klu9@piefed.socialtoFull movies on YouTube@piefed.social•Dark Star (1974 1080p)English1·24 hours agoThe film that introduced the world to both J.C. and Dan O’Bannon (creator of Alien)! Haven’t seen it since late night TV in the 90s, but I remember it being a great laugh.
(I see it’s also available on for free on Plex, but the Daily Motion one is much higher quality.)
klu9@piefed.socialto movies@piefed.social•I have RoboCop 2 on VCD. I have a Sony Trinitron CRT. I am unwell.English11·1 day agoI bought a second-hand Phillips CD-i around '97 (once the format flopped, they were pretty cheap) with FMV (Full Motion Video) chip, and bought a few VCDs in Chinatown.
Can’t remember all of them (some HK action flicks) but I definitely had The Replacement Killers, one of the few Western films they sold, because it starred Chow Yun-Fat.
(Also had the Demolition Man game for the CD-i. And got a bunch of other obsolete/flopped consoles: Panasonic 3DO, Atari Jaguar, Sega Game Gear etc.)
But I don’t have any of that any more, all gone in various moves over the years.
I do still have a few films in .rmvb, the “VCD of filesharing formats” ;) as it was very popular for sharing East Asian films.
Anyways, I don’t think you’re unwell but then who am I to talk? :D

klu9@piefed.socialto Linguistics@mander.xyz•The cause of inconsistencies in English spellingEnglish3·1 day agoGreat overview!
One typo?
For example, any and many were spelled based on one dialect, but spelled based on another dialect instead of the also current spellings eny, meny.
I think one of those “spelled” should be “pronounced”.
