Comment on My Review of The Arena (1974)

  I used to do junk removal, and people would constantly be getting rid of boxes and boxes of DVDs and VHS tapes. I kept a couple hundred from that time, and have since added to the collection with finds at garage sales, record and book shops. Anything that I don’t have and can’t find from one of those sources, I will torrent.

  Yarrrrrrrr!

  (If you don’t have a good torrent site, message me, I use one that’s okay and has a copy.)

    Yeah, haven’t torrented since at least 2007. Getting a VPN to ditch the Internet patrol was too much of a hassle (very inforced creation protection laws where I live). Used to stream online for fee than this disappeared from the web. Then of course Netflix, which I stopped that too several years back for cause of intense shitification.

    Now I borrow movies at my local library. Tons of them. No sexploitation B-series though :-(

      Libraries usually take requests, and there are national film libraries that loan copies out to local branches. It can be a bit awkward to ask the septuagenarian at the help desk to request a copy of The Schoolgirl Report, or whatever, but they’ll do it, and with older movies, they almost always can get them.
