I like that cool DVDs show up cheap at thrift stores and stuff now. I got an old Anchor Bay DVD of Manhattan Baby for eight bucks at a flea market the other day, felt better than dropping like $20 for a blu ray on amazon.

I'll go for DVD if it's not on Blu-ray and probably will never make the jump. I bought Yakuza Like A Dragon last week for this reason.

I still get DVDs when it's the only or best format available for a certain film. Like how the most complete version of The Devils is only on a Region 2 DVD and how The Fate of Lee Khan is only in some 4-film DVD bundle.

Yeah, I have a couple of Hammer collections that have four or five films and they were only 6 bucks each. I definitely scan those weirdo, grouped-together collections any time I'm in a store that sells them.

Hillary's sense of humor is incredibly dry yet also very trying-too-hard, so the end result is just belabored eye-rolling.

HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:Man, DVD's aren't going anywhere. The other day, I saw a DVD set for Penny Dreadful - the entire series - for like 30 bucks. The majority of people care so little about picture quality that I sometimes am curious how they're able to drive. Most people can't really tell the difference between DVD and Bluray. Just like how a lot of them don't notice frame interpolation and prefer to watch stuff shot at 4:3 stretched to 16:9 rather than have black bars on the sides of the screen. DVD will probably be a thing until high-speed internet is as common as indoor plumbing.

I work at a video store that rents and sells. Blu-ray does not put up numbers like DVD. I'd estimate that 75% of our customers do not have a Blu-ray player. Which makes the idea of 4K even more ridiculous.

I begrudgingly bought a blu ray player a week or so ago because my projector only accepts HDMI input.

I bought The Fog and The Changeling on DVD at a comic convention a few months back for $2 each. I still haven't watched them though - I'm holding off for the October horror thread.

Working at a public library backs up the DVD isn't going anywhere theory

Public library DVDs are a blessing and a curse. As far as I can tell, it's the only legal way I can watch Make Way For Tomorrow without buying it, but they only have two copies, one of which doesn't work.

LesterGroans posted:Yeah, I've switched over to Blu's but I'll still pick up a cheap DVD from time to time. I got Do the Right Thing, Force Majeure, Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie and Rules of Attraction for a buck each a little while ago. God, when I lived in Baltimore, I wound up buying so many DVDs. There's this amazing store in Fells Point called The Sound Garden, and seemingly every other week they'd run a 2-for-10 sale, or they'd have incredibly rare stuff for like two bucks. Crazy good prices on vinyl, too; was able to fill out both my Nick Cave and Leonard Cohen collections there. Also, lost in the JJ Abrams / Star Wars news was that he's also co-writing Episode IX ... with Chris Terrio.

I just found the first three seasons of Futurama on DVD for 16 bucks. I go for blu-ray if possible because it's purdy but honestly if the transfer is good a DVD still look pretty nice, plus I can watch them on my computer without any hassle.And as mentioned they're a lot cheaper.

I mean, I think you can approach critiques of her with some nuance, ya know? Like claims that shes the leader of a child sex-trafficking pizza joint are not the same as pointing out how out of touch and downright evil her views on things can be.

Her complaining about Trump's "Crooked Hillary" line and placing some of the blame on Bernie is hilarious. You've been in politics for decades, how can you not have a comeback to "crooked," it's like the #1 insult hurled at any politician.
