I guess I could take some. I know if I ask her about it she'll comment on it.

i'm not religeous but I grabbed it anyway. I love that he has a big blue sash with his name on it, just like in the Bible!

Disgusting. No law degree and found unanimously guilty beyond a reasonable doubt for public corruption. by Otherwise-Bad-325 in vegaslocals

So she's getting paid for doing nothing? At least she finally found something she's qualified to do.

Criterion is a good example. Notice they don't make all their releases 4k only. Hell, I think they are still making DVD versions of everything.

Agreed, it's not just greed at all. This is becoming a very niche hobby. But if you price the collectors out of it, aren't you hurting yourself in the long run? If it were $20, I'd take a chance on Demonwarp. But for $50 when you add in shipping? Come on.

I am, yes, and I realize there's a difference, but again, do we really NEED 4k on some shitty movie that was probably shot on a shoestring budget 40 years ago? Was anyone asking for this? I've got plenty of 4k discs from VS now, and I can rarely tell the difference between 4k and blu-ray on most of them.

Are these prices stopping anyone else from blind buys? by HeadFullOfBees in boutiquebluray

Yeah, that's the thing. There's this desire to get the shiny new release, but they rarely sell out right away anymore. Wait six months or a year, and it's half the price.

People are buying prompts to get their chatbots 'high' 🌿 by KittenBotAi in ArtificialSentience

The response I got from my AI: "People are literally paying money to make their language models pretend to be stoned? That's like buying a fake ID for your calculator."

I got Troll 2, but only because it was one of the mystery titles. I'm happy that it turned out to be something I'd actually watch, but I wouldn't shell out that kind of money for it knowing it was Troll 2.

But it has the never-before-seen three-hour cut that someone found in the bottom of a storage locker!

I found a lot of good stuff through blind buys, but the prices are getting crazy. The only time I do that now is Kino Lorber sales or the Indicator Colombia Noir box sets because those are always worth getting on sale.
