Lately Ive decided to get some DVD box sets since everything I like is removed from streaming forever on the whims of an idiot that knows less about tv than I do( and I know very little!)
Starting small Ive got
Star Trek prodigy ( s1 pt 1. Pt 2 will be along shortly)
Venture brothers complete series and Movie
I plan to get lower decks and Strange new worlds after that who knows?
In this thread recommended dvd/Blu-ray box sets you love and brag about your vastly superior dvd/blu-ray collections

My blu ray collection is coming along pretty well though.
It's important that it's the by Blu-Ray.com one because there are a thousand different garbage apps impersonating it
It does basically everything I need,
You can scan the barcodes to add shit to your collection
It creates a profile on blu-ray.com you can link others to (Here's mine)
And you can sort by movies owned within that profile link by clicking "Complete", which is handy for seeing what movies you have within box sets and similar.

It’s worth a decent amount because it’s out of print and hard to get
It's likely we get a new version of Dogma relatively soon, for what it's worth
I just saw it was selling for like $200 at places and it's so tempting.

I don't own too many DVDs besides a handful of my favorite anime, my main physical media vice these days are old CDs of stuff I'm nostalgic for from used store bargain bins -- CDs are so much cheaper and more compact than records for all but the weird rare stuff that only got limited printings and/or hasn't been reissued since the '90s
Let me tell you about vinyl records, they aren't the ideal way to listen but they are cool physical objects and art pieces to go with your albums and usually I get digital files with the purchase anyway so they actually are awesome
hook this shit directly into my veins

I started collecting albums, but I've got to find a better storage solution as my dog chewed the corners of several of them, thankfully the actual albums are still fine. I haven't done a trip to the local album store in a while and probably should.

Venture Brothers DVD Series (Which apparently isn't actually leaving streaming now and certainly will be replaced by a blu ray bundle I will also buy).
ReBoot
Banshee
The Magicians
I wanted to cover any physical options some things are only on DVD
I own the following films on VHS:
Sub or dub?
Oh, I have no idea (and they are packed away, so I ain't prying them out to examine)
But I'm hoping they're dub!
The Columbo box set.
Every one buy that.

I love Walmart when they break down prices by weight.
This is legit somehow the release I'm most excited for this year, and it wasn't lacking competition

Probably the coolest presentation we have is a Gojira set by, of course, Criterion.
Last night, I ordered a copy of the special edition DVD of Rivers and Tides after sitting on it for years. Fifteen bucks for an incredibly soothing documentary on the little slices of life and challenging craft of environmental art by Andy Goldsworthy. It is as much about his art as what drives people to make art, and the process of failing, and is overall very meditative. For me, it's Art with philosophy, not pretention but ymmv.
I'm curious if the Newmovie US bluray transfer is different than the apparently-unimpressive Artificial Eye UK one, and for ten bucks, maybe I'll indulge in that since I now see that it is the special edition, sigh.
Banger of a month, really looking forward to sitting down with Heroic Times and Once Upon a Time in Uganda
I guess now it's a matter of waiting to see what the actual included extras look like, because new interviews and commentary made up a huge bulk of the list
So the commentaries and essay are gone but everything else seems intact from the original announcement. I’m more than fine with that tbh, though I’d have liked that stuff
