And I would have people that asked me why. Why are you still buying them when you can just stream the movie? Why do I have more dvds than most stores that sell them?
Why? Cause many reasons. First off when I stream say Snakes on a Plane all I get is the movie. Not the commentary,not the deleted scenes. Just the film. Secondly I never know when for example Airheads will leave streaming. Not that long ago I saw Airheads was streaming on Hulu. Cool I want to watch it. Watched it and enjoyed it again. Maybe 3 weeks later want to watch it again but now it isn't streaming.
Noticed over the past 5 months more and more people talking about how they are rebuilding their DVD library. Guessing people just sold off their DVDs once they started streaming. Dumb idea.
And right now is the time to get back into physical media. Once a week I make a circuit of the pawn shops,junkstores and thrift shops. And depending on the store prices can be as cheap as 50 cents a dvd/blu ray,all the way up to buck per dvd and 3 bucks for blu ray.
As to why I am up early on Friday and Saturdays...the best junkstore in the area is only open those two days. Opens at 8am and gotta be there early to get the deals. Like how recently I got 4 seasons,two of them still sealed and new, of Everybody Loves Raymond on DVD. 50 cents a season. Less than a week after buying them I had the two sealed season sets sold and made a 14 buck profit. Which of course got usedd the next week on more cheap DVDs.
And that picture at the top. That is a new blu ray from Terror Vision. A small boutique company. And somehow they got a deal to get that one film into big box stores,like Walmart. So to support a small company and hopefully make it where more smaller companies can get stuff into mass market stores I grabbed that movie sight unseen. Turned out to be a good movie.
Now I gotta finish getting dressed cause it is time to hit my secret junkstore and see what I find.
