Newsflash! Look what I found on LASERDISC at the used bookstore for $2.99!!!

It’s very good, for the most part. Very well-crafted, one of the great sword-fights, Tim Roth is always a terrific villain. But needless rape scenes have really not aged well, and that one is particularly bleak.

It's a much, much better film than the 'Scottish history' film that won the Oscar for Best Picture that year

 

[Help!I'maRock!]

Fucking Rob Roy.

You are to be congratulated on such a cheaply bought laser disc.

My roommate in Army AIT was a PV2 Rob Roy McGregor.

He wasn't nearly as heroic or principled. I once stood back and let him get his ass whooped for something I told him he deserved to get his ass whooped for. I only intervened when it was about to go too far. He expected me to apologise, I told him "be happy I kept them from killing you".

Someone told me years later they were stationed with him in ft Bragg and he was still a little shit.

Never flat out name your kid after a hero, it does not always honor them.

Do you have a laser disc player? One of the finest of the dead-end entertainment technologies.

 

[Tralfaz]

It's CLV. Fuck that shit.

Cool thing about laser disc is that you don't wear out the VHS tape watching the masturbation parts over and over again.

Hmmm.

Never saw it...

Deluxe letter box is better than regular letter box. I guess.

 

[jp_nyc]

Ah yes, the movie infamous for using the word “quim”.

 

[smurfco]

I didn’t buy it because Rob Roy is horrible, you goons.

Ok, so I'm glad I never saw it then...

Flamencology and I both like it, and we don't agree on hardly anything

I inherited about 100 LaserDiscs from my grandfather when he passed. They are still taking up valuable space in my basement. I wish I could painlessly get rid of them.

Unless they have some sentimental value, you should just sell them in one big lot on Craigslist. There are a few laserdiscs worth big bucks nowadays, but most LD's are pretty much worthless now and/or are titles notoriously prone to laser rot.

 

[Bones McHorror]

Is this that movie where King Kong kidnaps Jessica Lange and then Liam Neeson tells him over the phone that he has a particular set of skills and he will find him and he will kill him? And the giant ape, undaunted, says "good luck" and hangs up?

Or am I thinking of something else?
