I highly doubt you could find 200 good movies on any streaming services at this point.
and it all depends what you think good means doesn’t it, I enjoy objectively bad films like Laser Mission or The secret agent club
but of the roughly 800,000 movies ever released about 300,000 are on DVD, I’m sure you could find a couple of good titles in all that.
when someone shows you who they are believe them
If Elmo throwing Nazi salutes wasn’t a big enough tell, Drumpf calling them the January 6 hostages should terrify anyone who hasn’t already left the country.
Been getting mixed reception with the Bellamy Salute … probably because this is fucking serious.
RIP America, seems to be the way most republics end isn’t it.
The fourth estate is complicit and always has been.
ironic you choose almost the exact number you could buy with the lowest tier of netflix
and that’s before multi disc sets and resale value.
and libraries not only lend movies but more than likely also have a streaming service too.
paying the mega corps for their slop is a choice.
I still have VHS copies of rental DVDs
and a good chunk of my early MP3 collection was from my hometown library.
most of the stuff I would point to is surprisingly up just with zero seeds, so they are probably out there on private trackers.
Was not expecting an Anthony Hopkins movie to give a null result thought Blunt the fourth man
Not even on his IMDB page which is strange.
I feel like throwing golden age musicals at you would be cheating because no one actually cares about musicals :P
they will eventually stop getting my money then.
I have a lot of straight to DVD B movies but I also have a lot of 4k steel books. Collectors are worth significantly more to the studios than they seem to realise. people who want the quality of physical media aren’t going to settle for streaming over the internet.
I have a lot of DVDs that are not currently to be found on the high seas, there are certain things I would upgrade to blu ray at the right price but for the most part you have different masters or cuts or colour grading and there are certainly things recorded in SD that are never getting a blu ray release, like concerts or other live events, because there is no high def master. I even buy concerts on VHS when I find them.
I’m a firm believer in physical media even if that media is a spinning disk in my NAS.
My physical media collection isn’t replacing streaming, jellyfin is.
Thrift stores for less than a dollar each usually in 10 for $5 type deals. multi disc sets are your friend and sometimes they don’t differentiate between DVD and blue ray either, I’ve got quite a few blu rays this way.
DVDs are where VHS was about a decade ago, get what you can while it’s cheap. I even got a pile for free when a pawn shop was dumping stock to get out of the market.
Also DVDs are still being pressed because there’s no licensing fee on the format so it’s still profitable to make new ones.
For the yearly cost of a single streaming service I could buy more DVDs than I could ever watch.
Did you know you can borrow DVDs from the library … for free.
I would never waste another cent on streaming, the value proposition got flushed down the toilet when every single studio got into the game.
Turns out they where all being held in hospitals and schools so there’s none left to release
Basic problem solving isn’t part of computing for most people because it’s been engineered out
if a 5 year old can use a phone it’s not because the 5 year old is smart it’s because the designer of the phone was.
if I was TicTok I would treat it like an embassy being ejected and fucking burn everything.
You want it? start from scratch bitch.
convenience
turns out a vast majority of people disliked surfing the web
in that case they blew past lemmy before the exodus.
The insta crowd is super active.

so close and yet so far
