Himitsu....You rang?

Knock yourselves out guys!

[azuhlLt.]

So...who, seriously, has used a physical disc to watch a movie or television show at home in the last year? Obviously Hitmitsu has, I wonder who else has?

I for one get ALL of my entertainment media digitally now, I don't need physical discs filling any corner of my tiny apartment.

[moolooman]

Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, Trailer Park Boys, Flight of the Concords.
All take pride of place in my DVD library.

Pakalika ever see an eikawa kids lesson? Get some nice kids music, get some lyrics for the mothers (if they are joining) try to sing the song with some actions.

Get some giant pictured flash cards. Lots of chanting and touching the flash cards, some coloring of a picture in line with the theme of the flash cards. This would be your main body or theme of the day.

Read them a story. Maybe changes weekly or even monthly.


Do animal actions around the room.

Do the "Big, big, big. Small, small, small song." Basically chant adjectives that they can act out to the tune of "Nick-Nack-Patty-Whack-Give-A-Dog-A-Bone". Some adj that they can act out are fast-slow, tall-short, high-low, loud-quiet etc.... it's good, builds tension.

Just some ideas to fill in any gaps you may be having...

I`ve never downloaded or watched a film online. But I only buy what I really want to possess (maybe 1 or 2 films a year), otherwise Tsutaya.

There are two reasons why I still stick with physical mediums.
1. If one of my fav. bands have a new album, or a film I really like is out, I want to have the disc, if I just download it, it doesn`t feel as important anymore (want to treasure it )
2. Don`t know enough about downloading, where to do it, what features are included, how to pay, if the quality will be really satisfying on my pc, a.s.o.
If I buy it in a shop, I know what I get for the money.

About space, sure, it`s an issue, but I keep all the cases in one box in the closet, and the discs in those pocket things with up to 40 pockets, you can even get at 100en shop.

Yeah mate. They are sandwiched between my Blackadder, Bottom, and Only Fools and Horses DVDs

I bought the Blackadder DVD set a year ago, watched it about 4 times now, just love it :) Above all season 3, Hugh Laurie (Dr. House) is the hit

Pay?

It is hard to compare Hugh Laurie doing House when you look at his horse's ass character in Blackadder.

BA and Red Dwarf are my clear faves. Working on getting the Monty Python series and Jeeves and Wooster.

EDIT: Changed Pyton to Python.

Spooks is a good drama. I believe it is on the shelves here titled as MI5

Yeah, I quite liked Spooks, I have some friends in the business (not MI5/6) and they were saying it's pretty realistic in some respects and very unrealistic in others. I might re-download to watch it again. Have you seen all of The Wire? I love that show, I've almost finished watching S3 and knowing there's only two more seasons to go is rather upsetting. Also, Game of Thrones S2 is slated for release in April.

[Otaku]

Only thing I don't like about Spooks is they keep killing off the main characters in order to slot new ones.

I liked the blond guy...then they killed him off in the 8th season.
I like the English blond chick that looks like a bird...killed her off.
The young Indian dude was pretty cool...killed him off.

Now, Hustle, that's a good show!

sure, it`s completely different, especially the voice

Hulu and pirating for me. Haven't used a disc in a long long time.
