Online Shopping, Ixnay Retail (Continued)

I'm curious how our (American, Canadian) affluent-level shopping habits are changing.

I am a member of Amazon Prime and Costco, Netflix, and Google music and data storage. I like the latter because it serves up my purchased-earlier music, and adds/augments based on what they think I "might" like (taste profile).

"So what." I don't go to retail stores much anymore. This happened subtly, past ten years or less (probably past five, more-so)....

Maborosi (1995), Kore-eda Hirokazu

Posted 04-28-2015 at 08:34 AM by oeccscclhjhn (I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore.)

With Maborosi (aka Maboroshi no Hikari), I have now seen all of Kore-eda Hirokazu's feature films. It hasn't been easy. At least Maborosi and Distance are out of print. Quite a few were non-region 1 dvds from Amazon.uk, and a couple from Amazon.jp. Every one of them were ★★★★ out of 5 stars or greater. I cannot wait for his latest, Our Little Sister (2015) aka Umimachi Diary (a Japanese josei manga (manga for women)), which I just heard about today, which is selected for the Palme d'Or at 2015 Cannes....
