Totally blame all y’all for this
Thanks to this sub I’m now the proud owner of “The Thorn Birds” on DVD and a personal DVD player (for the first time in 18 years). So many of my ancestors are in the afterlife screaming “HERESY!!!!!” but my grandmothers are going “that’s hot” 😂

Why did you blame the sub, and why'd you need a portable player? (i missed what this was about, and reddit just now suggested your post)

There was a “Thorn Birds” posting here like weeks before I posted this, and I got obsessed with all the info on it after that I fell into a “Thorn Birds” hole and really wanted to see it, but the hubs hates Richard Chamberlain with a passion and said nothing starring him would ever grace our TV so I got the portable DVD player so I could watch it 😂

Ah, cheers. 😅 It maybe doesn't help _now_, but most computers (desktops, laptops) can also play DVD's.

I unashamedly love this miniseries. The Australian outback! Barbara Stanwyck! Forbidden love! Bizarre mother/son relationships that would make Oedipus blush!

Oh Frank 😭 Haven’t been introduced to Dane yet but I have a strong feeling that’s going to be more than a little interesting 🤔

My grandma once told me and my sister how much she loved this show. A few years later, we got her the DVD for Christmas, and opening it in front of her husband and all her children, she said she'd never heard of it. She's gone now, and I never had a chance to ask her about it, but I think we all know the truth. . . 😂

I’ve found my people. 🤣. I just watched this through again, for the millionth time, when I was home sick a few weeks ago.

I’m currently sick and watching it for the first time! Well, the whole thing anyway. The previous posts inspired me to find clips, which I did, and it was awesome

I remember hearing about this movie and my devoutly Catholic (but somehow already thrice divorced) single mother went on a whole campaign to keep it far far away from me and my school. I should check it out now >:)

What kind of portable DVD player is that? I got an onn, but I'm always looking to see if I can upgrade. 🧐🤔

https://a.co/d/7M4Ja0w Not sure how I feel about it yet, I was used to the old school bricks and getting a trusted name brand, but so far so good. Doesn’t play blue ray or use Bluetooth headphones though. Rotating screen is nice.

Does she have narcolepsy?

It would appear so 😂 or maybe Richard Chamberlain makes her faint 😂

This book absolutely destroyed me. The unrequited love is beautiful and terrible and heartbreaking.

This was a friend's sexual awakening as a tween and she is still obsessed with it.
