Beating off to furry porn is not getting laid.

>every. single. other. night.

What does this mean? Does it mean you get laid every night, or every other night? Anyways, fuck off.

Bitches would rather you have money to spend on bitches than to spend on things that you think you're getting for bitches.

Uh.... I just play a movie from my computer and lay cuddling and spend my money on trips.

>>8148033

Anyone have an autocaller that they can set up to this number, for those dates?

i'd have a collection like that if i had the money to waste
alas

I would prefer the guy with the shit on his computer.

I know it's a troll, obviously. But really some people do collect pirated books on their computer that got off the internet They look like jackasses with their collections on their computer. It's not like anyone is going to come over and browse your stupid ass collection of .pdf files.

>>8148051
lol typical fustered roney anon.

>>8147999

because there is no reason to spend money when you don't have to?

or maybe everything is going to just be computer files eventually anyway?

>>8148055
oh god when i used to browse /tv/ retards would always post their shitty "collections" of axxo rips like it was an accomplishment

Femanon here, OP is a faggot but a guy with a good media collect and a GOOD tv is quite a turn on.

If he's a good host and has a decent enough place we could have film nights with our friends, yeah.

because it's free and convenient and i dont bring girls to my mother's basement anyway

>>8147999

That collection is very nice for a start.

I`ve got my TV hooked up to my computer and run a GUI frontend when I play back movies. The system can also be transported to other houses and easily hooked up.

Digital media is far superior in every way to a bunch of DVDs sitting on a shelf.

>>8148084
>good TV is a turn on

I almost never say this kind of thing, but that is fucking disgusting.

I don't "pirate everything"

I watch few movies anyway. My internet is slow so is annoying to download them. Fuck it you know, most of the time it isn't worth the effort, let a lone the rip off buying from stores.


The music I listen to is esoteric and easier to download then seek out and wait two months for it to arrive in mail to find out I dont like it.

>>8148055
What if I told you that I didn't care what people thought of my digital media collections?

Enjoy your friends

>>8148099
What's the matter, to poor to afford good luxuries?

With a computer nowadays a good TV is just a luxury for people of this generation.

A collection of films is important!

No I don't want a place to show off my collections. Motherfucker I can't even remember the last time I had a guest at my house. Enjoy your overpriced shiny frisbees.

>>8148099

Disgusting because it establishes him as someone who can move large groups of people to tears and provide an immersive emotional experience with a TV screen.

Or disgusting because you jealous.

I think we both know which one it is.

>>8148107
well if you lived on your own in a apartment you would freak people out. I mean it's just so much mroe comforting to see dvds and books around the place then just empty walls with a computer and 2 external hard drives strung together.

And it's really nice to have all that shit to easier seek and watch/read/play.

OP is oldfag.

I don't pirate...not because I prefer to have physical copies of things (Although I do) but because I actually have some moral fiber.

I have a huge collection of movies and books and cds. I still pirate lots of stuff, because most stuff isn't worth my money.

Literature I keep physical copies of, especially obscure shit. I've also got an XBOX HUEG vinyl collection (in part due to THANKS MOM N DAD).

However, I store most of my films on my computer, due to the fact that I use my TV as my monitor. It saves time. Also, on a semi-related note, silent film collections freak chicks out. Dunno why.

>>8148129
Disgusting because you place sexual value on a person because of something they own.

For fucks sake, it isn't even a nice car.

>>8147999
You are fucking creepy. Don't post here anymore.

No OP I really don't give a shit. Stop caring so much about what other people think, you self conscious faggot.

>>8148107
People don't even think about your collection. So of course you wouldn't have to worry about what they think. Hell, we all have some collection of books and movies on our computers. But some people go overboard with it. The only reason people would collect so many movies on their computer is because they think that someone is going to come and see their collection some day, and of course no even remotely cares about your shitty collection. I mean you only watch a movie once or twice, so if you only save your favorite movies then you collection shouldn't be too big.

Empty DVD cases and a color printer are cheap.

Just print up your own labels. Put a QR Code sticker on each one, so you can just scan it from your phone to cue up the movie; this way she never has to see that the cases are empty.

