Today (April 22) is John Waters' birthday. He's a personal weird, filthy hero of mine (since I was about 16, despite me being cis), and I have a bit of a Waters collection going.
On my birthday this year, I found a KILLER deal for the Blu-ray Criterion Collection version of Pink Flamingos, and this is what is included inside of it- mini newspaper!
Happy birthday to John, and may he continue to be a huge inspiration to so many of us.

SNEAKERS (1992) 4K UHD Kino Lorber arrived today 
...does #Bluray make sense? Current pricing is at $10.40/TB, which you generally won't beat with hard drives, ever. Even without floods in Thailand or tariffs. The discs don't themselves have any moving parts and purportedly will be readable "for centuries" (lol, k).
I archive data every month that I might, but probably won't look at in the future. I don't love how much hard drives cost, especially if you are setting up redundancy.
Edit: Oops, got the math totally wrong. It's more like $98/TB.

Governor Pontius Pilate gave the populace a choice to spare either Barabbas, a criminal, or Jesus, condemned as a heretic, from crucifixion. The masses chose Barrabas, and he is haunted by the image of Jesus for the rest of his life.
Just bought myself a 4k Blu-Ray player to use with the 4k 110" projector and large sound system at the community cinema I run every month. Can anyone suggest a good Blu-ray film I should buy to show off the picture quality and sound?

Does anyone know a good external or internal blu ray drive?
Preferably not too expensive since I only have a couple blu rays that need backing up
Edit: added tags
I recently bought "The Sopranos" complete edition on Blu-Ray.
I know, the show isn't the newest but I am a sucker for mafia & gangster related movies and shows. And I have never watched this show before but heard a lot about it.
Now I am 3 episodes into the show and boy is this a great show!
Okay, when you like "Godfather I+II" or "Good Fellas", "Casino" and similar movies there is a lot you recognize in "The Sopranos".
But boy is it entertaining ...
