[00:22]	TR Bot	Do DVDs Still Exist in 2024? - ComicBook.com
[00:22]	IsambardPrince	Streaming has "a lot of stuff" but usually not the stuff you want to watch.
[00:23]	IsambardPrince	Claiming that this will be the year "that physical media dies" doesn't happen unless people start paying to stream, which is a much worse sort of DRM than DVD or Blu Ray or even Ultra HD Blu Ray imagined.
[00:24]	IsambardPrince	If you buy a movie on Amazon or Apple or Google, or Microsoft, it's tied to that store forever and you need a fast internet connection to re-download it every time you want to watch it.
[00:24]	IsambardPrince	It's DIVX all over again, only now there's like 6 or 7 competing DIVX formats and they all have their own and you can't move the movie to someone else's DIVX.
[00:25]	IsambardPrince	Nobody who is smart is going to invest in a format like that because they have your money then you need them to continue going on as a company or there's no watching that movie.
[00:26]	IsambardPrince	I looked into Criterion. They've lost the rights to distribute at lest 8 films that I know about and so if you get Criterion Channel, their streaming service, you can't count on any of the movies always being there just because they're a Criterion title.
[00:26]	IsambardPrince	They don't always get a perpetual license so if they lose their license, that title can disappear for that reason.
[00:26]	IsambardPrince	They lost their license to make copies of Kurosawa's Ran, for example.
[00:26]	IsambardPrince	But every DVD they made still works, but it's not on the Criterion Channel.

[01:07]	IsambardPrince	I found a complete DVD set of James Clavell's Shogun, the 1980 Mini-Series.
[01:07]	IsambardPrince	At Goodwill.
[01:07]	IsambardPrince	They had an orange sticker on it so it was $4.99.
[01:08]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, Wikipedia says they chopped it down to a 2.5 hour movie for Japanese TV broadcast.
[01:08]	IsambardPrince	That must have been horrible.
[01:08]	IsambardPrince	The series was 9 hours and 8 minutes long.
[01:13]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, I got tired of all the letters to people who were evicted all over the floor in the mail room.
[01:14]	IsambardPrince	So I wrote "EVICTED" on like 30 of them and stuffed them in the outgoing mailbox at the post office.
[01:26]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, Mandy wanted something to cover his microphone to prevent some noise and I solved it by cutting part of some excess air conditioner filter. I told him "Only stupid people buy things."
[01:26]	IsambardPrince	A Ron Swanson reference.
[01:27]	MinceR	i wonder how you came into possession of that filter
[01:32]	IsambardPrince	The air conditioner that exploded had it hanging out.
[01:33]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, No air conditioner was meant to last 60 years.
[01:33]	IsambardPrince	But that's how old the last one was.
[01:33]	IsambardPrince	It did a surprisingly good job of making the room cold though, until it exploded.
[01:34]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, Mandy didn't get the joke when I picked up a magnifying glass and put it in front of my mouth and said "It's a plant."
[01:35]	IsambardPrince	I have all of those on DVD. Mostly as a result of buying other things and using Stargate SG-1 seasons on DVD to make the bulk order cheaper.
[01:35]	MinceR	:>
[01:41]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, I figured out the theme to Adventure Time, and also "Daddy, Why Did You Eat My Fries?" for the recorder.
[01:42]	IsambardPrince	I went to the door and started playing it while the neighbors were having another fight.
[01:44]	MinceR	:)

