Case in point, Rocky III... in the new releases they're removing the robot scenes (which are indeed quite silly) for no reason whatsoever other than they don't look good anymore. I own a bluray boxset that no one can edit. It's not even about social justice or being offensive...
Eh try watching the original tape of Star Wars trilogy and then watch the "updated version".
Sure the story is the same, but nothing compares to the original, might be less crispy, less polished, but that's the beauty!
well, the various Star Wars revisions are at the edge of psychopathy! It's like every other year there is a new new new new new release ?
Wonder why no 4k UHD disc? I guess releasing on blu ray is a start. It's amazing to me that most people don't realize sound and video quality is much better on disc than compressed streaming.
Physical media for me is reserved for the greats — Breaking Bad, M*A*S*H, Sopranos, Boardwalk Empire, The Wire, Deadwood, Turn, Seinfeld, etc. If I’m going to invest in art, might as well buy ones that are truly unique. Worse — and this is terrible to think in America — some acquisitions need to be made before the modern-day book burners get their hands on them.
I was waiting for the VHS
I hear that! I refuse to watch this show until it’s released on LaserDisc. ?
As opposed to something streaming only, and ephemeral?
Really enjoyed Defending Jacob. Chris Evans did an awesome job acting in and producing the show. HOWEVER, the ending of the show was different to the book (won't give any spoilers...) and I think they got the ending wrong in the TV show. Other than the ending it was really well done.
I think Apple have missed a trick here however...
Inside every DVD/Blu-ray release, they should put a coupon for a free month of Apple TV+.

Tehran is brilliant imho, The Morning Show depicts a serious problem in an entertaining way, Ted Lasso is like getting high on antidepressants, and Defending Jacob was hardly as fun or thrilling as the three others. It had high production values, a great cast, but the story was not very believable and protracted.
it was really good,well made,good acting,good story,not too long..
I recommended it to few others and everyone liked it too.
Exactly! Forgot about that one. While agree they are silly now, and probably even then, that WAS a part of the released movie. Glad I have the blue rays and the Apple version. (They were like $5 for the entire collection up through Creed.)
Exactly what I was thinking when I wrote that. Han shot first.
Issue number one, wash your hands and you won’t have that problem. ?
Issue number two, oh yes we are! ?
I would buy physical media for things that I will watch over and over again, which isn't much these days. What annoys me about streaming is sometimes I want to watch a movie or show, but it disappears from the service. So annoying.
Before I could go rent it at the video store and the physical copy is still there even years later. So for the keeper movies and shows, physical media still rules. Also nothing rivals the quality of Bluray UHD, so for the collectable movies, it's still the ultimate experience to watch Bluray 4K on a top end TV like OLED.
But I would not buy this show. It was ok, and felt well done.....the performances were good, but not sure I liked the story all that much after all is said and done.

What does "Paramount-backed" mean? Paramount's logo is on the DVD, not Apple's.
It seems to me that if Apple paid for exclusivity, it's still a Paramount series that is now widely available.

My exact thought!
I’d buy copies for family / friends as presents. Particularly those not partaking of the Apple ecosystem.
and we may buy a copy for ourselves along the way.
