Star Trek The Motionless Picture through The Undiscovered Country plus The Captain's Summit for 7.50$. That's decent

For god’s sakes man, put the discs in order!

Unfortunately, he bought the motionless pictures so they can't be moved, that's why he got them so cheap.

Well, at least the stills are in glorious 1080p

Hmm, or are they already sorted by quality?

(Wait, I see now that 5 is ahead of 6, so scrap that theory)

LOL I did that right after I posted. I also leveled the labels...

I had never heard of The Captains' Summit

Star Trek: The Captains' Summit is a Paramount Pictures Star Trek documentary which was released on Blu-ray video on 12 May 2009 and later on DVD. It was produced for inclusion in the Star Trek: Original Motion Picture Collection Blu-ray and DVD sets as a separate bonus disc.

Whoopi Goldberg hosted William Shatner, Patrick Stewart, Leonard Nimoy, and Jonathan Frakes in a seventy-minute round-table discussion centered around performing the role of a Starfleet captain.

The actors recounted many anecdotes regarding the production of their respective Star Trek projects and the aftermath following their tenure as captain.

Me neither. Sounds boring TBH.

I have never watched Star Trek and yet I think the round table sounds interesting.

I don't know what this says about me.

[–] hopesdead@startrek.website 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Wtf, only two of those people had played captains at the time.

[–] ramble81@lemm.ee 5 points 11 months ago

Jonathan Frakes was Captain of the Enterprise is multiple episodes, usually alternate timelines or when he was kidnapped. He’d also had to assume the captains role when Picard was incapacitated. I think it was similar for Nemoy too.

Now you just need to stock up on players.

Way ahead of you! I have a Bluray player with S-Video out and a DVD player with HDMI, I have every weird possibility covered. If you want to watch Blurays on a Commodore 1084 monitor, I'm your guy!

This might be the most arousing piece of text I've ever read

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 2 points 11 months ago

It's amazing I'm single hm?

[–] AtariDump@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Or rip the discs.

Libredrive and MakeMKV are your friend.

A proper png with transparency applied correctly, so that it still looks good with dark mode enabled? That is a good Link!

Me too! I got the Next Generation movies as well in a similar set. Half Price Books is great for my shelves but terrible for my wallet.

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 months ago

That's why I thrift. The combination of being single and having no life gives me the time needed to hoard other people's castoffs. What a life.
