When a hurricane struck Florida in 2018, Christina's neighborhood lost electricity, cell service and internet. For four weeks her family was cut off from the world, their days dictated by the rising and setting sun. But Christina did have a vast collection of movies on DVD and Blu-ray, and a portable player that could be charged from an emergency generator.Not often I see a journalist reaching out through Reddit.
Word got around. The family's library of physical films and books became a kind of currency. Neighbors offered bottled water or jars of peanut butter for access. The 1989 Tom Hanks comedy The 'Burbs was an inexplicably valuable commodity, as were movies that could captivate restless and anxious children.
"I don't think 99% of people in America would ever stop to think, 'What would I do if I woke up tomorrow and all access to digital media disappeared?' But we know," Christina told me. "We've lived it. We'll never give up our collection. Ever. And maybe, one day, you'll be the one to come and barter a loaf of bread for our DVD of Casino."
I saw the duck part of this during the superbowl and was confused. Thought the Migration movie had robots and they were advertising a short that'd be included with the bluray or something.
A sequel made in 2019 from a beloved franchise? Of course it sucks!I haven't seen the sequel, but apparently it retcons a bunch of things that made the first great.
No clue if I've seen the first one or not. I watched scooby doo from time to time but the live action movies are the only ones I can individually remember.Interesting
I do not understandNo one does. That's why it's so exciting!
This is an exchange on the blu-ray.com website.QuoteDexter's Lab and Scooby Doo on Zombie Island Blu-ray announcement on the same day? Did I die and go to heaven?But it includes Return to Zombie Island, So maybe you went to Hell?
