highlandjambo3 Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 HMV = His Masters Voice………just a wee piece of useless information for the day 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankblack Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 HMV hasn't been on Princes Street for a number of years now. I stopped buying DVDs and Blu Rays (bar music ones) because I rarely watched them more than once. I have the streaming subscriptions for TV that give me new content to watch.

The record playing is his masters voice and, he can hear this through the gramophone speaker but seems confused about where his master actually is……….I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sound was so clear he couldn’t tell the difference between “his masters voice” and gramophone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazio Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 And of course the dog's name was Nipper. But you probably knew that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pap Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 I remember buying The Firm (Gary Oldman) for £17 in HMV. I had watched it years earlier with my sister when it by chance it came on TV. Absolutely loved it. About 5 days later i was in and it was £4. Was seething like. These shops took the piss big time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1971fozzy Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 I still buy discs. Now it’s the UHDs. Can’t help myself. Higher bitrates and all that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackLadd Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 I have all the films I want on disc, dvd and blurays, couple of thousand probably. Minimal interest in new pictures. Last one in HMV, don't know. I remember the first two I bought in 99 or 00 in HMV, Reservoir Dogs and Spartacus 2 for £20. This was before Amazon etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have most of my favourite films on DVD, When i mean favourite i mean films i could easily watch time and again and never get bored of them. " One flew over the cuckoos nest " " The silence of the lambs" " Hannibal" " The Grifters" and many more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adambraejambo Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Last CD from Hmv was Good deeds and dirty rags. I not sure the last Dvd but maybe Rattle and Hum from HMV. The actual last Dvd I bought was this year actually I got the first 3 seasons of Twelve Monkeys but got the 4th season on Prime. It was cheaper to buy the Dvd than watch on Prime for seasons 1-3.
