Not everyone has to like vanilla ice cream, some prefer chocolate.
There's nothing wrong with not liking peanuts.
I love spinach and cucumbers and rhubarb.
Next one to me hate spiders, avocados and melons.

I like Mother! Others hate it, and they hate me too for loving Mother!
I don't hate them, only a little for not respecting my likes.

What a concept!

Bring it on, 4K Blu, all three cuts, plus plus plus ... the sound, the music, the horror...

or when in fleet use, compared to the ‘E’ is more suited for combat air patrols and other missions where having a WSO is preferred.

Both E and F variants with Maverick markings were used during production.

Have not looked at the rules for awhile. I will read again to try and make sure I am not banned.

I know I have seen people be "banned" before and then be back after a week or two. (or maybe 30 days)

Sorry, I thought suspended was temp, banned was permanent.

Ugh, that sounds great, unlike the measly 2m50s 'feature' on the restoration that's on the new Blu-ray set!

Media Play News (former Home Media Magazine) started this pie chart showing Top 50 DVD/BD/UHD-BD for the week ending January 6, 2018

That is the highest % that UHD-BD has ever achieved. The only other week to even get close was the one ending August 18, 2018 at 15.9%.

Blu-ray Disc formats accounted for 80% of first-week Endgame sales, with a whopping 25% of its total unit sales coming from 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Disc.

The BD and UHD BD of Endgame did well in its first week.

Wait, so Disney doing the bare minimum for the UHD didn't hurt the sales?

That meant there had to be quick thinking creative positioning and camerawork so as to hide the skyline across the bay –

Wabo, you won’t have to worry about that ^……rather the opposite, for you’ll embrace the S.D. skyline, so my recommendation to visitors if/when you or Agent Kay ever visit again, a room with the skyline view –

The cottages are also nice, albeit at ground level.

Unfortunately when next year's sales figures hit and they return back to normal for this period then people will proclaim that the death of 4K disc is nigh.