[01:49]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, No streaming service or combination of them could possibly get me what I already have on discs.
[01:50]	IsambardPrince	So what kind of an idiot would sell all their valuable discs to "subscribe" to something that costs money and has nothing on?
[01:51]	IsambardPrince	Cartoon Network really shit on us in the US.
[01:52]	IsambardPrince	It sold like 70% of Adventure Time in Blu Ray then said all you get for the rest of it are DVDs.
[01:55]	MinceR	there are lots of idiots who don't actually think about such things, they just sign up
[01:55]	IsambardPrince	There's a complete set of Blu Ray discs for Adventure Time in Australia, but they're Region B and the US is in Region A.
[01:56]	IsambardPrince	So literally the only thing stopping me from buying it is they're region locked and I'd need a Region B player.
[01:57]	MinceR	that industry certainly makes some good points for unauthorized copying
[01:57]	IsambardPrince	They do, don't they?
[01:57]	IsambardPrince	DVD was actually worse.
[01:57]	IsambardPrince	On regions.
[01:58]	IsambardPrince	DVD had 7 regions and Blu Ray has 3.
[01:58]	MinceR	they're their own worst enemy
[01:58]	IsambardPrince	So you can import discs from more of the world and play them on a US player, but not Europe, Austrlia, New Zealand, or Africa, which I think is B. 
[01:58]	IsambardPrince	Region C is just Russia, China, and India.
[01:58]	IsambardPrince	So probably nothing missed there.
● May 04
[02:00]	MinceR	:>
[02:00]	IsambardPrince	You can import discs from Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan, most of Southeast Asia, South America, and of course Mexico and Canada because they're part of "North America".
[02:01]	IsambardPrince	As long as it has English subtitles, I'm fine. Turns out some of those Region A discs they don't sell here have English dubs on them.
[02:01]	IsambardPrince	So they probably figured there'd be exports.
[02:13]	IsambardPrince	I think I solved the cat odor. I had to go napalm the entire area with antibacterial cleaner spray after changing the boxes, then I took the power washer for the car to all the cat mats (in the back yard) then once they were free of debris I tossed them in the laundry area the other people use and ran them on hot water and Tide for a while.
[02:13]	IsambardPrince	I don't wash my clothes in there but I figure nobody will know the difference.
[02:14]	IsambardPrince	They stick diapers with baby shit in there and then what sounds like two bricks in the dryers, turn it on and walk off.
[02:14]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, You wouldn't happen to have neighbors like this in Orbanistan?
[02:15]	IsambardPrince	Those cat mats are like $15 each now. They were only like $7-8 when I bought them.
[02:15]	IsambardPrince	So as long as they don't physically deteriorate I'll just wash them.
[02:19]	MinceR	lol
[02:19]	MinceR	dunno
[02:20]	MinceR	there are plenty of inexplicable sounds coming from the savage neighbors in the alleged apartment
[02:20]	MinceR	but we don't have communal washing machines
[02:32]	IsambardPrince	People toss all kinds of stuff in there and walk off.
[02:32]	IsambardPrince	Then there's a broken machine leaving holes and bleach spots all over your clothes.
[02:32]	IsambardPrince	Dryers with no heat.
[02:33]	MinceR	maybe that's why we don't have them
[02:34]	IsambardPrince	"What? Who's there? Well, whoever you are, you're not getting anything from me but holes! Not my holes, bullet holes!"
[02:34]	IsambardPrince	"You traipse in here in the middle of the night looking like some kind of...cattle rapist."
[02:38]	IsambardPrince	Okay, tonight's movie is Godzilla Raids Again.
[02:42]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, Now I have a Totoro, ho--ho---ho.
[02:42]	IsambardPrince	I have a Totoro on one side of my Bose and a Catbus on the other side.
[02:42]	IsambardPrince	And Scar from Battlestar Galactica on the top.

[02:57]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, I think I'll demote that Samsung player to DVDs for as long as it still runs.
[02:57]	IsambardPrince	The Sony one has a better picture.
● May 04
[03:02]	IsambardPrince	I think I'll enjoy Shogun. It has Toshiro Mifune and John Rhys-Davies.
[03:02]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, "That car belonged to my brother-in-law!"
[03:02]	IsambardPrince	:)
[03:03]	IsambardPrince	Later, Indy asks where he's going with the horses and he says "Compensation for my brother-in-law's car!"
[03:03]	IsambardPrince	The Nazis blew up the car, so he stole their horses.
[03:05]	ZedHedTed	louis rossman said it best. piracy is always justified.
[03:06]	ZedHedTed	even extwitter normies 12 years ago were tweeting "netflix has all the movies. except the ones i wanna watch."
[03:08]	IsambardPrince	Goodwill had Attack of the Killer Tomatoes on Blu Ray.
[03:08]	IsambardPrince	$1.99.
[03:11]	IsambardPrince	Okay, and now ebay is showing me naked women?
[03:22]	MinceR	are they selling women?
[03:24]	IsambardPrince	No, photos of women I guess.
[03:28]	IsambardPrince	Hannibal Lecter: "What did Miggs say to you, Clarice?"
[03:28]	IsambardPrince	Clarice: "He said, 'I can smell your cunt.'"
[03:28]	IsambardPrince	Hannibal Lecter: "I see, well, I myself cannot."
[03:30]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, The Sony Blu Ray player has no WiFi, which is fine.
[03:31]	IsambardPrince	I love how it's not in your face about apps.
[03:31]	IsambardPrince	The Samsung one is and all the apps no longer work.
[03:31]	IsambardPrince	But it will play discs.
[03:51]		*darwin has quit (Quit: Leaving)
[03:54]	IsambardPrince	I often go to eBay to source blu ray discs, or even Amazon.
[03:55]	IsambardPrince	The thrift stores around here often have nice finds but it won't necessarily be just what you want, and you have to go often to see what's actually there.
[03:55]	IsambardPrince	And sometimes the discs are missing because people just steal a 25 cent disc I guess?
[03:55]	IsambardPrince	CDs
[03:55]	IsambardPrince	CDs are 25 cents, and people still steal them.
[03:58]	IsambardPrince	The classical music CDs are in the case like 99.99% of the time.
[03:58]	IsambardPrince	Everything else you run into a missing disc about ever 5-10 CDs.
[03:58]	IsambardPrince	People who steal CDs probably aren't brushing up on their appreciation of high art.
[03:59]	IsambardPrince	I found a copy of Throne of Blood.

