Four Adventures of Reinette and Mirabelle [Quatre aventures de Reinette et Mirabelle] (dir. Éric Rohmer, France, 1987)

My personal favourite of Rohmer’s films but one of his least cohesive. The film follows Reinette (Jöelle Miquel), who lives in the South of France, and Mirabelle (Jessica Forde), a visitor on a family holiday. Told in four vignettes, the film acts as a character study into the two girls and a think piece on how we communicate and how we connect. Lavishly shot with gorgeous long takes capturing the chaos of Paris and the tranquil beauty of the French countryside, the film floats by comfortingly.

“The only time it’s okay to pirate is when something isn’t available to buy. Otherwise it’s wrong and bad.” Babe how are you going to watch something when it becomes unavailable if people weren’t pirating it before it became unavailable.

#ra speaks #personal #piracy #don’t get me wrong there’s nuances to piracy but like #but like. I’m sorry pirate archiving SHOULD happen when something is still legally available. #I just. I can’t see the logic in this. maybe it’s like ‘oh the people who OWN copies they PAID for should redistribute via piracy once it’s #unavailable’ but like. the point is a lot of media isn’t OWNED anymore. you pay to rent and view it nowadays. there’s no file or dvd. #just an internet connection to some streaming service’s server. and if they decide to pull the plug you aren’t getting that media back #no matter if you paid to ‘buy it’ #I am. so eepy. ‘‘twas a long cold day of comdef monitoring. goodnight.

Kaitō Ruby (dir. Makoto Wada, Japan, 1988)

A hidden gem beginning to gain its rightful flowers. Following Hiroyuki (Hiroyuki Sanada), an average blue-collar worker, and his eclectic and beautiful neighbour, Rumi Kaitō (Kyoko Koizumi), the film bumbles through their failed hijinks as they struggle and often fail to become a pair of master thieves. This cult comedy is perfectly silly and delightfully clever, balancing wit, character work and pitch-perfect direction effortlessly.

i was worried my mom would find it weird that i wanted to buy DVDs in 2023 but not only did she help me out but she also bought me a new portable DVD player. neat

#rambles #not jojo related #personal #we have DVD players laying around but they are quite old and mom didn't know where they were lol #i remember having a portable DVD player when i was little. i think i got in trouble for trying to put rocks in it #i really do like DVDs and we have quite a few of them still in our shelves but my parents have streaming services now so we don't use them #i have always been sort of repulsed by the idea of using streaming services for watching anything though #i really do not like the idea of all media not being ownable and instead being on streaming services that can delete media when it wants #of course i definitely DON'T just pirate things most of the time (totally definitely not) #anyway in this particular instance i got DVDs of invader zim (shocker) #particularly because the IZ DVDs have special commentary from the showrunners and voice actors #the commentary isn't available on anything else and i could only find some of them on youtube and on internet archive #so the DVDs i will get... i need to listen to that commentary god damn it #i looked into the DVDs and not only do they have commentary but also episode animatics and even an option for IRKEN subtitles?? #i didn't even know irkens had a whole developed language tbh... #DVDs can be so cool with the artwork and custom screens and special features... so much cooler than streaming services really

Was considering buying (ridiculously overpriced) Sunny blu-rays to (very, very legally) rip them (for Personal Use archival purposes), decided to test on a blu-ray I already own, realized my external drive only reads DVDs, successfully ripped a DVD, but then was sent down a rabbit hole trying to see if I could use my (again, very, very legally) hacked PS3 to rip the .iso (I can) since it is indeed a blu-ray player with an attached PC-adjacent machine...

Long story short. If you see me spending $70 on seasons 1-5 on DVD and 6 on blu-ray, no you didn't, but also expect a 1080p season 6 bloopers upload in the near future.

definitely not from me, though. no way. i would never do that. i'm not a pirate. i'm just a good ole upstanding wiki admin.

#i need season 8 so bad but the price of it on bluray is ATROCIOUS #THESE MFERS ARE ASKING FOR EIGHTY WHOLE DOLLARS. FOR ONE BLURAY. and i'm NOT about to get fucked over with a bootleg so options are limited #i mmmmight hold off on the earlier season dvds because i think i might actually have some luck finding them in local stores #but who the FUCK has season 8 on bluray. im convinced there are only like 5 legit copies out there. #afaik a good chunk of the season 1-4 extras are out there already but the interlacing on them is disgusting #so if i can. i'm going to attempt to deinterlace them properly and then stick em on the internet archive #ada speaks #actually i should probably... see if anyone is interested in donating to help cover this lol #the episodes are out there and there arent any official blurays after season 8 (so like why even bother with 9 to 11's subpar 720p DVDs) #but 6-8 extras are all shit quality if theyre even available online at all #youtube doesnt cut it for me either #YEAH Y'ALL REMEMBER MACDEN BREAK UP BEAUTIFUL LIPS SCENE. ITS GONE. NOWHERE TO BE FOUND OTHER THAN TUMBLR. #and i. will change that singlehandedly if its the last thing i do #also like i need the cereal defense scene in hq i literally attempted to upscale the shitty youtube copy i was desperate #this is for me. the fact that im able to download every fucking dvd extra for THE X FILES. a series as old as me. but not for sunny. #FX why do you hate sunny so bad. go on. rerelease these dvds. release a fucking season 15 blu ray. bitch. #its so horrific that season 10 only has a gag reel and 11 has NOTHING included on the disc for bonuses #season 6 has a wholeass trivia game #what happened #its not even like the bonus feature stuff doesnt exist its just on youtube #and MOST of the shit is privated. because FX sucks. #low quality compressed youtube videos that ppl have downloaded and reuploaded and crunched to shit all over again #at least some of them are archived. but. fuck
