  1. Someone built a website that lets you walk around a video store to choose what movie you want to watch. You select the streaming services you use and that's it, no login. The movies are grouped by categories and everything.

    It's super fun.

And yes, I'm talking about Tank Girl, plus 3 more of her films. Thank you, Rachel. <3 videostorepodcast.com/p/tallyi

  17. When Americans talk about foreign films it is usually a short-hand for movies that has dialog in a #language other than #English (which at times has included Australian films - e.g. the original Mad Max).

    What is surprising is that many people in other countries have vaguely the same definition (excepting their own language). So in an #Icelandic #VideoStore the majority of titles were in English and then a section for "foreign films". Of course there are so few Icelandic films that a shelf was enough for those. Kids films were the only ones which were dubbed so that was another section entirely.

    The ubiquity of #Hollywood made English language films into a separate category, not domestic, not foreign.

    We used to have Icelandic titles for every film, including #Hollywood stuff. So Jaws was known as "Ókindin" which is actually fantastic because it sort of means "not a sheap" (though the real meaning is monster). Then there came a point when most people (at least the movie-going ones) understood what Lethal Weapon meant so it was silly to refer to it as "Tveir á Toppnum" (two on the top). We often did pronounce things with an Icelandic tilt so I sometimes slip into a weird accent when referring to films such as Terminator (Ter-mean-ah-tor with rolling Rs).

    The side is was that many "international" films are known primarily by their English titles. I have no idea what is the original title of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and we didn't really use an Icelandic one. If I know the original it is because it was known by that title in the USA. So I known Rashomon and Yojimbo (but not Rashōmon or Yōjinbō). I do try to combat this tendency of mine by using the original or an Icelandic translation but I often end up having to clarify my meaning by using the English title.

    If I had a point I would add it here but I am basically thinking by writing. Sorry to disappoint you.

  19. Perched above the echoes of a bygone media era, "No Name Studio" hints at mystery. Could it be the secret haunt where even The King might have played some incognito tunes? 🎸📼

    ビデオショップ「エルビス」の上に位置する「ノーネームスタジオ」は、謎を秘めています。もしかしたらキングがVHS、ベータ、レーザーディスクの一日の仕事の後、インコグニートで曲を演奏していた秘密の場所かもしれませんね。👑🎶

  20. I discovered today that the world's greatest #VideoStore, Seattle's own Scarecrow Video, has a channel on #IA. I hope today's very ill-advised ruling doesn't affect them.
