You crazy Americans with your steering wheels on the wrong side of every car.

It's so confusing! No wonder people park on driveways and drive on parkways!

There's definitely a streaming ceiling people will be willing to pay. Then maybe these companies will actually have to start competing on service and price again. I wonder if people will start to have enough of streaming and just go back to physical media? Blu-Ray players are getting really cheap and the quality is really nice When Russia's most terrifying weapon can be dubbed 'Satan 2' we must really be in the end times. Satan 2 sounds like a sequel to a film that nobody liked and no one wanted to see a continuation of

If it is something I will watch multiple times then I buy it as a DVD. Streaming is ok for one time viewing.

Yes, some posts were deleted as a number of them had been reported by various sources to the Mod Squad and it was felt better to rip up the entire conversation by the root rather than leave any remnants that might sprout further conflict.
There are CCF community rules that need to be adhered to and standards that need to be enforced.
If there are any questions, comments, or concerns about this decision, please feel free to PM any member of the Mod Squad. Do not post them here.

Streaming has the disadvantage that it can also be captured. As soon as the top dollar movies hit HBO Max or Disney they are uploaded on file sharing sites within minutes and pirated in brilliant 4KHD. Which doesn't bode well for movies which are still in theaters.

One thing I like about physical media are the extras. Here in the UK, distributors like 88mph and Indicator do some great DVDs, with great extras: booklets, audio commentaries, documentaries, etc. Even for obscure films.
There was a time when it felt like some mainstream studios were being lazy. Here’s ya Planet of the Apes DVD - with ‘scene selection’ and a ‘trailer’ as extras…

This morning my wife and I were abruptly awakened by a loud BRRRRRRRT! The bird from hell was back!
It's a good thing we don't have immediate neighbours, because some kid might have told their parents "Mom! Dad! there's a crazy guy outside in his pajamas, shooting potato chunks at a woodpecker with a slingshot!"
That kind of fame I don't need.
