i do wonder about owning dvd's of these type of movies - basically years ago the "idea" of streaming services would mean you can watch what you want when you want and certainly i had imagined that, for example, Amazon Prime would have the movie, say The Rock available for me to watch anytime...
the reality is "box office" movies seem to move around from platform to platform, sometimes moving from free to rental on the same platform, and then of course, coming in Free To Air on terrestrial channels (sometimes with ads depending on the channel) ..... edits for content, and more importantly their broadcast quality seems very variable!!!!
some worse than VHS when you get pixelling on action movies (for us thats usually channel 5 and things like "Great Movies - Action!"
at least owning the dvd/bluray takes away all of that and you can just stick it in and watch and have zero ads as well !

Streaming services censor films and tv shows as well, at least by owning the physical version you won't suddenly find a scene removed because it's deemed problematic or might upset China.the reality is "box office" movies seem to move around from platform to platform, sometimes moving from free to rental on the same platform, and then of course, coming in Free To Air on terrestrial channels (sometimes with ads depending on the channel) ..... edits for content, and more importantly their broadcast quality seems very variable!!!!

The hunt for Red October always takes me back to college, a lad in our class was a bit, er, special and didnt last long as though it was only an OND it was perhaps beyond his limited mental capacity.
Anyway, he used to stare into space whilst he used to pick his nose completely without any self awareness.
Anyway, another lad was transfixed watching him rummage "You coming for lunch" and he shoots back "In a minute, just watching the Hunt For Red October here" ;D
