I take it there is no price reduction for the drop in quality.

Not a bean, I think they are expecting people to change their package themselves.

The episode has finished and I turned Netflix off and Channel 5 is playing a really shoddy print of The Fifth element and that looks better haha

TIME TO UNBOX ALL THOSE BLU'S AND DVD'S.

PHYSICAL FORMATS ARE WHERE IT'S AT.

DON'T BE AT THE MERCY OF STREAMING SITES.

Exactly. I'm well stocked as i basically went through a phase of buying all my favourite stuff and anything i thought sounded interesting and unique when i had a bit of money.

Got pretty much all the Hammers and Amicus, and quite a few films i've never seen, Giallo/ cult stuff and tv series such as Batman, Addams family.

Also got a load of stuff i loved as a kid, so i may have to overdose on these as a form of light/nostalgic entertainment to get away from all this heavy shit thats going down.

If the internet goes down i'm good for months.:cool:

Bing Russell had two loves in life Baseball and Acting he had a successful stage and screen career but baseball would never leave him. After the baseball league took the only team Portland had out of the city and relocated them Bing Russel stepped in and went again every thing major league baseball stood for and he created his own independent team to compete against the big boys. He held tryouts and every reject from all across America showed up with the hopes of one last chance to live their dreams. The team he assembled was rough and ready for battle they were the opposite of what was the norm in baseball they were out of shape unshaven and hard drinking but they were what was missing from baseball they were entertaining fun and real but on top of that they were naturally gifted ball players and what they did shocked the establishment to its very core.

Absolutely fantastic documentary showing that if you put your mind to it you can do anything. We always hear of the American Dream well this a perfect example of that. Never under estimate the small guy because sheer will and heart can get you to where you want to go in life.

I forgot to mention that Bing Russell is Kurt Russell's father and he and his mother are heavily involved in this documentary. This is a real heartwarmerming story about men who had given up on their dreams and this gave them something to fight for gave them meaning and purpose.

8/10

I'm with you there, although I wont start the unpacking just yet because I still have around 40 unwatched discs (not including the complete Zatoichi - 25 films) which are not packed up yet. Just disappointing because I'm half way through Sabrina and I'm enjoying it so would seem a shame to pause that for a month or maybe two...

I've not watched this, but it's impressively on 0% on Rotten Tomatoes from 34 professional reviews, even Artmeis Fowl has a score of 10%..

No way it can be worse than Fowl. Poor Robert Shaw must be spinning in his grave ( the brat playing Fowl is his grandson).

Being eat by a shark would still be more fun than Fowl
