So I love and collect movies, we’ve got well over 1500 individual movies in our library and I know we’ve all gotten used to hearing the arguments that you never really “own” anything with digital purchases, and companies can take these movies offline at any time etc etc. and that’s all true!
But another massive point i want to give physical media is also all the extras that come along with the discs.
These interactive DVD menus, the GAMES they would sometimes shove into the discs, the commentaries, making ofs, interviews, special features. If someone doesn’t upload them to youtube and save them they’re just gone.
I’m going through Disney plus right now because there are TWO disney movies I don’t own on disc and after watching the movie I went to their extras and it’s just the original trailer to the movie. I’m looking online at the list of features on the DVD and I’ve got:
- Deleted Scenes
- behind the scenes footage
- outtakes
- art galleries and storyboards
- audio and visual commentaries
- fact or fiction deep dive into the history of the movie’s lore
- how the language of the movie was created
- character design breakdowns
- interviews with the cast and creatives
oh yeah and FOUR of the movie’s trailers along with images of the print campaigns.
but thanks for that ONE trailer as an Extra DisneyPlus, yeah - I love that.
ok rant over - don’t throw away your discs y’all.
