In Reply to: I don't even have Netflix. posted by grantv on February 4, 2009 at 12:28:01:
I enjoy listening to great music more than once, seeing Shakespeare plays or Mozart operas more than once, reading great books more than once, so I watch great films more than once - and sometimes they aren't even great films, but ones I simply enjoy very much. I like having them on hand to view any time, or access the bonus material when I want.
I'd never buy a movie just to watch it. I only buy what I've seen before.
Movies I just want to check out, or that I want to see only occassionally, those I rent, or use cable on-demand. Most movies released fall into that category.
I still prefer to see first run movies in a theatrical setting, up on the big screen in the dark with a crowd of stranegrs. Nothing compares to that communal ritual for me, when the movies are well presented.
Some of the films I own on DVD/BD are rare, imports etc. by favorite filmmakers or with favorite actors.
I don't buy movies cuz they're bargains, only because I love them and would watch them more than once. If you look at movies as product and diversions, not as essential or as art in themselves, then it makes perfect sense not to own many - or any, for that matter.
Soon enough I imagine few of us will have the storage media in our possession anyway. We'll be downloading movies from a central source, as many are downloading from Netflix now.
