    You should start collecting VHS, that is the way the movies are meant to be watched! You can get some inspiration from the Victorville Film Archive (VFA).

          Funnily enough, they all have the correct orientation (look at the little logos at the bottom).
          I guess, there is just no proper standard in which orientation a movie title is printed on the box.

          Now that's mildly infuriating.

                Burn those disc to a drive. I have 7 seasons of Smallville that won't play due to disc rot. Had them forever. I am also collecting and creating a Jellyfin server. So far 165 movies and many tv shows.

                  Poor Things is so absolutely bizarre and Emma Stone was phenomenal in the role. Willem DeFoe was also at his weirdest here. It’s hard to recommend, just with the sheer amount of grotesque scenes, but anyone that I think will take to it, I recommend it.

                  I recommend that people first watch Swiss Army Man to dip their toe into the comedy they're about to absorb when they put on Poor Things.

                  ::: spoiler My bad synopsis of Poor Things
                  Edward Scissorshands with STIs and brain ghosts. And lots of "furious jumping."

                      Dream Scenario is fun and weird, I blind bought it so thankfully I enjoyed it.

                      Also liked Poor Things, haven’t seen the other Yorgos films besides The Lobster and recently Dogtooth. Curious about them though!

                      And I too enjoy collecting movies on disc. Though I’ve been at it for a while.

                              I used to collect them when DVDs first started coming out. After a while I didn't really have space anymore and I realized that I actually started to get tired of movies. I was buying DVDs and never watching them.
