’t been edited for content?
As annoying as some discs are, at least you have complete control over what you watch and when you watch it and without needing an internet connection. Downloading stuff from the interweb works for some and that’s fine. I admit I’ve tried that route, but the security software on my PC went mental. I wussed out and decided not to risk it. Buying a legit disc for $9.99 versus spending a whole weekend or more running security scans, deleting viruses, reinstalling software that’s been corrupted, trying to figure out why the operating system won’t boot up, etc. etc. etc. No thanks.
I have noticed another annoyance. I’m currently working my way through Star Trek (original and best) on Blu-ray. First series was fine, no problems. I’m onto the second series now and the fucking player isn’t remembering where I left off part way through an episode. Every time I power up the bastard, it’s like I’m putting the disc in for the first time. So I have to spend god knows how long waiting for the menu to come up, then select the episode I was on, then fast forward trying to find the scene where I hit pause last time. The first series discs were fine. They carried on from where I left off. So the player is OK, it must be something about the discs which is preventing the player from carrying on from a previous pause. That’s a cunt.
Just picked up a DVD boxset of the 60s/70s TV series Callan. I bet that’s hard to find on your average streaming service.
8
Evening IY, never watched Star Trek but I do watch the Critical Drinker on YouTube and his verdict on the Star Trek: Starfleet Academy series is scathing, not that you will be watching I trust. I like physical media too, streaming has its place but not for me.
Never mind Callan try Sons and Daughters, obscure 1980’s Australian soap…not for me mind, the old dear for Christmas.
1
Evening and gracious greetings to you, LL.
I’m an original Trek bigot. If it ain’t got Kirk, Spock, Bones and Scottie it ain’t Trek. End of. Plus Patrick Stewart is a cunt. “Make it so, number 1”. What a lot of old shite. Set phasers to kill for that bald bastard.
I’ve never seen Callan before, but it stars Edward Woodward who is ace and it comes from an era of great telly. I think it’s a bit ‘tinker tailor soldier spy’ ish, so I’m bound to love it. Hope so. Got it super cheap. $15 for a 6 disc set.
Sons and Daughters. Wow! That’s a blast from the past. I remember when being off school I’d watch whatever was on telly throughout the day. Take The High Road, Crown Court (very scary at the time), A Country Practice, the darts, the snooker…..thems the days. 3 channels and always something on worth watching.
1
I have the Callan DVD sets, released by the excellent but now defunct Network DVD.
I have many other Network restorations. Like The Prisoner, Space 1999, Robin of Sherwood, The Professionals, Please Sir, Budgie, Tales of the Unexpected, Thriller, Armchair Theatre and even The Kenny Everett Video Show.
Their DVD/Blu-Ray/Book set of The Prisoner was superb. Patrick McGoohan himself highly praised the job they did on it.
I am also a Trek purist. It has to be Jim, Spock, Scotty, Bones and the gang. Every other version is crap.
1
Crown Court was great. A lot of Granada/Coronation Street faces in it.
The end theme, Distant Hills by the Simon Park Orchestra, was also wonderful.

Ay up IY,
I use an old PC running windows 7, no virus protection and do not use it for anything other than downloading and storing music,vids etc.
Plus chess titans, I like a game of chess..
Never had a virus, Trojan or anything. Probably because it’s not worth hacking.
If it did get infected, just do a factory reset.

You’re a smart cookie, Dr. Syn. I’ve read elsewhere that your approach (old PC w/ old Windows) is a legit way to staying under the radar. If it works for you, go for it.
I got guilted into the Windows upgrade bullshit I’m afraid. Windows 10 reached end-of-life a little while ago, so I shelled out for a new laptop with Windows 11. As per fucking usual, you have to spend ages turning off this and that to stop it from spying on you. Things don’t work the same as in Windows 10 either, so you spend more and more time and effort changing things. And why? Because Microsoft are absolute cunts. And liars.
I’m close to retiring and have decided I’ve bought my last version of Windows. I’m keeping what I’ve got from this point forward, Windows 12 onwards be damned. I work in IT and even I can’t be bothered with this crap anymore.

The 70s BBC cop series, Target was a great show.
Starring Patrick Mower and Brendan Price, it is now considered too dark, too violent and too un-PC for the Beeb to repeat or release it. I don’t think that t will never come out officially.
Good job I have an ace quality DVD of it.
