    Definitely have noticed that Hulu commercials have grown in length.

    because Millennials are into it too for some reason (and possibly because vinyl is lower volume). Believe me, unless you’re selling life alert necklaces, marketing is millennials, millennials, millennials!

    I hear you, and to be clear, it’s not the people who are indifferent to PM and like the convenience of streaming (I stream too) that I’m talking about, it’s the people who are actually critical of it and refuse to understand why a person would prefer it, and they do exist. I like PM because it...

    it’s not everybody, but believe me, from personal experience, there are plenty that don’t “get” why people collect PM. I heard the, “you’ll never watch them all and even the ones you do watch, you’ll watch only once (admittedly some truth to this)”, “they don’t appreciate in value (some OOP...

    forgive me if this has already been addressed, but i truly believe that Millennials (and many others) don’t “get” physical media and even in more extreme forms think PM is “stupid”. You can’t really change their minds. However I couldn’t resist feeling some mirth when “Friends” disappeared from...

    I’m not entirely sure about that. I don’t think the things you mention would get as mocked. People understand food, people understand bikes, nobody mocks a person who collects guitars. Nobody questions why someone who’s into photography has a bunch of different camera lenses. Nobody says to...

    Believe me, I understand the counter arguments and the very limited market for 3D but I was always dumbfounded by cutting it if there was no real cost savings advantage. What you just said may be the first time I’ve seen a technical reason cited for manufacturers cutting out 3D capability, so...

    like I said, I’ve had my balls busted many times over my preference for physical media and my collection. There really does seem to be an attitude from some that preferring physical media is stupid.

    which actually kind of proves my point. There was no cost reason that manufacturers had to kill 3D capability (ok maybe active shutter glasses cost a few extra bucks, but I don’t recall that any major manufacturer that sold 3D capable only sets). And yeah most TVs still have features that 99% of...

    I get that the market isn’t really there, but Disney is still releasing their movies in 3D theatrically in NA (I have a ticket for an IMAX 3D showing of TRoS) so, it’s not yet an entirely dead format. Disc releases are one thing, but I can’t imagine it would be that costly to dump the option on...

    Of course everything decays over time and streaming can often be very convenient. But for me, streaming is still not a 100% flawless experience. For example I did a big streaming binge on Game of Thrones via HBO GO leading to the final season. It was unwatchable on my 65” LG OLED even on a LAN...

    speaking of which, if Disney will not longer release 3D discs in North America, would it kill them to offer a 3D option on Disney+. How hard could that be?

    I never understood the people who have an actual, seeming hostility to physical media. Even friends of mine have busted my balls over my DVD/BD collection. I’ve heard stuff like “it doesn’t appreciate in value” (which isn’t even always entirely true, some OOP titles have fetched high prices on...
