Blu-ray Hunt

Hi everyone, I’m back from Bristol and I have a very packed video….a parcel from Imprint films, a slipcover from James in Scotland and a movie room update (as well as a visit to HMV of course) I hope you enjoy the video.

    Well done for at least mentioning the historical inaccurate box ticking with that film. I nearly spat out my tea when you said it was set in a 1920s village in England! Good DIY work on the library just needs the finishing touches now.

    Really enjoyed that Alan also appreciate your honesty when a film is bad you say it’s bad. Speaking for myself I’m not a great fan of films that change historical events with people of different race for me you mustn’t attempt to change history or present it in different way I think it is oh so dangerous which is probably why evil repeats. Enough of that on a nice day nice job of your room btw it looks wonderful.

Every home needs an Alan 😂 I love what they’ve done either the thing you’re stood under on the seafront (I’ve forgotten what it’s called). It’s so keeping with the time of the original. They removed our old town bandstand which was really quaint and replaced it with a fecking thing that looks like a Klingon ship. It’s hideous. No one likes it. Some lovely footage in Bristol too. I ❤ that castle. I want to live there!!!

    Hi Alan. Thanks for sharing some of your travels, I really enjoyed some of Bristol and Weston-Super-Mare. The Brighton bandstand is looking good too. You’re a man of many talents, I didn’t know you were a chef also. The shelving is looking great. Did I spot there that you have added a little gold plaque for your HMV Premium Collection shelf….Im always jealous that Imprint sends you those wonderful box sets. We have a store in Vancouver that stocks them but they are typically around $200, too pricey for me. I’m not very familiar with John Farrow, I have only seen the movies he did with John Wayne - Hondo and The Sea Chase.

It took about three weeks to have my wet room refurbished, I spent three weeks with no shower and I wasn’t really functioning on anything else other than I was just thinking about my wet room. To answer the question that you posed on Instagram when you went into a charity shop and saw the 1997 special edition VHS clamshell individual releases for £30 as a bundle, definitely a good price. I say this is somebody who managed to pick up both the standard gold case versions and the wide screen case versions , of the releases you saw and they are an extremely rare find, especially the wide screen variance.
