maxg Posted March 27, 2002 Share Posted March 27, 2002 It stars John Cuzzack. As a film it is mildly pleasant and enjoyable but there was one scene with him in his living room sorting his albums. I have no idea how many he had there, guess 10,000. That is my target! Right now I just picked up another 20 which makes 90 altogether. 9910 to go - LOL. The good news for me is that we just found a friend of a friend that owns a record shop in central Athens. Apparently he lives for this stuff (his own collection is 25,000 records) and he is bringing in 6,000 brand new records in about 2 weeks time. He has also promised us one copy each (there are 3 of us collecting right now) of every Floyd album there is!! Not a bad haul all in all. Oh look - there is a record player in my signature. Finally something my father will recognise!! ------------------ 2 * Heresy 2 (mains) 2 * Homemade horn speakers (rears) 1 * REL Strata 3 sub Accuphase E211 amp.

rowooo Posted March 27, 2002 Share Posted March 27, 2002 Great movie...laughed all the way through it. Yes, Mdeneen Jack Black is absolutely hilarious. How do you store your C.D.'s or records? Alphabetical, numerical, autobiographical, style, color coded, what? I switch my collection all the time...that's part of the fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougdrake Posted March 27, 2002 Share Posted March 27, 2002 And as an added bonus, I believe his stereo in the movie is NAD and Klipsch!! Doug ------------------ My System Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J M O N Posted March 27, 2002 Share Posted March 27, 2002 I saw the movie. I had heard that they used Klipsch speakers in it (I think I once saw something on Ebay about it), but I wasn't able to spot the Klipsch in the movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Posted March 27, 2002 Share Posted March 27, 2002 there is a previous thread here discussing this movie, the Klipsch and the albums, sometime last year ... ------------------ Colin's Music System Cornwall 1s & Klipsch subs; lights out & tubes glowing!

Clipped and Shorn Posted March 27, 2002 Share Posted March 27, 2002 Great movie, I definitely identified, totally. By the way, I didn't know that Count Floyd made albums in vinyl ? Verry Scarrry....huh kids? -Flat-Footed and Floogied ------------------ Cornwalls currently upgrading to all tube components Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdm56 Posted March 28, 2002 Share Posted March 28, 2002 We rented the movie on vhs. (Three kids; 3, 6 & 9 -- ..."don't get around much anymore"...) I thought all the little audio-looney tidbits were spot-on and hilarious. The language, as is usually the case in films these days, was needlesly vulgar. I do like that John Cusack, though; very talented. ------------------ JDM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone Palm Posted March 28, 2002 Share Posted March 28, 2002 I enjoyed the film a whole lot. Could really relate. Been trying for Twenty-five years to make the ultimate compilation mix. Who is Count Floyd? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barista Posted March 28, 2002 Share Posted March 28, 2002 I have mine ordered alphabetically, split into categories (Rock, Jazz, Christmas, Sound Tracks, and Willie Nelson because I have so dang many of his (I had about 30 lps handed down to me from my father). Inline with the High Fidelity Theme.... So what seems to be everyones top 10 favorite vinyls in their collection? (Not ones you want to own, ones you do own) Its tough narrowing it down to 10 isn't it? I would say for me (In no order of preference); Ella & Louis (Original on Verve) Janis Joplin - Perl Credence Gold (CCR) Slayer - Devine Intervention Metallica - Master of Puppets Indigo Girls - Swamp Ophelia (Autographed) Jimi Hendrix - Axis Bold as Love Willie Nelson - Stardust Beatles - Magical Mystery Tour Nat King Cole - Christmas Song ------------------ Barista T.
