It's all about streaming movies through your computer. Netflix is doing it and so is this company out of Seattle called ReelTime.com. They have a lot of niche movies and a good selection of horror as well as some documentaries and lots and lots of indies. Their rate is really cheap too. I'm thinking of signing up for a free trial. Apparently, you can also hook it up to your TV so you can still get comfy on the couch. What do you guys think?

[Bob Samonkey]

WOW!!! Sign me up!!!!11!!

[TheBaxter]

looks like i'm gonna get a lot of use out of this pic today:

[thebostonlocksmith]

I'm going straight home to smash up my now worthless DVD's...

[Chilli]

Screw this, I like having the option to break my DVDs should I choose. If you stream them, I'll have to break the laptop when the films crash.

[havocSchultz]

Perhaps!

Now that we've had this startling revelation about DVDs, I would hope that everyone does the responsible thing.

Around 37.5 tons of that comes from free AOL discs.

Do people still use AOHell? Wow!

Some people use Linux. Its a crazy world.

Linux is not something to be mocked. AOHell, yeah.

There are people who don't know the internet is anything but AOHell or are frightened of the internets and want a hand to hold. I was with AOL for a short while many years back and they kept sending me their discs for another five or six years. Some of the packaging was pretty cool, except it had the logo.

I can't recall the name of the movie, but there is a funny scene where they make a collage of all the AOL discs - they have this hanging on their wall. Anyone remember what film that's from?

Yes, my Mother uses AOHell. It does come in handy for the timid internet/computer user.

[havocSchultz]

Anyone picture The Todd in a smoke filled lounge, up on stage, wearing a purple polyester suit, swinging a microphone, and just a few claps in the audience, perhaps some tomatoes and lettuce on stage?

[Fried Gold]

I think it was some Roger Corman film I vaguely remember seeing.

[DennisMM]

In the film, Maui, was the artist waiting for just the right AOL disc to finish the piece? There's a nagging memory but I can't get the title.

YES!!! Exactly. It's bugging me now. For some reason I wanna say "The Slums of Beverly Hills", but I'm not certain.

Would you like a TV that connects to the internet so you can watch Amazon VOD? How about a Blu-ray player that connects to BD-Live via wi-fi? While you're at the store be sure to pick up an in-ground bathtub for your new home theater set-up. You know you want to. I do.

MUBI Movies: BATTLES WITHOUT HONOR AND HUMANITY
A look at part one of Kinji Fukasaku’s Yakuza epic.

MUBI is a streaming service catering to cinephiles who believe in quality over quantity. Each day, MUBI adds a new film to its library, where it will stay for 30 days, after which it circulates out and gives room for another new entry. Throughout 2017, we will highlight one MUBI movie per month to help illustrate the catalog’s breadth and importance.

In other words, its for about 10 people.

All snark aside, its cool and all that this service is available I guess, but man, talk about a small market. I guess for 6 bucks a month it ain't bad if you're into films no one has ever seen.

BMD Extra, Extra: ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY
You've all seen the movie and will be buying this anyway, but are the extras worth your time?

As sales of physical discs (Blu-ray and DVD) decline, the idea of bonus features becomes less and less essential for new, mainstream films. There will always be a market for library titles with extensive retrospective commentaries and documentaries (see: Criterion, Scream Factory, etc), but for new films it's a dying trend. "Extra, Extra" is an attempt to encourage the studios not to give up on us disc champions, by mostly skipping over the film itself (which you can find reviews for anywhere) and focusing on the bonus features they were kind enough to include. Viva la physical media!

After a torturous wait of three months and change, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is finally on Blu-ray, so you can relive the nostalgic memories of fifteen weeks ago without shelling out theater ticket prices.