[04:04]	MinceR	"my servants can smell your blood, human"
[04:06]	IsambardPrince	Yeah, blood stinks like iron doesn't it?
[04:07]	IsambardPrince	I try not to bleed if I can avoid it because I don't have time to bleed.

This is the worst that this has been in many many years. This has to be a major red flag to candidates is the US looking for IBM job opportunities. IBM executives have put IBM in this unfortunate state of no job opportunities. This has to send a signal to candidates that IBMs business is struggling 
[20:02]	schestowitz[TR2]	in the US, IBM is not in solid financial ground, and that IBM looks only to hire cheap labor in countries like India.

[21:38]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2], I mentioned my old BDC-5500. 
[21:38]	IsambardPrince	I liked that player.
[21:38]	IsambardPrince	It had composite out and a bunch of other things.
[21:39]	IsambardPrince	After January 1, 2014, the Blu Ray spec said they had to stop selling Blu Ray players with analog ports.
[21:39]	IsambardPrince	Ones that had the ports still worked, but they had to deliberately downres the video to 576p on all new Blu Ray disc releases after that point.
[21:40]	IsambardPrince	That's called the Image Constraint Token.
[21:44]	IsambardPrince	So basically it ends up being better than playing a DVD (480i in NTSC), but nowhere near HD.
[21:45]	IsambardPrince	It's not that they won't work at all, it's that it degrades itself on purpose to prevent 1080i copies. Yes, HDMI picture is better because it's progressive scan, and I don't think anyone ever really resorted to analog piracy.
[21:45]	IsambardPrince	But there it is regardless.
[21:45]	IsambardPrince	The Samsung CRT TV I had with a 1080i display looked great with the 1080i Component from Blu Rays before the ICT.
[21:46]	IsambardPrince	The contrast ratio was so much better on those TVs than LCD/LED that I would give up progressive scan to get that back.

[21:52]	IsambardPrince	India is extremely corrupt and pretty close to China.

[22:54]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, Ever since I saw Galaxy Quest, whenever I have a lot going on and someone wants my attention I just say "Hold Please!"
[22:54]	IsambardPrince	That movie is definitely in my top 20.

[22:56]	psydruid	I've finally "upgraded" my old desktop from Athlon 64 to Ryzen, but am keeping the old board for future experiments with non-bloated software
[22:56]	IsambardPrince	And that scene where Tim Allen says "You're right, I'm not a starship captain, but I am an actor, and it doesn't take a great actor to spot a bad one, and you're sweaty, and I know something you don't."
[22:56]	IsambardPrince	And what, pray tell, would that be?
[22:56]	IsambardPrince	"My ship's dragging mines!"

[23:00]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, I got a lot of lines from that movie.
[23:00]	IsambardPrince	Like when my mom hit a line of potholes and manhole covers.
[23:00]	IsambardPrince	And I said, "Could you possibly try not to hit EVERY SINGLE ONE!"

[23:13]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, The English language in the US has devolved so much that people are having a hard time understanding me.
[23:13]	IsambardPrince	I would say that I speak at about the level that movies from the 1940s and 50s generally used.

[23:29]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, Mike Judge said they actually filled up a movie theater and didn't tell people what they'd be seeing, just that it might be crude and offensive and they'd pay them as extras.
[23:29]	IsambardPrince	Then when "Ass: The Movie" appeared on screen and it was just someone's butt and farting noises, all kinds of laughter broke out.
[23:30]	IsambardPrince	I don't think that the laughter was because the people in the theater were stupid, but more like nobody expected that.
[23:30]	IsambardPrince	So it became absurd and unexpected, therefore funny.
[23:31]	IsambardPrince	Jokes don't have to have a complicated setup, and the funniest ones usually don't.
[23:32]	IsambardPrince	The best ones hit someone so fast that they don't have any time to think about it.
[23:32]	IsambardPrince	And then you get laughter as it starts to set in.
[23:37]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, So there was a porn video I saw where it started out with the Five Tones from Close Encounters of the Third Kind. It was a doorbell.
[23:37]	IsambardPrince	Of course this happened in Japan. Where else?
[23:37]	IsambardPrince	South Korea maybe... It might be plausible there.
[23:44]	IsambardPrince	I've watched enough Japanese movies that I'm starting to understand a few words and sentences. But not much.
[23:55]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, I picked up the recorder. I did the Five Tones from Close Encounters.
[23:55]	IsambardPrince	That's going to make me laugh now forever.
[23:55]	MinceR	:)
