The LOTR steelbooks were/are $10 higher than the regular edition 4ks, but the Black Widow steelbook is just $5 more than the regular edition, which is typical for Marvel and other films.

That's right. I have two functioning VCRs, but the last VHS tape I can think of that I bought was The Phantom Menace and that was 20 years ago! I'm sure there are others that were released after that, but that's the last high profile VHS release AFAIK.

I realize I am (mostly) preaching to the choir here, but... Today my kids asked about the movie Elf. One of them had seen it in school a few years ago and the other had never seen it. Can we watch it? they asked. So I said, sure, let's search the streaming services and see where it is. I...
