Pretty much EVERYONE was buying a DVD player, and a classic movie hitting this new format was an EVENT. Now people are just content to stream everything, and have zero interest in any movie made prior to the early-2000s. I will always want to OWN movies.
And during those salad days we were fighting the Joe 6-Pack FULLSCREEN crowd. 15 years later...now J6P wants to stream. And, they still hate black bars.