>>8148140
Thats what furniture is for.

>>8147999
HAHAHA no blue rays anon.

You're fucking small time.

My favorite part of OP's post was...

> every. single. OTHER. night.

which, if true, is quite a bit, but it still sounds funny.

>>8148140
>well if you lived on your own in a apartment you would freak people out.
I do live in an apartment with people who aren't my parents, dumbass. Nobody gets freaked out. My friends and my roommates friends hang out and drink beer and chat or go out and do shit. There are no book collections or DVD collections or entertainment centers here. Fuck you and your retarded assumptions.
>so much more comforting to see all the crap everywhere
You're such a dumb faggot

>>8148178
>I mean you only watch a movie once or twice

Well, if it's shit like Hot Tub Time Machine, then yeah. But some shit is worth keeping around and revisiting often.

BROTIP:
1. Bring home a bitch.
2. Watch Casablanca.
3. FUCK YEAR CLASSY

Picture this: invite girl over.

"Hey, babe, what do you want to watch?"

"Um, I don't know, let's watch (insert movie you don't have in your small collection because you don't have exactly similar tastes in things because no girl is your dream girl)."

"Alright, here, let's see." Bring up warez-bb. Search for movie. Find it. Download it. "Oh, it will be done downloading in HD in 15 minutes. What should we do until then?"

Have sex. Watch pirated movie.

>>8148156

Having a big TV is a status symbol. He can be a good host and make people feel comfortable. He is worthwhile and sexy as fuck if he can do these things.

What part of this is difficult to understand.

my girlfriend tells me what movie she wants to watch

20 minutes later, we are watching it on my 51 inch hdtv

20 minutes after that, we are ignoring the movie, if you know what I mean ;)

My boyfriend has his computer connected to a massive tv. Or sometiems we just watch it on his monitor while laying in bed. His pirated collection suits me just fine.

>>8147999
>implying anyone here could invite a girl over because they live with their parents.

weren't you on that hoarders show?

(rip your fucking dvds, nimrod)

>>8148232

I just downloaded 720p versions of a trilogy of awesome 60's Michael Caine movies (Alfie, Get Carter, & The Italian Job) in 20 minutes.

$7 a month for a premium rapidshare account means I have every single one of these movies plus every single other movie I could possibly want.

http://onlyoldmovies.blogspot.com/

Jesus, this is the stupidest shit I've ever seen.

1. I'm glad I don't have to horde around stacks of useless discs, that scratch easily as fuck.
2. No women is impressed by your film collection.
3. I'lld rather save the money. If you can't think of things you would like to buy that aren't media, you have no hobbys and are a stupid piece of shit.

I don't collect movies on my computer or in DVD form. I go watch movies at the theater with my friends.

>>8148244
Because a nice TV is easy as fuck to get. She is basically calling herself a much lower priced whore than the ones who crave a man with a maserati.

I would pirate everything if I knew how to.

I doubt just having a collection will help you get laid but it seems like a good way of showing your interest to people. It also helps to share with less techno savvy people who can't be arsed to figure out how to get the vids from my hard drive.

>>8148245
You're checking 4chan and she's answering her phone? Is that what you meant?

Physical media is history. As is scarcity economics.

99.99999% percent of anything manufactured for consumption of the worlds eyes and ears is shit no better fit for the retard bin.

First response in thread put it best.

The internet is here to stay, and pirating is the status quo. The internet is too important and useful to humanity to cripple with anti-piracy methods, so finding a win-all solution to the infrastructure of the internet is essential. Taking in the factor of GETTING LAID is arbitrary, even if you can show yer babe some amazing shit that is impossible to love that you can't afford on DVD. Besides, bitches love men with an economic sense.

troll troll troll troll faget

As a progressive female anon here, I see no point in collection of physical dvds. If I go to a guys house and see a big collection of films I just think to myself this guy waste a lot of money and leave him on the spot.

>>8148297

Everyone has their price.

Your getting disgusted over it is sort of sad anon.

