I talked about it here. There are so many videos on YouTube of people usually young, showing off their video collection.
Look at me, I have a vast collection… I’m better than you! That’s basically the point of so many of these videos.
They are mostly young people, but a few… not so much. Seems odd that he has so many Frozen video’s in his collection. Is that movie he enjoys watching? Maybe they’re for his grand or great grand children. On the other hand it looks like he has both the DVD & Blu-Ray versions of the first movie. I don’t think a kid would say oh darn DVD, wheres the Blu-Ray version? That seems more like what a grown collector would do.
Now I do have one movie that could sound slightly embarrassing (as a guy) in my collection… Heidi made in 1939, staring Shirley Temple. Now I guess you can try and justify anything. So here is my justification. I first watched this on a B&W TV in the early 1960s as a young boy not a grown man. If I remember correctly there was a time, maybe early Sunday afternoon where they showed old Shirley Temple movies, on TV. And that’s when I saw it. Today especially, I can still relate to Heidi’s grouchy old grandfather, who really didn’t want anything to do with her or people in general, when she was first dumped in his lap. But she slowly endeared herself to him. And he was ready to go to the ends of the earth and kick ass if necessary to get her back when she was taken from him. Add to that, Heidi teaches a girl in a wheelchair to walk. And they revealed it as a present to her father on Christmas. I mean… come on. So I have a certain nostalgia about that movie and it really was a good story.
Also the story of this young girl, Shirley Temple, basically saving a major movie studio, I find fascinating. I thought I remembered that fact and I asked Grok “Did Shirley Temple save a movie studio?”
Yes, Shirley Temple is widely credited with saving Fox Film Corporation (which became 20th Century Fox) from bankruptcy during the Great Depression.
Temple's upbeat, optimistic musicals and comedies provided much-needed escapism for cash-strapped audiences. President Franklin D. Roosevelt famously praised her, noting that for just 15 cents, people could see her smiling face and forget their troubles. From 1935 to 1938, she was Hollywood's top box-office draw—outranking stars like Clark Gable—raking in millions for the studio through ticket sales, merchandise (like dolls), and related products.
As a grown man I have no desire to watch Frozen. I guess there are worse things people can do. It’s a harmless hobby.
