In my time with physical media, I can only recall 1 time the dvd didn't work. If anything I lost more dvds through accidental breakage.

[Daniel Friedman @DanFriedman81]

Before streaming, I was a big DVD collector. I bought nearly a thousand movies. I thought I was building a library. And I will tell you a secret:

DVDs rot.

The glue that holds the layers together can become opaque so the laser doesn’t read the disc properly or it can simply degrade so the disc falls apart or it can warp or expand so the disc won’t spin properly in the drive.

So, in addition to needing to keep antique hardware with delicate moving parts in working order to play these games or watch these movies, the media itself is degrading.

Yeah, your purchased digital movie might get deleted from the network over rights issues at some point in the future or the service that provides it might shut down. But if you buy a BluRay and put it on a shelf for five years and then decide to watch it, there is a decent chance it won’t work.

I love a beautiful Criterion movie box set or a game with cool box art and a manual as much as the next guy, but people overly romanticize physical media. The universe is governed by entropy and everything is falling apart.

BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA was released 40 years ago today.

It struggled at the box office after opening just weeks behind ALIENS, but years of home video and cable TV gave it a second life, turning John Carpenter’s action-fantasy into cult classics.

Why would you release a big budget movie the week after Toy Story and during the world cup? Hollywood is stupid.

[Skeletor Enthusiast @CMTowns]

One of Hollywood's downfalls is simply dating films. Hollywood always wa to a big summer release and will ignore the signs.

@WorldOfTigra Don't forget it was Officer Montoya who was chasing Harley and Ivy throughout the episode and finally arrested them in the end. Montoya was another lesbian character from BTAS who was adapted to the main Batman comics and she even became the new Question.

when people talk about lightning in a bottle, this is what they mean

they put these two together as a throwaway not realizing they were literally shifting the trajectory of DC comics forever and creating a whole generation of fans

Turned on a Roger Corman flick on Tubi and it.looks ripped from a VJS recording of a television airing.

The film a day will be tougher this time around cause new GM gives me a few days a week thats morning to evening making it harder to hit up longer films. Gonna have to try films 100 minutes and under on those days.

July-November got my movies more or less set. July a full documentary month. Been meaning to watch more, and was a challenge to myself, along with my previous Western month.

[Skeletor Enthusiast @CMTowns]

The Noirvember. Need to work out my list but dumped previous lists together.

It's also amusing the only Eurovision song that people really know is ABBAs Waterloo.

[Skeletor Enthusiast @CMTowns]

Watching ABBA the movie, for various reasons, and I know this director would go on to be an Oscar nominated director but I can imagine critics at the time looking at this going "did the director need to make a movie about ABBA look this good?"
