I had to leave my house temporarily during the California wildfires over a year ago and let me say since then I have found a new appreciation for the digital codes that often come with Blu-rays, but also a binder is looking good to me now.

CPL593H posted:They sit in the blu-ray cases forever until one ..until one year California mega-wildfires started and became a yearly threat. My modest collection, though highly valued personally, would be left behind in an emergency; I can find space for my tablet though. After the first major fire scare I got out all my digital codes I had and redeemed them all. It sucks, digital is convenient but I still prefer physical media for movies/tv, but I try to stick to blurays that come with digital copies now.

Is the Kino Lorber edition (theatrical) of The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly considered the best one?

tonedef131 posted:What’s up with these virtual movie download codes in my physical media thread I still prefer to buy bluray discs, but if there's no bluray/digital combo available, only having an HD digital copy is perfectly fine and I'll be on the lookout for cheap digital deals; but I also really appreciate it when a goon like Uncle Lloyd shares a code they don't want for a movie that I'd like to have available free of streaming subscriptions. I had to be mandatory evacuated a second time last year for CA wildfires and at least if the worst happens in the future I'll have a digital copy available. Otherwise special movies I'll still buy disc only, even if there's no digital copy (or if the disc is ridiculously cheap). I don't think I'd ever go full digital like with ebooks but as an option and a backup I'm glad it's there.

Wasn't a lot of the Warner Archive media on demand printing? If Amazon is getting rid of media on demand wouldn't that also include the Warner stuff that got moved over?

Iron Crowned posted:That's not limited to just Prime, a lot of them do it. The advertisements are crystal clear every damned time on ad based services somehow. I would bet some goddamn BEAN COUNTERS calculated they can save some money on bandwidth from people starting and stopping one show after another trying to decide what to watch before sticking with something long enough to it to go full HD. It's pretty frustrating and I think Prime Video is the worst of all them I've tried. But if it's a movie I really care about I probably have it on bluray anyways.

Like in every other Indiana Jones movie Indy is a skeptic and dismissive of the purported power of whatever ancient artifact he's after, and he turns to a believer by the end and that belief is what saves him; but Crystal Skull he buys it all from the beginning, it felt off. However it has been years and years since I've seen any of them but that's what I remember not liking about Crystal Skull.

Spacebump posted:Gravity is the most fun and I can’t believe I haven’t mentioned it in a previous post. I don’t think I could ever watch that in 2d. In 3d it was like a theme park ride. Seconding Gravity, it was incredible in 3D. I wish I could see it in 3D again.

david_a posted:I do think it’s weird that they would include Blu-Ray copies but not the special features stuff. I don’t really understand the thinking behind that one. For a time I had only a DVD player but started buying bluray/dvd combos because I knew I was going to upgrade soon-ish, and some of those combos I knew I'd rather have it on bluray; and now I'm in the same position, I have a bluray player only but I'm considering buying some of the 4kUHD/bluray combos for movies I know I'd like to have in higher quality when I get around to upgrading. Only select DVD movies I rebought on bluray and the same will go for 4K UHD, so the combo packs are very convenient.

Kingtheninja posted:How do you watch paramount digital copies? I wasn't really planning on messing with anything other than movies anywhere but I've built up a decent paramount collection now. Can you use the paramount+ app to watch them? When you redeem through Paramount’s site they may or may not give you a choice of providers, I think it’s usually limited to Vudu or iTunes.

Hasturtium posted:I’m still running a 1080p set I bought nearly a decade ago, and am still happy with Blu’s. A 4K upgrade is inevitable but there are a dozen things I need to put money toward before that’s going to happen, barring the TV suddenly dying, and I don’t fancy getting a 4K player when I have a region-free Blu-Ray player as it stands. It just isn’t a priority for me. I went from my old plasma 42" 720p tv to a 50" 4k tv early this year and re-watching some of my blu-rays look crazy good to me; some purchases since then have been 4k/Bluray combo packs for the future when I may get a new console to use as a player, but I don't see myself upgrading my blurays to UHD beyond select favorites. Chris James 2 posted:https://twitter.com/flanaganfilm/status/1545066913465860096?s=20&t=wOc9G18iWQ0dncg00hMWZQ At least the streaming services put out some of their exclusives on disc. I started occasionally buying digital a couple years ago and I'll keep rolling that dice; spending $5 for on demand access to a movie I like but not enough to buy a disc is a good dopamine hit and sometimes I actually watch the movie. Though I stay to the iTunes and amazon storefronts, I think they're the unlikeliest to close

I buy DVDs for older TV shows that don't give you the option, but I was surprised at how good the Shout Factory (relatively) recent-ish DVD releases for The High Chaparral looked, no bluray quality is fine for this, and DVDs are generally cheaper.

Heavy Metal posted:I've been digging spaghetti westerns lately, rewatched Once Upon a Time in the West and Django, hadn't seen those in a zillion years. Too good. Following those up with some I hadn't seen before, enjoyed The Mercenary a while back. More Franco Nero and Lee Van Cleef flicks naturally. If you haven't already check out Lee Van Cleef in Death Rides a Horse

I'm not a horror person at all but once long ago, in the before times, I caught Cemetery Man on TV and it was so weird but compelling, made me buy the DVD so I could share it with a friend; glad to see it is getting re-released, now I need to go see if I can find my old DVD.