:(

>>8147999
REGULAR DVDS ARE WORTHLESS NOW.
YOU GET THE SAME QUALITY IN 20 MINUTES FLAT ONLINE OF ANY MOVIE.
IF YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A COLLECTION, IT SHOULD BE BLUE RAY.

IF YOU'RE COLLECTION ISN'T BLUE RAY, YOU HAVE WASTED A SHIT LOAD OF CASH.

>>8148325
You purposely point out that your female. So that tells me that your a guy just pretending.

If I go over to a guys house, the last thing I'm thinking about is his DVD collection...

>>8148360
Whatever, dude.

>>8148332

It might be because she was so blunt about it. I mean shit, televisions are not really aesthetically appealing. You can't drive a television or wear it like a bespoke suit. There is no real use in visiting a television like a trip to Europe.

It just felt pathetic.

>>8148362
yeah well guess what homegirl? that's only because you don't go over to guys houses that much.

fucking hambeast

>>8148225

Agreed.

At my place, we have musical instruments and photography gear all over the place.

Chicks seem to think it's cool that we have real hobbies.

>>8148372

Thanks a lot, now I'm turned on.

I like to collect dvds.

I just need to work on the TV now.

>>8148372

>>8148055
Books are one of the few things I buy or rent, I cant stand reading a novel of text on a digital screen.

I've sold nearly all my possessions on eBay these past 2-3 months, made upwards of $650

>>8148148
Oh fuck off and grow some balls.

>>8148411
Dudebro, you don't know any movies that are VHS-only?

Guys with alot of physical media = guys with a lot of money to burn = guys who turn on women.

This is the reality, r9k.

>>8148156
Its a status symbol and fantastic for entertaining or having guests.

Having a nice HDTV with a sweet ass dedicated Media Center TV with 5000 different HD movies all ripped with cover art and all is so much more cash.

Not mention it takes alot less space.

Obvious troll is obvious

but for those who aren't convinced, why would a girl get wet over your giant movie collection?

I think she'd much prefer your physical appearance or social skills, this type of thing is not going to get you laid.

If I had lotsa money I'd buy all kinds of DVD, Blu Ray, and rare VHS.

>>8148551
It's more or less a status thing.

Scroll through a folder for films
Or look through a shelf, grab, look at back ect.

It's just mentally better to have a collection like this.

Picture related, mine.

>DVDs

Lol enjoy your completely obsolete collection

>>8148578
If you get a girl to your house you already proven those things.

What it comes down to is icing on the cake, and not to mention for yourself.

>>8148612
lightsabers?

that's actually pretty cool

Here's my collection, complete with some pirated p90x.

>>8148612
>helps you get laid
>Star Wars and LoTR posters
>lightsabers on wall
>LIGHTSABERS

enjoy your hand

>>8148616
Hey man, there is still alot of films not on blu-ray.

Do you know how hard it was for me to find Let The Right One In on blu ray?

Had to go to a blu ray only shop in LA to get it.

>>8148612
If I saw that I would assume you are a boring guy because you have to fulfill your life with movies in order to fill some void, and you would actually spend money to do so.

>>8148612

Turn all your lightsabers on and then show us your collection!

>>8148640
Hey man, I wasn't siding with the 'get you laid' part.

I have a girlfriend of 2 years, I'm good brah.

>>8148372
This is a warning to all.

>>8148612
I disagree. Some people appreciate lack of clutter/dust-collectors and prefer simplicity.

I visited my old highschool buddies a few weeks ago. Hadn't seen them in months. Saw their dvd collection and instantly thought "lol deez niggas too stupid to torrent". Never went back.

>>8148657

aww man that's just mean :(

Of course you didn't go back. Your the weirdo in the group.

>>8148679
They actually wanted me to move in. Fuck that, these niggas are so dumb they microwave metal bowls.

Depends on what kind of stuff it is. I currently would probably only own 3 tv series dvds & a few movies. A lot of them arent really worth buying.

