You can't be serious? I redeemed a handful of codes that came with my DISCS. I have never purchased a digital code.

I own 7,449 titles on dvd, blu-ray, and 4K disc. Still more if you add in older formats. I own 3,782 titles on blu-ray to your 558. You are in no position to lecture me about ownership of physical media. I buy more discs in two months time than you buy in an entire year.

You shouldn't be trying to rile me up on my , either. For shame!

I plan to watch Blue Velvet and Mulholland Drive, on blu-ray, thank you very much, in preparation for my Twin Peaks marathon. I couldn't get much watched over the weekend because that is when my family and friends chose to celebrate my

You should update your collection as you get them; it is easier that way. Now, you have 142 entries to make and that makes it a tad tedious to do. My problem is categorizing mine; I have too many titles just lumped into the "owned" category.

I have all my blurays and dvds listed in the cloud. I even rate them as I watch them. Page after page lol.

Those two are great films and vintage Lynch.

I would advise you to really soak up Twin Peaks. Let it wash over you. The first series is awesome all the way through, the second series isn’t quite as good but the first and last few episodes are fantastic,.

The film resonates as you get to live Laura Palmers last days and I think it will stick in your mind. It’s a tremendous piece of work.

Finally, the final series is beyond incredible. You have e a lot of fantastic content to get through. The soundtrack to TP and those films you are watching are superb. The composer (Angelo Badalamenti) is just as much a genius as Lynch in his own way.

I would also recommend Lost Highway and Eraserhead. I’m sure you have seen Elephant Man.

We have a "for profit" healthcare system here and treating obesity, and the diabetes that stems from it, makes for a cash cow for the industry. Treatment is more profitable after all. How's that for being cynical?

Yes, I own The Elephant Man, but only on DVD. It is a hard movie to watch. I have Eraserhead, but only on dvd as well. I don't know if I have ever watched it, though.

I have Lost Highway and Inland Empire coming from Amazon.uk. They should be arriving anytime now.

I am looking forward to diving into Lynch's world now that things are quieting down.

The Elephsnt Man is a beatiful film although I would say it’s Lynche’s most mainstream film.

Americans would never vote for anything that takes away our right to be fat.

My U.K. order just arrived with those two Lynch films, two more 3D films, and a Christopher Lee Dracula movie to round it all out. A most fortuitous day indeed!

Yes, you're quite the rebel. I'm sure with your smartphone(s) and your tablet(s) and your gaming platform(s) and your VR goggles and your streaming account(s) and your projector(s) and your tv(s) our corporate overlords look at you as the One That Got Away.

We didn’t vote for it, the government are trying to enforce it.

Smartphone is for work

Tablet is for work/play

VR is a niche so not mainstream.

Not many people have projectors so that’s a niche.

Not many people collect films in their hundreds.

Only really gaming can be considered mainstream. So my original point stands.

The Straight Story is his most mainstream in my opinion.

You're a good little consumer drone just like the rest of us.

You think wearing goggles or streaming TV shows is 'outside the box'?

Okay.

Okay.

Yes I do. 4 million out of 99 million PS4 gamers? Deffo.

I listen to vinyl
I have a HT
I don’t drink
I hate pubs
I love the theatre

Not typical of my part of the world.

You are right. I forgot that one. It’s one of the few I dont own but I have seen it. I didn’t care for it to be honest. It didn’t feel like Lynch.

I had no idea you listened to vinyl and didn't like bars.

Trust me, where I come from that is absolutely not typical.

Oh, I also love cold weather and hate warm days.

By the way, you are such a piss taker.
