Hercules-the Legendary Journeys
Topiary spent some weekend time viewing the DVD Hercules: The Legendary Journeys.Topiary longs for a time when good guys looked like this, all women were beautiful, and bad guys were easily discernible by their overall badness or their unmistakable monster resemblance.
Also, Topiary likes it when a "two-day's journey" meant: on foot. Instead of being closed up in a car for hours going to work and back, and the grocery store, and everywhere, people walked.
Moo!

And it cost a nickel. And we were thankful to have it!
Sorry, couldn't resist.
And in my day, we'd have to rewind Hercules videotapes to watch them! ...None of this high-falooting menu options you all have now with your DVDs!
Yeah, yeah....and we walked through drifts of snow to get to school...I get your point, Sir Dog! Moo!
Actually, Cow was discussing with an elderly relative this weekend about why the beach-front house was let go during the depression. Grandma couldn't afford the $350 taxes, and you couldn't rent out beach property for income because nobody lived there year-round.
Sorry about the trip down mem'ry lane!
Moo!
Hey, snazzy icon, Super M!
Cow admits to a fondness for videos because you could put one in and not have to mess with it for six hours. DVD's are always needing you to go back to the menu and pick another option.
Cow would like a "play all" option on each DVD where you could just pop it in and forget it.
Moo!
Vinyls, 8-track, cassette, CDs...
now with music being mostly digital, CDs will become a thing of the past
ah...what does tomorrow hold?
Does Topiary like a few natural tufts on her male heroes? Or does she prefer them to shave their bodies and apply oil?
Gorillas already meet all the requirements for good-guys, AND good-looking. No shaving required.
Moo!
I miss the days when cassette tapes were all people used. But that's only because that's what came in my car, and I'm too cheap and lazy to install a better stereo.
[sigh]
8-track? Is that a slang drug term?
LOL J/K!!!
My first record was Madonna's Like a Virgin and Alvin and the Chipmunk's Christmas Album.
I played them on my Smurf record player :)
Movies were on Super 8mm, so long as you could find a bulb for the projector and the fat kid could stand in the window.
And we played our gramophone records on Dansette record players (just like a picnic hamper in sexy vinyl colour). Unless it was Serious Music, which involved putting twelve LPs on the spike of the radiogram and balancing the playing arm with half a brick.
Try as you might with a kettle of boiling water, you can't make a decent plant pot out of a compact disc.
Cow is inspired to find new uses to vinyl.
Moo!
