Yup, it is finally here. My 200th post on this here site and to celebrate. I have a video for you all to enjoy. Yes it is a long one and for that you are very welcome. Enjoy.
I was also on recent episode of The LAMBcast to talk about the 90’s comedy Gross Point Blank with Jay Cluit, David Brook, Will Slater, and Aaron Neuwrith. Click the link below to hear that show and to visit the sites of these great gentlemen.

great collection Vern!
I actually chose to stay with videos when laserdiscs came out because of the expense involved of changing over (smart move I guess in retrospect) 🙂
I have always been a fan of “letterbox” editions of videos and hated the pan and scan videos. (despite the black blocks on top and bottom of the screen)
One of my favorite extras on a DVD set was on the Die Hard trilogy dvd’s where they had an amazing featurette explaining the pan and scan vs widescreen.
Enjoy ur hiatus!
Thanks Rob, I have seen a video like that For Terminator 2 , but in that one the way it was cropped it didn’t loose much of the picture. On The Waterfront Criterion has 3 different aspect ratios of the movie too
Cool! Sounds quite interesting!
Nice Vid and great tribute. You’re a true film fan and your passion shows. Keep up the love and enjoy your break. All the best from TMI.
Congrats on your milestone! Wow, nice collection man. I actually still have a few VHS though I don’t have the player anymore, ahah. But I actually never bought a laser disc!
Thank you very much Ruth. I still have a VHS player. I find some good deals on movies I havent seen before
Just stumbled across your blog here mate, congratulations on the milestone! My little site is turning 1 soon, I can’t believe I’ve been at this for an entire year!
oh and also, reading about the LAMBcast reminds me…. how long did it take for them to get back to you when you applied? I feel like my blog got lost in the shuffle! =/
Congrats on your yearly milestone. Umm I would Email Jay Cluit of Life Vs Film about the application. jaycluitt@hotmail.com or Joel Burman joelcomments@gmail.com
hey thanks for the contacts mate. And congrats again. I hope I make it to my 200th post!!
Congratulations on reaching 200 posts! Good going. Enjoy reading your random thoughts of a movie insomniac recaps.
Congratulations on your 200th post Vern. Sorry I haven’t stopped by your site in a while – I’ve been struggling to find time for blogging lately but I’m looking forward to catching up 🙂