>>8148612
dude do you really need light sabers on the fuck wall?


what the fuck man

OP, I agree with you, that is a might fine collection of media. I applaud you're gaul to collect such items. Good day sir, and have a nice view of the media for who you can employ.

no job+ i want to own a house some time in the next 15-20 years

which means paying for software and movies ( for the most part, not saying never) can go die in a fire until i get a real job, and budget enough for a house

This is why I torrent everything and then burn it to disc.

>>8148708
THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS

WHAT WILL OP DO NOW

>>8148692
>dude do you really need light sabers on the fuck wall?
I wish, my fuck wall is filled with semen stains.

Remember those stupid fucks that spend $1000s on VHS and now it's sitting in the basement? The other day I was in Good Will and I saw the whole Batman collection in VHS.

It's 2010, it's about time you buy a large HD and store it in there.

Buying DVDs is for the birds and dumb fucks, instead of $1500 worth of DVDs, put it into your saving accounts, or open a side business.

Say you bought a DVD for $15 a pop (I know some cost more, some cost less)

$15 x 100 DVDs is $1500.

When DVD becomes obsolete, you're going to start over with Blue Ray.

This is where you're leaking your money.

>>8148735
HD's are annoying, you look like such a dork if you whip one out to watch a movie, plus they cost too much to just chuck around.

I go for pirating then burning, it's not free but it's much more secure and you can use a disc anywhere

bitches come into my house and see white, undecorated walls and zero furniture, and when they ask me where all my stuff is I throw them on the bed and say, "right here!"

>he buys dvds
>laughing girls.jpg

>>8148735
It's a pretty well known fact that blu-ray is the end of technology as far as quality viewing goes.

The only thing better at this point is watching this film be made live.

Although sure when all films are in 3D we're going to need to disk and such but that's at least 30 years away.

>>8148735
>Remember those stupid fucks that spend $1000s on VHS
Remember those stupid fucks that spenT $600 dollars on a bluray player that was supposed to have some gaems?

>>8148783
cool story bro

my friends and peers don't give a shit, they just care about watching the movie, not where it came from or what medium it's on

most of them don't have blu ray players so my hdd = HD movies, shit sux for you bros still buying dvd's

>>8148774
>>8148735
>poor fags implying $1,500 is a big deal.

DVD sales are nothing but disgustingly huge profits for the same corporations who are using that money to censor your freedom with shit like ACTA.

>>8148774
Me, I don't buy DVD anymore I buy blu-ray.

I also don't look at it like that. My media budget is 1 blu-ray per week and 1 xbox/ps3 game every 2 weeks.

This is acceptable and welcomed.

>>8148816
You're being sarcastic right?

>>8148853
That's 240 a month. 2880 a year.

That's a new car down payment in one year.

How do you fucking guys make this kind of money? YOU'RE ON 4CHAN.

>>8148853
they'res not even 50 blu ray titles worth buying atm

>>8148827
OP picture collection looks around 2-7k mark, I'm pretty sure you can spend money more wisely then that.

Nope.

>>8148774
If somebody spends more then $5 on a dvd they should be lynched.

The only legitimate reasons to pirate are the following:
1) if you're shit broke and can't afford food, let alone entertainment
2) if you're trying something unfamiliar and want to see if it's any good or not before you buy it (e.g., I go to the library to take out a book, if I like it, I buy it later on down the road)

>>8148894
Every film is on blu ray now.

Only old people and dummies buy DVDs, start torrenting it ya niggers.

>>8148853

I take it you live with your parents so you got alot of disposable income.

>>8148926
Agreed.

If everyone pirated, there would be no fucking industry.

And don't worry anon one day they're going to crack down hard, so enjoy it while you can.

Well of course I have disposable income.

I don't live my parents, but sadly I don't live on my own. Renting a room sucks man.

>>8148926
Incorrect, sir.
The only reason (singular) for pirating is:
WAREZ ALL DAY, EVERY DAY.

I collect old comic books and have a whole army 1000+ of plastic army men. Girls love it, I get laid every other day.

>>8148926

Are you trolling?

If I read a book once, I'm done with it. Why the fuck would I need to buy it? Same goes for movies. What the fuck are you going to do on a Saturday night, re-watch the same movies 3 times?

