Entry 18th September 2021: Post 2: Blockbusters - On cassette tape.
Blockbusters - On cassette tape.
They cancelled the latest Star Trek movie as most of the cast quit.
Also turns out that Sherlock Holmes 3 wont be coming anytime soon
as filming hasn't even started. Only taken a decade... but hey.
Anyhoo, with dwindling actual stars through natural death and the
ravages of world pandemics and cast conflicts its kinda refreshing
that you can still enjoy some of your favourites on tape still. To
enjoy it though you are going to have to use the power of your
imagination. Not a bad thing.
Audio books are still available and they are fortunately not held
back by $200 million production budgets. No red carpets, no expensive
CGI .. just your ability to listen and conjure your own imagination.
So if you are like me and really hate reading books, and still need
your blockbuster fix.. well maybe get an audio book and live out
your fiction in the best theatre you will ever have. Your mind.
It's kinda cute having the tapes next to your DVD collection. The
audio cassettes add a nice touch to any collection. Not sure about
books though. They really are hard work for me.
Good news is that I finally snagged Series 7 of Seinfeld. You know
the one featuring the Soup Nazi. Man is that episode classic.
No soup for you .. Next !!!
I had this leaflet with the recent acquisitions and I gotta say it got
me thinking what I would sell my entire collection for. I thought
maybe thirty thousand might cover it. But then I considered what it
would be like waking up without any of my stuff. Not gonna happen.
I mean what's a collection without a collection.
