I had a big DVD collection back in 2007. I sold almost all my DVDs at yard sales and swap meets.
And now here I am again, rebuying the DVDs I really want for movies and TV shows because streaming services either stopped streaming the show or movie I like, or it was put on another streaming service.
And then that service stopped streaming it too.
It's back to having a small wall in the living room of DVDs and Blu ray again. But I don't care. I realized I was better off in 2007 than I am now. I could just take it, put it in the player and watch it whenever I wanted. Even if that was only a few times a year. They couldn't take it away if it was in my hand.
Or edit out scenes they find objectionable, and other various reasons to own physical media.
The way things are going with AI and deep fakes, I fully expect them to start ADDING IN woke horse shit to all the classics very shortly. Make it so that Drew Barrymore actually saves ET, give Princess Leia a cringey lightsaber duel or two, have Adrian tell Rocky that Apollo deserves the title more because he’s suffered institutional racism etc.
Honestly it’s going to be a leftist commie’s wet dream 🤦🏼

Fuck, I didn't think of this but you're right. The "remastered" Star wars was the start of that.
Take my hate upvote.
