I'm going to neg you without comment for asking a genuine question
I have about 60 different Walkman. Just bought the last group of 10 a few weeks ago.
We actually kept a boombox just in case this ever was released.
Cassettes becoming trendy is so stupid. I understand the logic for records, they sound ‘unique’ because of the needle.
Cassettes don’t sound ‘unique’, they just sound exactly like a CD just at a much lower quality.
It's some plastic to put on your shelf next to your funko pops. Slayyyyyyy
So more pointless plastic crap for millennials and zoomers to buy whilst also claiming to care about the environment. Got it.
Idk I just think it's neat
@Drpepper666: funko pops literally had that situation where they made way too many too fast and couldnt sell them quick enough, so it was costing the company a tonne of money just to store them in warehouses.
so they just dumped them into the environment. details seem to be murky but yeah basically it cost them less to dump them then store them so that's what they did.glad I never got into that dumb collector trend.
Somehow by purchasing this, the astute buyer will be seen as progressive
Having the media on a USB, similar to those Panda USB sticks with the removable head would have made more sense. They'd sell better too. At least you can reuse/repurpose it and put your own files on.
Put it up next to your Beta collection

Hipsters will say anything to justify the existence of records.
I have no interest in records, but I can at least kind of understand it (partially).
Vinyl records sound really good man
No they different, not good.
Depends on what people like. Nice small physical copy to carry around.
Seems new pre recorded tapes are pretty poor and no Dolby either.
I used to have a pretty flash modular Denon deck, Dolby gave things a bit of a muddy sound, cut a tiny bit of hiss but overall preferred the hiss
Dolby B was a bit like that sometimes. And some decks would top out at 15kHz so pretty low.
Dolby C and Dolby S were really good.I’ve got a deck that takes the tapes audio, converts to digital, removes the noise, then back to analogue. It’s pretty close to CD for S/N.
@0jay: On the fly. It’s a pioneer deck, they had only a couple of models that did this. As far as I know no other makers did this.
Like CD players have a DAC, this cassette deck had a ADC and DAC.
@0jay: I bought it a few years ago, second hand. I never knew about these models until I saw a YouTube about it.
They were a 90s model, later tech for cassettes.I know it’s not as great as a Tandberg or Nakamichi but it’s still really good. Can’t remember the model number, I have it packed away with all other cassette players while we clear up and renovate our home a bit.
@PVA: it's been a very long time since i owned any pioneer equipment but i always found it to be really good. they pitched for folks looking for value and you really got your moneys worth and then some in my experience
About the same as tapes of yesteryear, recorded on the lowest quality available.
Not really. Maybe more about the quality of the bootlegs you’d get from Bali in the 80s and 90s
It was a weird movie. Wife and I weren't fans of the whole gender war narrative and some inappropriate comments. Our kids couldn't relate so we turned it off. Also turned our daughter off Barbie toys tbh.
There is some irony they are trying to sell this on cassette to appeal to nostalgia.
The movie had good visuals but an absolutely abhorrent story. We turned it off without finishing it.
It really was. According to wife, every parent at school group said they turned this off. To sit there and try to explain disfunctional on-screen resentment and bitterness between Gosling and Robbie to well-adjusted kids is cringe…
Avoid this dumpster fire if unless you're raising your kids to blame others, and get validation by getting one up on the opposite sex.
An absolute stinker that succeeds in one goal: to make parents grab the remote.
Daddy chill
it's not a kids' film tbh
@buffalo bill: the opening of the film, with the kid smashing the doll on the rock was a short made by the director as a pitch to get funding to produce the finished product. it's an art school project, it's steeped in cultural theory from go to woe.
@0jay: That opening scene is some sort of homage to 2001: A space odyssey. Lol Will Ferrell demonstrating cultural theory with not a laugh to be had in this movie. It's as empty as Barbie's head.
That's not really my question regarding the target audience though.
@buffalo bill: yes, 2001 (not a homage so much as a reference). if the opening seems a bit out of place that's why - it's not part of the film itself as such, it was made as the pitch to raise money to produce a script.
so cultural theory encompasses feminist and gender theory (using the term very loosely). the substance of the movie is about speaking to that literature. it's what makes it an interesting project. matel got on board and more or less let the creatives run with their idea.
so you have a toy company, whose main priority is to produce a promotional vehicle for their intellectual property and a creative team who are interested in exploring their theoretical interests using this iconic ip as vehicle for their project.
this is why it's interesting and this is why it's confusing to some.
if you're looking for a marketing category as distinction from a children's film, it's made for a general audience, most of whom will understand a lot of what's being alluded to even if they're not personally familiar with the literature animating the narrative.
Yeah movie was garbage, like most movies in the last 5-10 years
Hollywood has gone to sh!t with their woke agenda and inability to take any risks. That is why we are getting sequels to movies from 20 years ago that no one wanted and remakes that are terrible when compared to the original.
funny you should talk about risk taking re this movie in particular as this was a huge risk for matel to sign off on, very much a fundamental departure from the usual middle of the road approach to most films made from well established mainstream ip
Does anyone still have a cassette player though?
