Like why some apartments allow no tenants with pets. Living in an apartment building, some tenants around me absolutely fucking suck with owning pets. Allowing them to bark, wrestle and play loudly, letting them take dumps everywhere and not picking it up. People actually running with their pets with no leashes when leashes are required.

Yeah I side more with apartment offices that have balls to say no pets. Nobody wants the noise.

I got tired of blu rays somehow:

  • trailers at the beginning (skippable)
  • copyright and and piracy warning (non skippabale)
  • usually no english subs for blu rays bought in germany (original english sound though)
  • got one with really bad quality and other versions on the internet looked way better (original the hills have eyes)
  • wanted to lend a friend without a blu ray player a few by giving him my old laptop with a blu ray drive. No proper software to play it without fiddeling under linux
  • resources and plastic cases (started buying used - but then if it's a really good movie the studio won't receive any support for it)
  • players will need updates to be able to handle new encryption keys (never ran into it though bc I keep my PS updated)

Pros:

  • the collection looks nice in the shelf
  • picking up a movie is usually easier for me than on netflix
  • I watched the bonus material after the movie which was often interesting

Blu-Ray is just overrated. DVD is still around and still has decent quality. The quality contrast between DVD and Blu-Ray is narrow. It's just the extra storage is there for when, whenever a movie is released, you just cram extra content into it. TV shows and anime shows have easier times for example because in the past, they'd have to release like 5 - 10 discs a season but now they can do it in one or two discs on blu-ray.

And streaming can have it's strengths but obviously the services have crippled both quality and selection for the viewer.

The quality contrast between blu ray and DVDs is massive if done properly. As I said I only encountered it two times so far and I guess this was simply a cheap money grab and taken from the DVD or even worse sources yeah. Mostly noticable if they out multiple movies onto a single disc, but with all the other stuff blu ray is way more crisp than dvd. Maybe your tv is just better in upscaling. I guess especially for animes it's easy to do so

I miss the behind the scenes footage

I mean, there's no reason it can't be bundled with shows on the streaming platforms, but they just don't

This is all true with digital rips,... the advantage as far as I'm concerned is uncompromising quality
