    To those of you who suggested heavy duty Uhaul boxes for the move, are they stackable? My new storage shelves have had their shipment delayed due to the holidays and so I'm gonna have boxes upon boxes in my new 1200 sq foot condo (and am adding a roommate to make buying work, so I can't just...

    I've always been a film junkie and letterbox has made it worse. As has shifting to buying 4ks instead of records because they take up less space and are less $. I see about 20 films a year in Theater because it's affordable to do so in Chicago and then have access to a server (run by a friend...

    I've posted my list at several points, so at the risk of drowning people in my opinions, and not having seen but anticipating that I'll love A Real Pain, the Brutalist, Babygirl and Nickel Boys-- the films that I've given a 3.5 or higher (out of 52 seen) are: 1. I Saw the TV Glow 2. Anora 3...

    See, the irony is that I enjoy most of Verhoeven's films (even Show Girls) because the camp is in the name of satire. Same reason I've defended Southland Tales at several points on here. But I do think that is probably the comp. As somebody whose been on a bit of a 70's bender this year, I'd...

    I can't remember why, because it was a long time ago, but I found Blow Put medicore. Maybe because I found it campy? I know it's reputation though. I've never liked Mission Impossible, to the point that the first two put me off from watching the rest of the series. Something I keep meaning to...

    As somebody who generally hate De Palma (Carlitos way being the only exception), should I watch Scarface or will I just be rolling my eyes the whole time?

    Rewatched Babylon in 4k tonight. First time seeing it since theaters. Most underrated film of the decade.

    My mom has been binging Oprah's Xmas list and I think I would take that shitty ghost rom com with Reese and Ruffalo over watching Carry-On again.

    That's definitely a bold vibe. Feels like a shelf that would be in the background of a QT movie

    Carry-On was so fucking dumb. The fact that it's blowing up is an inditement on American culture. Damn, that might be the most pretentious thing I've ever typed on this site. And I'm self aware enough to know I'm a hipster ****.

    Thanks for the help Mike. Wound up going with two of these with an added base to raise it off the ground a bit. Pricey but still probably the best bang for my buck I'm gonna find and solves all my needs. https://shop.mapleshadestore.com/4-Row-Oak-Eleganza-Shelf_p_1489.html

    Their website is kinda of confusing to navigate. It appears all of the shelves are 84' tall, correct? I did you go with 48' long (I know you said 15' deep) or combine two that are 48' long. I'd lean towards the later if I were to go this route. The other option I'm considering, was suggested...

    How much did they used to be? The ones I was eying are 3 high and basically $500. 27" wide. Which means x2 of them is about 28" extra on the Kallax

    @MikeH Those look intriguing. Could double the order (on a 1x3) and add the walnut finish and be at 1k + taxes. And be adding space on the Kallax.

    Been using an Ikea Kallax (4x2) laying horizontally for 3 years. However, I just bough a condo and am gonna need a new solution. The new spot is larger BUT buying required adding a roommate. And she has a fish tank that I need to make room for. Additionally, there is a fire place that takes up a...

    This one is looking like my best bet. The 40", three level should be about the same amount of storage as the Kallax. Adding 8 inches would make it a nearly 3k investment though. https://www.departmenthome.com/products/3-x-2-record-storage-cabinet

    Moving after buying a condo. Have been using a 2 by 4 Kallax that is gonna be a little too big (horizontally speaking) for my new spot. I believe the Kallax are 58 inches long. I need something closer to 50 inches long and then 3 or four shelves high. I know that means I'm gonna have to drop...

    Best Music 🎶 of 2024!

    I don't love Manning FIreworks quite as much as some people (though I do really enjoy it). That said, I saw Lenderman play the block party for my Chicago neighborhood right before that album dropped and he was excellent live. At the time I did not realize he is Wednesday's guitarist (maybe just...
