Red face Let's get Physical

As an old codger, I've been somewhat plussed (as opposed to non-plussed) by the invasion of non physical access to movies. (i.e. paying to stream) On the one hand it means I have access to pretty well every movie ever made, but on the other hand I pause before calling that access part of my collection.

This has probably been said a million times already, but my Netflix, Prime and many other subscriptions mean I'm paying dearly for access to movies that will leave the site soon, or disappear altogether when the particular streaming platform goes under, as is realistically a probability sometime in the future.

Hence the need for inventory catalog software of my physical disks that works. The app that's available in combination with this web site works, although IMO it's somewhat "kludgey." (pronounced "kloogey")

But I'll comply. This is my third post in my attempt to climb the mount called "participation." But what happens if I don't participate often enough once I reach that 10 post pinnacle?

I guess we'll see, especially since this platform is more prone to stick around than, say, a small software company like ANT who made a decent product and then abandoned it, then showed up again.

I'm not too great with "participation" as well. Hoping it doesn't have to be often!

Streaming was always a false panacea. I'm glad I never listened to the physical naysayers.

Discs for life!

Yes! I couldn't agree more. For me blu-ray has always been enough, but now with the studios only releasing 4k for some titles, it looks like I'll be upgrading my projector.
