A Visit To The Last DVD Store While packing for a trip to Auckland, I saw that one of the latest episodes of Conan Needs a Friend podcast was with a caller working in ‘The Last DVD Store’.

The aforementioned store is Alice in Videoland and it's based in Christchurch, where I was staying with relatives for a month. So I HAD TO give it a listen and, eventually, a visit. Luckily, I had friends in town who were down to accompany me on this admittedly geeky excursion.

Didn’t meet the caller, James, but we did get to talk to one of his co-workers who told us that we—at least to his knowledge—are the first people to visit the store because of the podcast. He also had interesting news to share…

Conan recently dropped by himself as part of his HBO travel show, Conan Must Go. That’s James with him on a framed photo that sits proudly on the store’s wall. It’s for the second season, which hasn’t aired yet—so I guess that’s a spoiler?

Team Coco connection aside, as a film geek who grew up in the era of video rentals, but had no access to a shop with a selection this massive, I was truly in a wonderland. I could have spent my entire day there.

I mean, this is just a small section of the store but it already offers an array of standout films: The Holdovers, Anatomy of a Fall, Perfect Days, Civil War, Barbie, Past Lives, Furiosa, Challengers, Pearl, May December, Decision to Leave, Tár, Monkey Man, Dune, Monster, and The Banshees of Inisherin.

The international section was also impressive. Scanned it for Daniel Brühl films and was not disappointed.

It also has an accompanying theatre. I didn't get to watch a movie there, but I did catch the 70th anniversary screening of Seven Samurai in Lumière Cinema. I've been meaning to check out the works of Akira Kurosawa for a while now and to also watch a movie in a boutique cinema so I figured - why not hit two birds with one stone? Never mind that it was 3.5 hour black and white Japanese movie from the 1950s and that I woke up at an ungodly hour that day to catch a 6AM flight back to Christchurch. They served my coffee in a ceramic mug and all the seats had a tray attached—I was chuffed.

Also, not me stifling a squeal in an art gallery when I saw Goodbye, Lenin! in the Canterbury Film Society brochure... and the disappointment when I realized the month it was scheduled for had already passed.

Oh well, you can't have it all. Did get to explore Hobbiton as well—because New Zealand—but perhaps I'll save that post for a different time.

A young man fell out of the warp, landing on his feet. He staggered a bit, as the drop was on the higher side. After a bit of recovery, he examined his surroundings. A hot afternoon in the wilderness. He kept trekking, hopefully some shade or water to cool off in, or some high ground to get a better view of his surroundings.

Hahaha let's pretend it's not been a month since I posted here, whoops. Anyway. The mood in this set of songs ranges from edgy kinda moldboard type songs to real high energy goofy stuff. Actually, I think that every song on here could be the basis for a TTRPG character. Some of them would be more fun to be around than others tho.
