#stop lying by omission to the young'uns! – @yepthatsacowalright on Tumblr

Two weeks into tweeting at Netflix for a Midnight Mass physical release and I’m starting to worry that there is a younger generation that is so far removed from Blu-rays/DVDs that they don’t even understand the appeal of them over streaming. Blu-rays/DVDs = Blooper reel! Deleted scenes! Audio Commentary! Behind the Scenes/Making Of Features! Concept Art! More in-depth interviews! Sometimes hidden easter egg fun stuff! If you’ve ever searched on YouTube for the blooper reel or a deleted scene of a favorite show recently made, a lot of the time it’s only on YouTube because someone ripped it off their Blu-ray/DVD copy and uploaded it!! If the Blu-ray/DVD doesn’t exist in the first place, that doesn’t happen!! I’m just...are we really doing this? Are we really letting society as a whole forget about how fucking great owning a physical copy of your favorite show/movie is?!

#i've had a few people suggest to me to bootleg midnight mass and make my own blu-ray/dvd instead #and all due respect - that's not the point!!#i thought knowing the glorious benefits of a blu-ray/dvd release was assumed knowledge #but i don't think it IS #this depresses me greatly #especially for aspiring filmmakers #special features are the best way to get a window into that world and how it works #the amount of time i spent as kid obsessing over all the features and commentary of how 'the fugitive' was made #that knowledge still happily lives rent free in my brain #and people nowadays just...aren't gonna have that??#wtf #w the actual F #capitalism is TRASH #stop lying by omission to the young'uns!#netflix #streaming #this is the hill i die on i SWEAR IT #!!!
