"Even more than that the sound quality (of the 4K stream) was ABYSMAL! I'm not even an audiophile, I use studio headphones and don't expect the world, but the whole movie sounded flat and weak. Putting on the BD I was amazed at how much richer, clearer and more dynamic the sound was. It was NOT subtle at all, it was a massive difference. Like... massive."

I have said all along, it’s the backgrounds where you can really tell the difference.

All of my TV shows, video games, music, and books are on physical media as well. I also play board games a lot, those are all physical too. I'm not against using digital tools (like this forum) but I will never support art on anything but physical media. Tools can always be replaced with functionally identical equivalents, all art is irreplaceable.

Film as art, yep. That’s why I don’t buy or watch digital films in any form.

So you don’t watch live tv?

Are we now having a contest to see who supports physical media the most? If so, it's a silly one.

TV shows, video games, music, books, and movies are all art. Separating out films from everything else is ridiculous.

Absolutely not, I haven't watched any live TV since I was a teenager.

A years supply of Octagon humour. Need a quick joke at Christmas, round the dining table? You are covered! How about a night out with friends? Want some sarcasm to throw back to the wife when having a argument? With Octagon’s humour you can have it all!

Would that be on a mammoth multi-disc box set or via a live stream? I can't accept the latter being a pro disc advocate and all. Can't risk having the PenguinInfuriated on my case, no siree!

If Infinity wants a war, I will give him one!

Thanks, but I will wait for the Netflix adaptation here, too.

Damn, now I got him and all his friends after me, too, working their ninja moves!

I better go watch something now. I'm not gonna say what and not gonna say how. It's just too stressful around here.

Wait! How did that happen. One minute it’s penguins. Next it’s a human/fly hybrid. I’m off as well. Going to chilax with my Hereditary Blu-ray.

It starts...........

This is the perfect storm I have been talking about. 5G, increasing broadband prices and big budget short form, mobile centric content.

Can’t believe people can’t see this coming. Talk about head in sand.