I have pirated copies of everything because it's just more convenient. No unskippable menus, no discs to scratch or lose, no DRM to prevent me from putting a copy on my mobile device of choice.

Sure, I have legit copies of some things, but space is limited and I have to prioritize.

>>8148985
I honestly don't give a fuck if the movie industry dies, nothing of value is lost.

Also, people actually rewatch movies? I never NEVER re-watch a movie. I also don't re-watch the same porn scene.

Come on, there's alot of new movies to watch, stop re-watching the same shit!

>>8148428

This faggot doesn't even have work clothes. College tool.

I own very little as well, but I have my own apartment, so that includes furniture and decor. Also, fucking work clothes and a bottle of 18 year Jameson. It doesn't, however, include those obnoxious fucking foot shaped shoes.

Fuck this guy. Good idea and all, but what a tool.

>>8149048
>somebody doesn't know what MAAFIA refers to.

I rewatch films all the time cause I love watching films with different people/groups.

>>8149068
>implying that I don't know what tool I am using to type these and make sure it's sent. THE INTERNET.

I have about 3000 pirated DVDs in printed covers. I paid a fraction of what you did and people are probably more impressed when they see them.

if i like something a lot i will buy the DVD. if not, fuck it.

I doubt a woman is going to be turned on by plastic discs in the same way guys don't care about monsterous shoe collections.

I got laid (many times) too with flicks too, but I used rentals and she never noticed when a night's offering was being chosen, I had her on the phone and a redbox window up live at the same time.

>>8149081
>this has nothing to do with anything being discussed here

no, printing dvd covers is for faggots

buy them or leave them on the computer

>>8149182

You honestly think -- a Cheap jew like myself -- would pay for Net flix? LOL.

It's all a feeling thing, guys.

There is something reward walking up to a collection of great films, no matter what format, and picking one, looking at the box art, and deciding what to watch.

Most of the pirated stuff come from the UK as they have programs that will never come to America. Most of the countries shows are not even out on DVD at all.

I'm a member of a private bittorent group for British TV and I watch the latest British shows from the BBC, ITV, 4 and five, not to mention shows from sky and the UKTV channels.

>>8149163

Meh, either way is fine.

OP you are so correct.

Anons, get yourself a nice collection of books. Just get stuff from the used bookstore, it doesn't matter. Chicks dig that shit.

>>8149224
You're not cheap, you're just poor.

>>8149224

>>8149254

Nah, even if I had 1 mil sitting in the bank I have better ways to spend it (ie, buying land) then buy DVDs like a bird.

I went through the DVD buying phase, bought like 20+ DVDs but ended up giving it away.

Lol at the silly faggots who think they can compete with my collection of entertainment.

Why would a movie theatre spend money on posters that won`t be seen when the room is dark.

You, start making sense, now.

>>8149727
Butthurt detected.

It's ok bro, the action figures next to your TV will calm you down.

>>8149795
Why would I spend money on buying blu-rays and dvd's I won't actually physically see while watching movies?


oh shit just got real!

>>8149795
Media center PC, silent and out of view >> your DVD collection.

>people implying that a 60' plasma with blu-ray is not better quality then the theater.

I pirate things because even if I had the money to purchase, most of them, I wouldn't. That's it.

>>8149817

Probably because the more things you own the bigger your penis is.

>>8149727
>>Implying that people are easily distracted rather than sensible about their movie watching environment.

>>Implying that you would be comfortable watching movies in a pig disgusting 4chan dweller basement.

>>8149842
I've never cared for qaulity of films. I mean a movie in low res on pc laptop screen is fine for me. If other people don't like it tough shit, it's not like I invite people over to my house anyway.

>>8149798

Please, do not waste anyone`s time with this juvenile macho posturing.

Why save money? Why?

What's the point after you have a house, a car, and a secure job?

There is no fucking point.

I started pirating everything when companies stopped making DVDs that worked.

It's nice to have box sets of the shows and movies I like, but if I can't play them, then what's the point? I just dropped a few hundred dollars on a nice big external hard drive and never looked back.

>>8149891

Some men can drink budweiser their entire lives and think it`s fine.

