@LaserdiscTurtle
As an aside, I notice that a new Freeview channel has just appeared; "Rewind TV" (ch 95) in the UK which is currently broadcasting episodes of #SapphireAndSteel among many other such period masterpieces.

@dlundh It’s been a weird week film-wise. #cinemastodon #LetterboxdFriday True Romance was a lot better than what I remember, but also a lot more violent! Watched the #arrowvideo disc with the DC cut. @UKFilmNerd @LaserdiscTurtle @Eg0nJN

I have had my eye on these for a long time. #physicalmedia The Eureka sale made the decision easier. Some really great action movies with Jackie and a great Kubrick. #uhd #4k #hdr @LaserdiscTurtle @UKFilmNerd @Eg0nJN

WAHOO!!!
More friends join my plushie collection.It's the LaserKaraoke parrot and his band ensemble!! From Japan!!!
Really hard to find info on the blue and purple parrots, but they are backup support it seems otherwise!
They appear to be fully licensed products down to a very small PIONEER stamp/insignia found within the attached loop tag near the feet.
Yahooooooo!! 💿
Pioneer, Jun 1984. Introduces commercial-use Laser Karaoke systems centered on the LD-V11 LD player for karaoke. Simultaneously adopts a parrot character as the logo for Laser Karaoke.

"wake up babe tms just dropped"
It appears they found it! "The Most Mysterious Song on the Internet", aka "Like the Wind" (or "Blind the Wind") is apparently "Subways of Your Mind" by FEX.
People have been looking for this song since 2007:

This makes me so happy. If you're someone who loves preserving culture and media, today is an awesome day.

Interesting...cinema listings have appeared for Michael Mann's Manhunter...THE FINAL CUT!
I've only ever seen the Theatrical Cut, not heard much praise for the Director's Cut. Interesting to see that it's getting another edit. Hopefully all three will come to 4K at some point.
Would be nice if we could get a Final Cut of The Keep some day! (And NO, there is no 210 minute cut of the Keep! Please let that BS rumour die at last!)

Even though I can't play this #VHD copy of #Highlander...I assume it's the exact same transfer of this #Laserdisc which I *can* play.

Yep, it finally happened; I now own a copy of #Highlander on a video format I can't actually play.
This isn't a #laserdisc, it's a #VHD (Video High Density)!

Dear #PeterCapaldi, #DoctorWho, and #music fans!
Does anyone have a video of the new version of the song "Beautiful and Weird", the one about Ken and Anne Marie?
I fell in love with the song at the Newcastle gig, went back to his first album and found a totally different song with different lyrics and story!
I found a short clip of it so I know I'm not going mad. Another video I found infuriatingly cuts off right as he's introducing the song!
Great gig. Catch him while he's on tour!

One of my "holy grail" #Laserdiscs just arrived!
CAPTAIN SUPERMARKET!
The western version of the film had some boring title like #EvilDead 3 #ArmyOfDarkness, but only Japan released it with the true, superior title.

Tonight I finally watched one of the #laserdiscs that I got while I was in Japan last month.
"Who Am I?" - one of my favourite #JackieChan films. So much fun and great to finally see the full length Hong Kong cut which has different editing and is around 10 mins longer. Great 5.1 AC3 track too!

The new Japanese #4K #BluRay of #PerfectBlue looks like a huge upgrade over my UK Blu Ray, even without HDR.
Shame there's no subtitles of any form on the disc but I'm sure it will get an English language friendly international release soon enough.
(UK Blu first picture, JP 4K second)

A friend is heading to #London for a few days and is asking for any recommendations for places to find #Laserdiscs.
The only place I've ever found them on my visits is Sister Ray's. Any other suggestions?
In my experience London is pretty poor for #Retro tech shopping.

For those of you who have never seen a #laserdisc player change sides!
It's a crazy design! The whole laser pickup flips to the opposite side of the machine while the disc stops, changes direction and speeds up again.
I assume all the stabilisation hardware built into the pickup made it too expensive to add one for each side. Either way you'd still have to wait for the disc to stop, change direction, and speed up again.

I'm not really a #car person but I am an minor #audiophile and I got excited when I spotted that according the the manual my car should be able to handle #multichannel #audio playback!
However in practice all I seem to be able to get when I try various 5.1 #SurroundSound test files are the front left and right, all other channels silent. So it seems to know their 5.1, but only playing 2 channels out of front and rear speakers.
Any car/audio people have any suggestions? #Skoda #Fabia 3 #Bolero

I held off importing the US 4K release of #TheProphecy Trilogy as I knew that this was coming sometime soon, but this is the first time I've seen the gorgeous artwork!
God's Army (The Prophecy) is coming to #4K #BluRay in March from #PlaionPictures(formally #KochMedia).
The US Prophecy cut of the film will be 4K, while the International God's Army cut will apparently be presented in HD (with SD upscaling) on Blu Ray.
A friend worked on this release and I can't wait to see it.

I managed to get a bit of signal from my #VCR into the #Sinclair #TV1 / #TV80 portable TV...but not a very stable one.
VCR menus came through nice and clear, but as soon as the #video started playing I got both horizontal and vertical scrolling that I couldn't seem to tune out.
Just wrapping a coax cable around the aerial for now which seems to work for others. Might need to try stripping the cable or something. Any tips, @avavsystems?
The yellow and dark bands are just camera artefacts.

Considering my username I should really post more about #laserdiscs; that was kind of my thing over on the other site in the before times.
No idea why I've just not been in the #laserdisc zone lately. I really should sit down and watch some again soon; I've got plenty to pick from!
