#I bought the fucking DVD! THIS IS MY FUCKING DVD!

I was baffled that I didn’t remember this. Then realised it was season 2. You see, one Christmas my friends went together and bought me a box set (just that one season. It was so fucking expensive).
But it was still early in the DVD era.
‘What would you like?’ they asked me. ‘DVD or VHS?’
‘VHS! I said. Like an idiot.
And then it was there in my hands. I tried to watch an episode and went, ‘oh’. Of course, I had to use fast forward to get to the one I wanted on the tape. And then do it over and over again, backwards, forwards, overshooting occasionally. Something I had done many a time as a child of the 90’s. But the spoils that DVD’s had brought to us all had already changed me irrevocably.
So anyway it makes a good doorstop.
(actually it doesn’t. Video tapes are light as shit. It has no use at all.)
I’d forgotten there was a koko the talking gorilla episode of x-files…it really was the nineties back in the nineties

We are living in fucking hell.
#DO NOTT DISPLAY ADS OVER MY MAIN MENU SCREEN!#I bought the fucking DVD! THIS IS MY FUCKING DVD!#The only commercials I want on my DVD are the ones that came on the DVD!!!!#Brother I always have my tv muted. This is supposed to detect when your tv is muted or on a static screen.#Aka like a main menu on a DVD.#It is comforting to see the main menu screen on my tv. I like having my tv muted and on the main menu screen.#WHAT I DON'T LIKE IS AN UNWANTED COMMERCIAL!#So pissed off that they don't sell good old fashioned box tvs anymore.#I only want that. Instead I have this stupid fucking smart tv with smart cable now. Bullshit.#I hate it here.

Piracy discourse is always so incredibly funny to me as someone who learned to pirate almost instantly upon starting using the Internet. Well, okay, maybe a couple years later. At most.
'Well I don't want to support this service but how will I watch my favorite show without a subscription' Torrents go brrrrrrr I dunno what to say to ya
#I mean unless you WANT to give your money to someone. like with indie devs or musicians or book authors. That's an ACTION.#I do buy my fav's singer merch and CDs 'cause she's in shit with the government agenda rn so woman can definitely use some money lol#...also some games but that's mostly 'cause I can't be arsed to keep up with the fucking patches.#honestly the culture around pirating is very different when you don't live where the action is#not only did I not have money as a kid but also a lot of stuff just wasn't being sold#(a lot of stuff STILL isn't being sold).#and a lot of what WAS being sold was a pirated version ripped onto a CD/DVD#(raise your hand if you ever bought a VHS only to realize it's a screen recording from a cinema with people walking on the bottom)#oooh and buying a game at shady kiosk only to get someone's modded build.#'sims 2 twilight' types of 'games' that are actually sims 2 with stolen mods#I was raised on bootlegs I do NOT speak your language if you're complaining#speaking of which I need to find time to burn more CDs.

#GUYS#i watched the second to last ep of sentinel and it was alright yeayea#BUT! im running out of the product right? so im panicking im reading the wiki im reading about the producers#im reading old archive links on blogposts about dvd cover art releases. you know the drill#and so i start thinking about getting those dvd sets again right?#so i figure out its visual entertainment incorporated (VEI) who like produced the dvds and stuff#and i go to their website and yeah of course they dont have em anymore the shows a relic!#so i go to wayback machine to see if they happened to have it before#AND. THEY HAD IT#FOR FIFTEEN UNITED STATES DOLLARS#IN FUCKING. TWENTY TWENTY TWO#TWO YEARS AGO#I CPULD HAVE GOTTEN THEM FOR 15 BUCKS??????#inanse. i have nobody to talk about this to#and like sure probably they dont even deliver to finland and i guess they couldve been sold out even back then#(probably not tho since why wouldnt the wayback machine show that?? also that 15$ was an on-sale-price already)#but i cant believe it.... two years ago... i couldve just gone and bought it.....#my post#hey guys im losing my mind a bit#also did you know apparently the dvds dont have a ton of extra material (although apparently the full set was released in 2015?#so maybe that release had more) but theres three episdoe commentaries by the producers?#i dont think ill listen to them but who knows how desperate i get!#now i just gotta gather courage to watch the finale#and then i can start the show again#ouaaaaaaghhhhhh aaaoooooouuuooaaaaaaa

i smell a new special interest coming on
#which could only be the work of…FAIRIESSSS!!!#hard to believe that i cared less abt fop as a kid but now im starting to get into it#i believe i tagged a variation of the aforementioned tag on that peri reblog#tldr: i casually watched fop then; i like it now#even longer didn’t read: fop is my latest special interest#im staying tuned on nick for every new episode of a new wish#butch hartman sucks#fairly odder sucks#fuck butch hartman#but his content is good !#i have the entirety of a new wish (as of now) recorded on my dvr#this may be the next magic school bus#im serious Nothing can replace msb atp#tho im glad its dying down ! cause msb got a bit too much for me#cant believe i liked That to the point where i mod its wiki#and bought nearly all the vhs’s and dvds on ebay during covid#and watched the reboot and its third season (including the long lost goldstealer episode)#msbra season 3 and fop season 8 are a lot alike#cause they both consist of specials#i did note this in the trivia on tmsbra season 3’s wiki page#the release of a new wish is paralleling how excited i was for the magic school bus rides again back in 7th grade

watching whose line is it anyway and remembering the special interest i had in it when i was like 13. I watched every episode, knew fun facts about most of them, knew the words to all the songs, could quote the bloopers. It was a problem
#i even bought the dvds#who the fuck knew they had the show on dvd?#like britline too not one of the newer ones#my first tumblr blog was dedicated to that show#not solely but in the way this one is dedicated to cherik

Hahahahahahahha my oldest daughter asked me a question about something and I had to go through my dvd archives. She made a joke about a dragon checking its hoard and I’ve honestly never had a better compliment.
However she then went on to indirectly peer pressure me into ordering a criterion set I had my eye on since November but hadn’t got because I don’t have a lot of disposable income anymore so maybe it’s a double edged sword….
#am I ever fucking glad I bought those three sets from A24 before my rent went up#no way I’d be able to do that now#film nerdery#Yanno honestly my dvd stash isn’t even that big#I’ve just invested in getting copies of my favourite movies#and getting fancy copies of my most favourite movies#it’s only the fact that no one keeps DVDs these days that my collection is remarkable at all

I’m really incensed lately that we can’t own things anymore. Can’t own software. Can’t own music. Can’t own shows and movies. Most of us can’t own cars or homes either.
Everything can be taken from us at any moment and then society wonders why we’re all mentally ill
#I just want Microsoft Office to be a one time fee which I can then use to install on all the computers I have to buy over time#I want my old iPod back. I want my old music library back. I wish I bought more things on dvd when they were available.#I wish I knew how to rip the dvds I do have onto my laptop. I need to go back and finish ripping all the CDs I started years ago#everything is so impermanent and it’s fucking disappointing#personal
