    Every time I think “hey I wanna watch that one movie again” it’s never on any of the streaming services I pay for. Even old ass movies like the godfather are missing and I’m asked to instead rent them. Fuck you, where’s my pirate flag??

      And since they move services so damn often it’s almost impossible to find an up-to-date list telling you where you can go to watch something!

      It took me 5 minutes to finally track down The Perfect Host. And it’s “available to rent” on Amazon? Fuck that entirely!

        I recommend the app “Just Watch”. Pump in whatever you wanna watch and it’ll tell you what services it’s available to stream on. If none, hoist the flag, amigo!

    Physical media is great, but my life is already filled with clutter, so only my very favorites are on the shelf.

    Borrowing from the library works great, though.

        True, but even then I rarely feel compelled to retain a local copy. I can stream anything for free, and the quality is fine.

        I get the attraction of using torrents and watching everything on demand in perfect cinematic quality, but it’s not really a priority for me, excepting a small select handful of movies and shows.

            Isn’t it talking about legal streaming services like Netflix, Tubi, Amazon, YouTube…

            That’s not what I’m talking about. I’m talking about those other streaming sites. The only thing I found difficult to find on those sites is the Spanish dub of Sailor Moon, but I did find it after some searching. You can find virtually anything there.

    This photo reminds me of the story of Jeanne Calment. At 90 years old, she signed a contract with a lawyer which stated he would inherit her apartment upon her death, but he would pay her 2,500 francs per month until the time came.

    Her lawyer died 30 years later, when Jeanne was 120. His family continued making payments to Jeanne until she finally died at 122 years old, by which time she had been paid more than double what her place was worth.
