On Reddit we have r/dvdcollection, r/boutiquebluray, r/4kbluray, r/steelbook, r/vhs, etc but let's start simply with a community to cover all the forms of home video collecting.

So, do you feel nostalgic for a format? Are you looking forward to a release? Heard any exciting news? Want to show us your shelves? Then post away.

However, De Luca and Adby said the loss of the revenue stream that came from DVDs has pushed them to make better movies.

Personally I think it translates to taking fewer risks.

Agreed. There just isn't the variety of films anymore and so much stuff (even the poorly written shows) has to have a "premium" streaming show/film budget. It's all about franchises, reboots and sequels to decades-old-films.

What's a guy gotta do to get a commentary track nowadays?

Invite the guy who read every interview about the movie

I also miss the days where I bought physical media. These days, it's hard to find something new that interests me, is actually available for purchase, and/or isn't a super limited collectors set with steelbook etc that needlessly inflates the price. Good thing I have decades of physical media to, um... sit on a shelf unwatched, mostly. >_>

So reverse the trend. Stop licensing your catalog for streaming and sell physical media.
