Will do! I'm so happy he's coming out and saying this, because it's become ridiculous that you never know where the movie you want to watch is. There's zero guarantee anymore that the thing you love will still be there.
I buy them myself now, and will own them forever. (Plus the quality of a 4k disc is just so much better)
I had forgotten how much worse streaming quality was after being stuck on it for a while.
Popped in an old DVD and was surprised how much better stuff looked. Not to mention BR....
I always knew it, but actually seeing it in front of me made me sad for how much I've missed, and now I can't go back.
audio especially is just so heavily compressed. Once you notice the video compression in the skies and in dark scenes and audio compression missing the "full body"-ness you just can't go back. You can tell where compression clips out the bits it can.
It's amusing since that audio compression is the reason why my pirated copy of interstellar is actually watchable as opposed to the streaming version which leaves your eardrums bleeding.