Others have refined palettes that do not accept such blandity.

Yeah, that gets you laid, having movies. You're sad.

people you buy dvds = social life
people who don't buy dvds = no social life.

these are facts.

>>8149891
You never cared for qaulity BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE QUALITY BECAUSE YOU ARE FUCKING POOR.

>picture this
>invite a girl over

I'm sorry, OP. You lost me there.

I pirate because I'm a poor grad student and don't have money to throw away on physical media I'd rather digitize anyway.

>>8149934

People who buy DVDs = social people who require their possessions to exist in tangible form so they may look upon them and gain a sense of identity from their purchases.

People who pirate = unsocial lone wolves who have seen through the lies of corporate media and consumerism.

>>8149934
Invite people over
Stream movie to PS3
People think it's a blu-ray.
Profit.

ONLY R9K COULD TURN OWNING PHYSICAL ENTERTAINMENT VS PIRATING INTO A DISCUSSION ABOUT SOCIAL LIFE.

YOU GUYS ARE DERANGED AND NEED TO GET LAID.

>>8150016

HEY CAPSBRO, THE OP PUT IT INTO THE CONTEXT OF PIRATING VS OWNING AS IT AFFECTS ONE'S SOCIAL LIFE

THIS THREAD IS ON TRACK

I like both worlds honestly. I pirate the shit I might find lame and buy the products I know I'll love and would want to have in my collection.

People who buy films for the sake of having a omega ultra mode bookshelf full of dvds are really missing a important element in their life and should take some time to reflect.

>>8149984
>require their possessions to exist in tangible form so they may look upon them and gain a sense of identity from their purchases.

Right up until the next "hot" format comes out and they get to re-buy their entire collection.

>>8150016

Getting laid is fun and all good, but there is a time for getting laid and a time for discussion about things that are actually important in life.

/r9k/ is not for either of those things.

>>8150123

Gotta keep the corporate media machine going somehow! BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY IF YOU ARE NOT SPENDING MONEY YOU ARE NOT HAPPY.

>>8150123
blu-ray is only 4 years old and is still set to be the media everyone will use for years to come.

bitches don't know about my bluray.

>>8150169
Good! Then looking lame because your megabuck movie collection is now on-par with the guy who has a basement full of VHS tapes is YEARS away. Congrats!

>>8150252
In our time, bluray will never be replaced. It's going to be at least 20 years before regular dvds are gone as well.

Bluray is peaking how far qaulity can go.

is that manga? I think that's manga. looks too colourful to be dvd. it's manga. OP=virgin weaboo faggot

>>8150366

You do realize they said the same thing about vinyl.

The machine needs to keep releasing formats to keep their R&D departments going.

Please, don`t talk about things that are clearly out of your depth.

>>8150366
And 640K is more than anyone will ever need...

Why would I buy a movie when I can just watch it on the internet? I don't even need to download it.

I buy books a lot though. But that's only because I love the warm, cozy, feeling of snuggling up in a blanket, drinking hot coco and reading about Patrick Batemen cutting off a woman's nipples. Bliss.

>>8150397
Are you considering how good qaulity bluray is?

vinyl often had static and was too large to be practical.

Bluray is crystal clear qaulity with nothing needed to be improved. There will never be anything other then CD's for example because it's reached it's peak of qaulity. Same with mp3.

It's the peak.

>>8150366
That's bullshit.

In 50 years we probably won't even have movies on discs.

Collections?

Honestly, I don't see the appeal in physical copies of media atall.

Takes up space, can't be quickly searched through, is more difficult to back up, and perhaps most importantly of all, often isn't ready to viewed/read/listened to/used/played where I want it:

I want my music on my MP3 player and on my hard drive, not on a fucking CD - it's practically useless to me there.

>>8150429
People ARE improving sound systems though. The only reasons CD's have not been replaced yet is because CD sales in general are going down.

>>8150432
This is true, but you'll still have the SAME fucking qaulity as bluray.

That's the point, it's not going to get any better.

>>8150429
The only thing that's going to replace bluray is going to be some 3d shit.

But that's years away.

