Buffy ,'Dirty Girls'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Aargh. But I totally don't rent instead of buying. Is that popular? If buying is the only way to get a commentary or extra feature, I probably just won't get it. Buying is a whole different level of affection for a movie or TV show.
But I'm guessing not everyone has the same approach to archival.
Oh I am with you, in general, ita. There are extremely few dvds that I want to own; Mad Men and 30 Rock are among the exceptions. It's infuriating that the dvd extras aren't being included on the rentals.
I have a fair amount of DVDs. I have DVDs I've never watched. But I also have a Netflix queue with over 350 discs and 90+ in the instant view queue. They are totally separate pursuits.
I'm curious to know if this will make a difference to their bottom line--it probably doesn't make a significant difference to their production costs to not include them, so it's all about strongarming the consumer into buying. But I just don't see it working.
Me either...I only buy my very favorite things, though.
If buying is the only way to get a commentary or extra feature, I probably just won't get it.
Ayup. Especially with Netflix streaming being essentially free.
Husband rented "Street Kings." This is a bad movie.
Isn't Keanu Reeves the lead actor in it?
I know, I know. I can't deny my husband access to the Netflix queue, no matter how tempting.
Does Chris Evans at least strip down at some point to make it worth suffering through?
Nope. It's got a lot of actors that I've liked in different movies at different times, slogging through a lot of crap dialogue.
Keanu doesn't actually do so bad.
