I wouldn’t mind the idea of everything going digital. So long as we actually own the digital copies we buy. So long also as we are able to continually access said digital copies. We wouldn’t be having this physical vs digital debate going on for so long, if the practices of what companies like Sony and other media companies have been going about with handling digitally purchased content.

It’s a very stupid easy of a solution that has been continually fumbled time and time again. Because greed got in the way.

    They Live - constantly hailed on social media as one of the greatest films in cinematic history, if not the greatest. The concept is fantastic, and the reflections on real-world propaganda and other forms of mind control are thought-provoking, but they certainly don’t provoke any thought among the characters. The only part most viewers remember and talk about, by a longshot, is the 6- or 7-minute alley fight about putting on sunglasses. My favorite scene was in a big room with a giant screen showing a galaxy, where business people were stepping onto a platform and apparently being teleported into space. What was the deal there? It looked like wealthy earthlings were doing business with a galactic civilization. But it was just a quick throwaway scene. I wanted to see where they were going. I mean I’m not saying it was a bad movie, just that it could have been a hell of a lot better.
