I wonder if DVDs burn? Books, magazines, and newspapers burn, and certainly film burns, particularly if it is on nitrate film stock. But, we shall find out if DVDs can produce a fire bright enough to light up the night, much like Kristallnacht. Oh, the juvenile SJWs will find it so festive! Get out the marshmallows!

That’s why I buy DVDs and CDs for the ones I don’t want to ever lose. Technology in the hands of the wicked sucks.

A friend in San Diego just said the exact same thing to me last night. It’s why my TV is off 98+ percent of the time. It’s all run by the leftist.

No, you even get a coupon for free Chinese food with Plan 9. Just have to find a place to redeem in. There might be a bit of a wait.

I actually got to meet Criswell once when I was very little. My parents took me to an event where he and some other Hollywood celebrities pushing some idea, I think it was selling old coins to some expert. Our old coins didn’t make the cut since I now have them.

Checked out The Rope (I love Hitchcock.) on IMBD.

So what problem do the wokerati have with Rope? That the two murderers are homos? Well, so were Leopold and Loeb on whom the film is based.

Ye. 12 percent of the population in 99 percent of commercials. Unbelievable. It is really aggravating this bullshit. EVERY SINGLE gorgeous white woman is with a black guy. The rare white guys are either gay or dweebs with a black woman. Latinos who are double the black population are rarely seen. The Marketing and Adversing world is nuts.

Just mute the hosts. They are mostly ridiculous people who have no talent.

The Searchers is a great movie - many think John Ford's best.

For his era, Ford portrayed Indians in a very respectful and at times noble manner.

Interestingly, the plot is very loosely based on a true story. Cynthia Ann Parker was a young girl when her family settled in central Texas. She, among others, was taken captive in a Comanche raid. She lived among the Comanches and married a Comanche chief. One of her children was Quanah Parker, who later became known as the last Chief of the Comanche, eventually making peace with the whites and moving his people to a reservation. In 1860, Texas Rangers found her with a band of Comanches and returned her to her family, which captured the attention of many. Sadly, she was unhappy living with her white family and longed for her life as a Comanche.

Treasure your DVD collection folks.

Besides my DVDs, I still have about a cubic yard of VHS tapes.

It’s ‘Rope’. And it’s justifiably rated 8 out 10 on the IMDB. One of my favorites.

I'm sure I was fascinating! What an interesting memory! But let's leave memories behind for now. As you know, we are all interested in the future, for that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives.

Ben mankiewicz was a sanctimonious, leftist prick well ahead of his time. He falsely accused arguably America’s greatest war time hero, Audie Murphy, of being a drug addict and a drunk.

Ted Turner LOVED GWTW. Has HE atoned for his sins yet?

Ben is a loser. Long live Robert Osborne, he was a treasure.

I picked up a series of some of the Dirty Harry movies real cheap several years ago on DVD because I figured soon they would be cancelled by leftists. Now I need to hurry up and get a collection of the Bronson Death Wish films. I bet the left really hates them.

Didn’t Ted Turner fight to try to colorize Citizen Kane?

Hey, welcome to art, snowflakes. The sentence ends with the ultimate vague yet loaded word, “problematic.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Good thing the derps are stooopid and uneducated, or else they’d cancel art like the below - not because the people are nekkid, but because there are only 2 blacks and no trans, or asians...
