#dvds and blurays

[nerdby]

So I found a post about this on here.

The National Geographic magazine was first published in 1888 and as of 2024 will no being publishing psychical paper magazines. After 136 years print editions of Nat Geo will no longer be a thing. But that's okay you can read the shitty ezine version for only $30 a year🙃

We are witnessing the death of psychical art and media, so that you all don't have to worry about your date cringing when they walk inside your house and see that you have actual hobbies and interests that you dare to spend actual money on. Because you've buried it all under the blandest shade of greige imaginable and own only the bare minimum. And read all of your books on Amazon's newest Ereader, literally blinding yourselves -- blue light projected by cellphones and Ereaders cause blindness, google it. All so that you have never have to leave your home and can maintain the illusion of being poor.

Really, though, I'm done. I've let minimalistic idiots get in my head for long enough.

"Oh, but minimalism makes you appreciate things more--"

No, it doesn't -- gratitude does. That's why gratitude journaling is a thing and lemme tell you minimalism is a lot less fashionable when you have no choice but to be a minimalist. Like I love the library but I'm not gonna -- part of the reason I go there so much is because I have no choice. I can't afford to buy books all of the time. So when I walk into a virtually empty apartment and the owner is sleeping in a sleeping bag and owns only one of everything cause it's trendy, it's not fucking cute or impressive.

It's a fucking waste.

And like I'm done. I'm going to buy things that I want and love, and I don't care if it makes me see old or materialistic or bad with money. I'm not going to be responsible for the end of home movie nights and give all of my money to streaming services. That's why after two fucking years, I finally bought a copy of Spiderman No Way Home and next month I'll be buying a copy of Across The Spiderverse.

"Oh but capitalism--"

Fuck off.

The SAG-AFTRA strike is still happening and there's a reason for that. But did you know that actors AND writers both get paid when you buy DVDs and Blurays? Not only that but you can keep FOREVER and watch them whenever you want. So, no, I'm not being an irresponsible slave to capitalism.

I'm supporting artists.

People against piracy fail to realize that no, I can’t just ‘buy it.’ They stopped making DVDs and Blu-Rays. They’re barely offering digital copies for download. I am not spending money I could use for food or bills to pay for a subscription service just so I can always have access to a beloved piece of media. Especially not when the service will remove media on a whim without concern for how the loss of access to that piece will make its artistic conservation nigh impossible.

For example, I recently learned that Disney+ had an original film called Crater. It’s scifi, family friendly, and seems cool - I would love to buy it as a holiday gift for my little brother! But: it’s exclusive to D+ and THEY REMOVED IT LITERALLY MONTHS AFTER ITS RELEASE.

The ONLY way I can directly access this film is through piracy. The ONLY available ‘copies’ of this film are hosted on piracy websites. Disney will NEVER release it in theaters, or as something to buy, and it may NEVER return to the streaming service. It will be LOST because we aren’t allowed to purchase it for personal viewing. If I can’t pay to own it, I won’t pay for the privilege of losing it when corporate decides to put it in a vault.

So yes, I’m going to pirate and support piracy.

Edit: if you are able, use $5 you would otherwise use for a streaming subscription to donate to a GazaFunds campaign.

btw if you borrow dvds or cds from library you can rip them onto your own blanks or onto your hard drive or whatever. librarians don’t care and they won’t know if you do it or not

Anyone wanting to switch Netflix’s new plan with ads (AKA broke motherfuckers) will need to buy Peaky Blinders on DVD or Bluray.

This is why DVDs are better than streaming services.

And people think government and businesses don’t punish poor people🤣

As I got my PS4 working on my TV again and can finally watch them, I just wanted to enthuse about these OFMD Blu-rays that the lovely Patricia @eddie-redcliffe created and very kindly gifted to me at Basingstoke Comic-Con 🥰 So much love and detail went into these, they are truly a work of art 👏🏻

Blurays/dvds, my beloved. They look good on a shelf and I own this movie/TV show now. Never have to worry about if it's on a streaming service or if it will be taken off. Just put it in a bluray player and bam! And special features, something so rare on streaming

I still think Christopher Plummer runs like a muppet, Beaker specifically.

Someone a long time ago asked to see my collection, and I told them that it consisted of piles here and there. I finally got rid of some unrelated stuff and was able to put everything in two locations.

As you can see, I tend to keep most of the protective packaging for some reason.

There's still... a little room for more, right hah?
