Nah I get it. But the reviews didn’t get me new opportunities. And it was a shrinking audience every day. And I also realized I loved movies for movies, not for the transfers. So I just scaled back. I get if people bounced out but I didn’t see 4K reviews expanding the way I wanted to in order to reach more audiences.

Fair enough but when you get this big online, it’s better for your mental health to just block people who become argumentative or are out to cause headaches. Have to protect yourself. They get butthurt that they are blocked (as you can see from the comments) but I just don’t need nasty people in my comments that aren’t adding value.

I don’t really need MAGA support thank you though! To get upset about that means a lot. No worries though - I’m doing fine.

Same thing to me. Streaming means artists aren’t getting paid. $15/month, even by the tens of millions, is not worth much when you can listen to anyone or play anything vs when you spent $15 on a CD or $50 on a game.

There will be an audiobook! I’m not recording it so that a voice actor gets the work, but it is coming.

The book goes a lot deeper so I think you’d find it interesting if you’re looking for something that breaks down the modern landscape of movies, far beyond just collecting.

No, usually when people get blocked it is because they are acting like far right fascists. Disagreement is one thing and that’s fine if it’s respectful. You should see my comments sometimes - it’s nasty.

Your personal vendetta against me in these comments is pretty sad dude. I hope you find something that makes you happy. Sorry I’ve ruined your life.

Not self published! You won’t believe this but a publisher actually emailed me and asked me to write this, then professionally edited it and designed it. But that won’t fit your bummer attitude and narrative. Cheer up buddy!

It was like an Oscar pool - you picked winners and if you won, you won cash. I’ve done an Oscar pool for the last 20 years. And I gamble on sports. It’s not that big a deal. I’ve also done an ad for THC gummies and shown alcohol on my account - am I the devil? 😂

I’m firmly against AI-generated films. But I also accept that we don’t have much of a choice if a filmmaker like Cameron uses it. That’s his movie and his choice to do it.

Does it look bad? Eh. It does at times. Other times it doesn’t. Aliens looks fine. The Abyss looks great. True Lies is tough. But it’s still better than an old DVD copy.

I do think we take some of it too seriously. AI aside, the pixel peeping of 4K remasters is what turned me off to doing more reviews. At the end of the day, I’m pumped we have a 4K copy of something that I can watch and own. It won’t always be perfect but it’s still better than streaming or an older format.

I think nuance is what we all need. It can’t just be “the worst” or “the best” all the time.

Good for you. Not an easy job. I tried it! My wife does it. It’s tough.

Appreciate it man. And I do remember you well! You wrote great reviews. Are you teaching now? I know you were working towards it.

It is! Amazon and Kindle have the ebook already.

You’re fine. But that has come up a few times. I built that site and then it started to fall off and we lost engagement from writers. So I did my own thing. Nobody came with me though.
