I got tired of having to search and sign up for wherever my favorite movie is streaming this month, so I’m going back to DVDs for the foreseeable future, until the streaming overlords get their shit together. So… maybe forever. But at least for now.

It’s nice. I put a disc in, and press play, and it plays.

I hadn’t quite realize how much messing around the streaming services had added to my movie nights.

(Recover password, verify my email, sign up with a credit card, authorize the TV, remove the old iPad because of a device limit, sign in at least one extra time for no certain reason, sometimes discover I chose the wrong service and start over.)

    Heh. No harm done. I’ve already been thrift shopping like crazy. Lol.

      Lol, yeah. Suggesting thrift shops in Dull Men’s Club does seem a bit “preaching to the choir” now that I think about it.

      The remaining 10% of my collection was bought in bulk in one go; there was a Blockbuster near me that closed, and they sold off all their inventory for next to nothing.
