Any chance they will ever release this on 4K?

I heard that people that got the bivalent vaccine had a good chance of not spreading the virus to others in case they contracted covid. Perhaps that's the case here?

In part you're describing my relationship with Disney+. I don't pay a dime for it (it's a credit card perk) and whenever I feel that a new release is gonna be "lukewarm," I just wait for it to drop on D+. Why bother going to the movies for something that is not that exciting? But, on the other...

But I think that unless you can quantify "average consumers," it's hard to say how many of those people would be narrow-minded to the point of not switching to DVDs once they realized quality was just much better and the format was just so much more convenient to deal with. We cannot discuss...

As I've said "more than a decade ago" and I didn't suggest any legal mesures.

At this point, who cares really... this shoulda been done more than a decade ago. Now it doesn't matter as I think people don't even buy DVD players anymore.

Also, to add to your observations: I see some resentment now towards 4K UHD when people exclaim: I'm not buying all the movies I already own again. That's a legitimate reasoning. But not a reason to deny this market to keep on flourishing. If people really wanna see how DVDs "suck," you really...

✌🏻 Can you talk about "the insane manner?" I'm really curious as to what you do with it. 👍🏻

Ouch. A little too harsh? Joshua was just sharing his experience dealing with a tool that claimed DVD and Blu-ray were the very same in terms of quality as being an absolute truth and proven science. The "crassest" word he used was "clown." I don't think censoring is the way to go. It's not as...

That's exactly my experience. I had to get a new MBA because I couldn't really afford a Pro at the time, plus I wasn't doing anything that "pro" that demanded a powerhouse laptop. I had to edit a video using my MBA and the rendering was so fast, but so fast, that I wondered why a bunch of...

Full article here. We discussed the shutdown here.

I hope it's okay to ask about subtitles on D+ here (instead of the Streaming Frustrations thread 😂): In the very rare instances I use subtitles on D+, I never have a problem toggling with Subtitle Styling. I can pick font, color (both for font and background), and my TV always keep my selection...

As per an article from NYT I read months ago, this is not a pandemic of the unvaccinated anymore... people are still getting sick but the ones perishing are the ones that were affected most at the beginning of this nightmare: the older population. Yes, people that are ignorant enough to remain...

I think Amazon has also broken our brains in what concerns shipping: we (even though I know I cannot speak for everyone) feel it's weird when we have to pay for shipping. I dunno if it's just me but the words "free shipping" sometimes make me more inclined to consider buying something. Still...

Very pertinent comment with thoughtful observations. I've been there but the bigger issue is that it's not just an Amazon problem since that also happens on other platforms that allow "marketplace." It's expected that whatever company that runs a platform of the kind will reimburse me in case of...

From mediaplaynews.com: As if collectors didn't have enough problems already...

I've met people like that. Generally people that didn't want to share nem bands they were listening to because they wanted to feel as if those acts belonged to them or some other idiotic explanation. As if they were more special or knowledgeable for knowing that indie band whatever existed...

Okay, so be it. I was just doing broad estimation in order to say that, as soon as Blu-ray became an option, DVD should have ceased to exist. But then I myself pointed out the costs to license the format, etc.

I'd also go with 'No' as most (if not all) of you. However... ... I've said something similar to what the writer from TrustedReviews wrote - but like YEARS ago. So his article feels dated to me. If the format had been discontinued more than 20 years ago, perhaps Blu-ray would have taken over...

I'm also late to the party and must ask: is this the reason why I've stopped receiving emails with the most popular topics of the week? Maybe this was addressed many posts ago, so I hope you don't mind me asking.

"Thank you, Mattie" That's my favorite line - even though he didn't say it in the movie, he did say that directly to me - in person - when I visited him in his planet. And if you think I'm lying, I dare you to prove me wrong since I have proof of my visit to Universal Studios FL in 1996.

I agree with things you're saying and with things most on here say about studios wanting to push streaming. What I think is a factor for them to not be against home video is the fact that media is not stale and there will always be new productions that will push people to get a subscription at...

I'd not mind - yet again - adopting a new format. Perhaps because I'm still young and also because I never collected things as if there was no tomorrow and have bought only things I absolutely love. I only ever had a VCR (that were my parents), then one DVD player (that I was able to sell) and...

I wouldn't expect something like this to happen with one of the 3 big networks. But if it is happening, wow, times are changing and changing fast. Live TV seems the way to go but I still hope premieres happen on TV. Plus OTA has a much better quality than cable.

Hey @Nelson Au, have you checked Apple's article How to clean your Apple products? I've followed their directions and have no regrets. In terms of alcohol, Apple recommends 70-percent isopropyl alcohol, but per my experience I have always used 99.8-percent isopropyl (and a bunch of electronics...

I'm still sad about her passing. ONJ will always have a special place in my heart and I just have so many good memories from watching Grease over and over. I wasn't born when the movie came out, but I do remember the first time my parents showed it to me and it instantly became one of my...

Wow what a super nice thread/post. Thank you so much for sharing. I never get to really see much of that era. Fantastic!

If Sony allowed people to download their movies to their computers, that would have been a better way to end this story. "The movie is in your computer and now you care for it," is basically what they'd be saying. Now, the only thing that must be taken in consideration here is the fact that...

Jeez... really? "You deserve to _____" in general never rings as anything else but rude. It's basically celebrating some else's misfortune.
