Imo one of the greatest works of French cinema. In my top ten movies ever. The criterion edition looks tasty because it updates the previous edition's ****ty translation and has a commentary with Kassovits. I'll post my thoughts when it gets here, but Criterion does a good job usually. |

That's the joke I was making. You know all of the (digitally available in legal terms) criterion films are on hulu, right?
|
Yeah. We don't get hulu in Canada. I know that I could just use a proxy, but I buy dvds for the special features anyway. Criterion also comes with nice printed film essays and stuff. Otherwise I just torrent ****...
Anyway, I got it because I had some amazon gift cards. |
You guys are missing out on one of the best series of website glitches that the internet has to offer.
|
Yeah, I've heard that. Worse than Netflix?
|
It's so bad I'd cancel my subscription if I weren't mooching off of my parents. Netflix I can handle.
|
Still, at least they have criterion movies etc.
The selection on Netflix is pretty sparse, at least here in Canada. |
Popped into a local coin and stamp shop and bought two antique currency pieces - a China Kwang Tung Province 1 Cash coin from 1889 and a Denmark 5 Ore from 1927.
Once I add a long leather chord, these will make nice neo-bohemian retro-west-coast gypsy necklaces for my ongoing cultural appropriation project. http://i.imgur.com/yFlN5jem.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/5zONoC1m.jpg |
The boots have landed. My first pair of Dr. Martens #1460 8-eye black boots.
I wore army boots all through my teens but these are a different world entirely. They feel like a fortress around my feet and are insanely comfortable. Thanks, Doc! http://i.imgur.com/lkxvQ3Dl.jpg |
A pair of shows for my daughter.

Great band and I'd imagine equally great footwear. Might look into buying some. |
Those Dr. Martens bring back memories. My brother had a pair, albeit in tan, in the 80s, to go with his drainpipe jeans, his skinhead haircut, and his Sex Pistols record.

Just got my ticket for this mother****er. I haven't been this excited for a show in a while. Won't be seeing the Theory of Obscurity screening before the show, unfortunately.

It was my birthday last week, so I got this with my birthday money and it arrived today.

Went antiquing today. Was INCREDIBLY tempted to pick up a complete set of Sesame Street Fischer Price Little People (because the feels) -
http://i.imgur.com/AsBYc9ol.jpg They were $140 which is the fair market price (especially to get them all at once), but I passed on the opportunity. I was also on the hunt for a pair of vintage Rodin's The Thinker bookends for my 70s sci fi mass market paperbacks. Found three sets at various booths and took home the pair with the best patina. http://i.imgur.com/M9pirG7l.png |

Only Oscar the Grouch would be safe, though, because the trash can lid would keep you from losing the toy up your ass.

Looks like big bird already got one in.

Jane Austen - Pride and Prejudice throw blanket based on the artwork from the prized 1896 Peacock Edition.
http://i.imgur.com/HAAdq0Dl.jpg http://i.imgur.com/tsxYYE9.jpg |
^where did you find it? Nice.
|
I was looking for the best edition of P&P and stumbled upon the Peacock Edition, and when I searched for images detailing the edition I found a thumbnail of the blanket hosted on Pintrest.com. A reverse-Google Image Search led me to UncommonGoods.com which sells the throw.
Mine should be in the post in the weeks ahead. |
A gentleman's frock from 1906 to wear at my wedding. It's a costume-friendly event and I'm styling my attire after Number 48 from the 1967 BBC series, The Prisoner.
http://i.imgur.com/vJvB1DIl.jpg Also purchased ornamental frog fasteners for some modifications I'll be making to the piece. http://i.imgur.com/H5I03zsl.jpg and picked up a Tibetan Buddhist meditation bell to make the costume complete. http://i.imgur.com/GsiLNJXl.jpg |
In 1981, Dead Kennedy's released their In God We Trust EP with side B intentionally left blank and the message, "Home taping is killing record industry profits! We left this side blank so you can help!"
In the spirit of the EP and of the failed UK anti-piracy campaign of the era, I've just uploaded and ordered a custom printed tri-blend tee with a parody graphic of the famous image. Yarr. http://i.imgur.com/ig2OQmZl.jpg http://i.imgur.com/L4Zt0qRl.png |
I needed a new headset after my logitech ones finally crapped out on me after 6 years or so.
So I picked up these bad boys. https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon....3L._SX425_.jpg Afterglow headset. It says I can use it with my ps4 but I don't really see how since it only has a jack and no usb connector. I don't think this version is bluetooth compatible either. |
I picked up some new cans as well. Decided to go with a trusted and widely reviewed and liked brand for a modest price.
AKG K240 https://s2.graphiq.com/sites/default...io_4392053.jpg They come in on Tuesday. I'm excited. |
I'll join in. My recent headphone purchase - the Audioquest Nighthawks.
Transitioning from a pair of circumaural closed back studio monitors with a nearly invisible sound signature to this semi-open model has been a difficult challenge, but they're growing on me. http://i.imgur.com/7ZS4kn4l.jpg http://i.imgur.com/DxJZHQMl.jpg http://i.imgur.com/CC4WPTJl.jpg |
