I think I need to get this. Looking at their site, is Cemetary Man as good as it looks in the trailer?

I bought red rock west as a blind buy and it kicked a ton of rear end. Great time.

The fact this video is all 100% factual at the time of making is insane

My Godzilla vs Biollante 4K arrived yesterday afternoon. It's in one of the slim-ish 4K cases, albeit a one-disc one. While purchasing some two-disc replacement 4K cases from Vinegar Syndrome to combine the package with the Biollante blu-ray to make it a 4K+Blu-Ray set, I also blind-bought Luz. I hope it's decent. edogawa rando fucked around with this message at 22:03 on Mar 28, 2024 |

Anyone on the fence about the Bruceploitation collection should know that there's like 100 of these films and not all of them are any good but most of them either have some weird poo poo that makes them worth watching like Bruce Lee vs Dracula or 3 cloned Bruces together, or enough good moves from genre greats like Bolo and Hwang Jang Lee. Some are straight up solid martial arts flicks, some are train wrecks for beer and pizza night and this collection has a good spread of both it looks like. The Cameroon Connection looks super interesting, and Big Boss II was always MIA on home video. Plus they use a ton of pirated classic funk/disco music in their soundtracks.

I don't have anything as fancy as "an account on blu-ray.com" but I can tell you my Jellyfin server only has 527 movies on it, along with 74 TV shows, which I am trying to correct. It is a mix of DVD, Blu-ray and UHD though, and it also doesn't count the ~10 disks that sadly wouldn't rip (including a couple of 4Ks with no decryption keys), and at least 10 TV shows I haven't transcoded yet.

I'm not sure how to post my collection from the Blu ray app, but it says I have 123 movies and shows. I've been trying to keep it around 125 for space reasons. To all of you who are just starting out, you will lose control of it. You will have over 200 and you will love it.

pwn posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5OHUiIsiU6w I think a big unarticulated source of dissatisfaction with streaming is how passive it is. Back in the day it felt liberating to have access to such a huge library of movies and show. But now the library isn't so huge, and gets rotated through pretty quickly. So if you have Netflix you just watch whatever's on Netflix. That's not a great feeling, especially in a society where so much of who you are is defined by what you consume. Buying physical media feels like an act of agency compared to streaming. You are making choices and defining yourself.

The videos on her channel average around 1,000 views, but that video has 166,000 views. Become a bluray influencer, minimalist lady. The universe demands it.

That's not a great feeling, especially in a society where so much of who you are is defined by what you consume. Watching whatever happens to be on is nothing new. Whether it was the whole family gathering around the radio to flip between the 3 options in their area, or the ABC saturday night movie, or paying for an HBO subscription when it was shiny and new, or catching whatever was showing at the $2 theater down the road a year or two after its original release, or just passively watching reruns until they turned into infomercials. Today it's incredible that I can watch whatever I want whenever I want, no matter how specific my mood or niche my taste, even if most people don't operate that way. Between my collection of physical media, a vast array of options in digial rentals, people uploading a bunch of old obscure things to YouTube, the ability to hop on an SVOD service one month at a time, and easily-access sketchy streaming video sites a quick Google away, I have the ultimate freedom of choice right now, in a way that nobody ever has before. The problem isn't nearly as significant as you're making it out to be. Physical media is great and all, and I love that I have quick access to all my favorites movies and shows in extremely high quality whenever I want, but purchasing discs isn't an act of anticapitalist defiance or bravely bucking social norms.

I think you can definitely boil things down to two kinds of people, or I guess three kinds of people if we count those that just don't watch movies at all. But of those that do watch movies, you have those that will get the itch to rewatch specific movies, and those that really don't care to rewatch movies at all. Me and my father are on different sides of that fence. I'll be just going about my day and things will happen or moods will strike me where I'll say "hmmm I really have a desire right now to watch Movie X, I think I'll do that when I get home". For that situation, it's really nice to have an extensive movie collection because it allows me to go with the flow of those moods without having to worry about stuff being available to stream. My father on the other hand, he will never ever just decide to sit down and rewatch a movie he's seen before. Just doesn't happen. If he catches a movie he's seen before on TV, he'll maybe stop and watch a scene or two, then continue channel surfing. It just doesn't appeal to him to make a point of rewatching something he's already seen. To him, a movie night is about choosing something new to watch, rewatching something is a waste of time. So for someone like that its tough to understand the appeal of keeping physical media because if he had my collection he'd hardly ever use it. And there are a lot of people who feel that way, and streaming is still perfectly fine for them. If my father feels like watching a new movie he has a thousand options and he's never going to run out of choices, so he's happy.

I never said it was. It's entirely an act within capitalism and social norms, it's defining yourself by what you consume. But it feels more active than streaming. And you're right that watching whatever's on isn't new, but as soon as other options became available people jumped on them.
