A (quite) young movie lover said to me recently, "Not everybody can afford a DVD player," and I said "How much do you think a DVD player costs?"
He said, "I don't know, like $500?"
Those of us who advocate physical media are maybe not doing the best job of messaging.

I’ve been plowing through a lot of the classic noirs on Kanopy - some great movies!
At least half the Criterion Collection is sitting there free, along with almost every important Giallo, a fair amount of French new wave, British 70s crime thrillers, and 90s American indie. it's perfect.

Bravo to Cornyn’s ego for yet again cannibalising the left’s support.
Your Party's "areas of [membership] strength appear to overlap heavily with places where the Green Party is already challenging Labour strongly, while local parties are much smaller in older industrial areas."

A year ago, our lawsuits helped make sure congestion pricing would go into effect on January 1, 2025. Now, the results are clear:
Congestion pricing has resulted in a marked drop in air pollution – not just in Lower Manhattan, but throughout the metro region.

2) These will be a new firehose of slop that fly-by-night content farms will monetize on Facebook & elsewhere
3) Fan backlash will be significant

Ugh. Proposals to build Wales’ first new national park in 60 years have been rejected.
Cllrs in Powys unanimously rejected the proposed Glyndŵr National Park, a 358sq/m project. They said the area couldn't cope with tourists.

they need to be looking at the rise of attendance at rep houses, and how those theatres have managed to regularly sell out screenings of movies that are old and often readily available to stream
the model isn’t directly scalable, especially not for new releases, but there are plenty of lessons

It's absurd, when you think about it. OpenAI stole Disney's IP. Now it's getting rewarded for it.
Not only does Disney capitulate by allowing Sora to use its IP, but Disney is the one giving money to OpenAI for that privilege.

Disney has struck a 3-yr content licensing partnership with OpenAI.
Sora users will be able to generate short AI videos that draw on more than 200 Disney, Marvel, Pixar and Star Wars characters.
Disney will also make a $1bn equity investment in OpenAI and become a "major customer" of OpenAI.