>>8150397
Yea, it's all about the machine taking our money. It's not like people actually want high definition movies to go with their 1080p TVs.

You're an idiot.

>>8150497

>>thinks that Blu-ray is even half the resolution of a 35mm print of film.

lol nice one, next youll tell me CDs are as good as music can possibly sound.

>>8150546
Crude and illegible statement.

7/10.

>>8150557
>implying a format that will never be consumer friendly.

Think economics, friend.

>>8150509

You realize people said these very same things about DVD, right?

>>8150566

>>entirely missing point of 35mm being higher quality

the quality is there, we just don`t have the technology to reproduce it at home yet.

give it twelve years and full res 4096p will be commonplace

>>8150577
BUT watch a dvd, it's not perfect. You could tell back then.

Now watch a bluray. Perfection.

>>8150602
Lol you preach bullshit to get rage, I don't think so, tim.

I don't even download and save movies I watch (streaming FTW) what the fuck makes you think I actually spend my hard earn money to BUY IT?

>>8150615

>>thinks blu-ray is perfect

lmfao kid you are a laugh and three quarters

>>8150618

0/10 do not pass go do not collect 10bux do not post on 4chan

>>8150558

Crude, sure. Illegible? It's all English. I'm sure you've read and understood worse at some point in your life.

The corporations man. We'd all be in perfect bliss with VHS but they had to shove this down our throats. Forget the fact that people actually want and purchase these new formats.

>>8150631
Tell me the imperfections of this, bro.
http://forum.blu-ray.com/2565610-post1700.html

I would think any guy who wastes his money on buying shit is an idiot who doesn't know how to torrent. I'm not kidding when I say I'm impressed with tbs of media, it means you know your way around the internet and it means we can share movies and so on.

>>8150669
Yeah dude, it was all corporations.

It wasn't a huge technology leap, it was corporations.

You're deranged.

>>8150679

You speak of imperfections like there are going to be giant scratches and dust spots over digital film and movies that were made in this century.

You seem to not grasp the fact that DVD was still quite low res when compared to VHS. Blu-ray is capable of full 1080p but 1080p is not even close to the actual resolution that modern HD cameras shoot in.

4096p will be the norm in less than ten years.

>>8150679
The codecs used on Blu-Ray discs are all lossy. As such they are by definition imperfect.

>>8150762
>implying that bluray isn't capable of so much more, and it's our players and tvs that are slacking.

I know of the redone 5k camera, it's the way of the future sure. You don't think blueray can do 5k? They SHOOT redone 5k on bluray.

>>8150791
So then you'll be re-buying your collection 5K blu-ray?

That was kind of the point we were making...

What's in a name, etc etc.

Everyone in this thread thinks the experience of viewing an amazing film for the first time in theaters is the same as at home.

Nope, sorry kids.

>>8150817
Bluray is ALREADY capable of doing 5k right now.

Given the million dollar equipment in hollywood, if I was to go in a movie studio, pop my in my copy of Die Hard, I would get 5k.

>>8150827
Perhaps not, but I challenge you to go find a theatre playing casablanca near you tonight?

>>8150848
the Santa Monica Classic Theater only plays classics.

They were playing that last month. This month it's china town, the godfather, on the water front and annie hall.

Shit blows my mind.

>>8150827

You're right. At home, I don't have to deal with screaming babies, idiots answering their cell phones in the middle of a movie, some asshole kicking the back of my seat, and the tall guy who decides to sit in front of me.

Fuck paying $12+ a ticket for that bullshit.

>>8150791

>>Blu-ray max res = 1920x1080
>>Default Red One camera max res = 4096x2304

we`ve got a long way to go, considering IMAX film is even higher res than 2304.

>>8150844

>>thinks blu-ray discs contain footage that is higher res than 1920x1080.

shine on you crazy diamond.

>>8147999
BECAUSE WE ARGHH PIRATES

A secure future. I'm most at peace when i get my check in my account, check my grades for the quarter and i pass all my classes, etc... Job security in a good job is really wat worries me

I just shanghai that bitch's pants off. Then I sink my ballast 40,000 leagues into her gash.
