Remember when people thought the internet would make it easy to find information and shit but now it's less trouble to find a physical copy?

Prime has the best selection of movies on any streaming service though if you are into the golden age of the 70s. I have seen many movies on there that are only available on oop boutique blu rays or are just put out by some studio for a month before disappearing.

>>213945517
still harder to find physical shit on amazon than it used to be.
>>213945583
>best selection
of purchases from other streaming services, yeah.

>>213945402 (OP)
I would expect users of this site to have basic computer literacy like being able to watch shows and movies without paying

I'm not asking for it be a huge collection, just please buy literally any DVDs. Its the most convenient thing ever and have it forever. I don't even care if its like Ghost Dad or Home Alone 3 or some random shit, just get some DVDs, you won't regret it. You might even find a movie you're looking for.

The ads aren't even intrusive. You get like two ad breaks per movie and that's it.

>>213945712
i only buy obscure straight to video 90s releases

>>213945653
>of purchases from other streaming services, yeah.

Yeah but they are available on prime for periods of time without buying through the sub service. I have seen movies like The Hospital, Who'll Stop the Rain or Busting which were hard to see at various times. The other streaming services are too busy with original stuff and hardly every put movies on including new blockbusters. You can watch Jaws or the Matrix for the umpteenth time if you want tho.

I have Prime (without the BS video upgrade) and just stream all the shows bootleg style. Pay streaming is an absolute joke.

Strange. I do not have this problem on my computer.

The thing about DVDs though is that they knew this very well, that people will find a way to watch it for free, which is why DVDs started having much more bonus content. They'd actually give you solid reasons why owning the movie would be better and treated you with some respect. They don't really give you anything to sweeten the deal anymore, or any bonus shit for buying the movie at all for that matter. Totally soulless.

I've been watching Alien: Earth with my mom and her husband. For the first two episodes I pirated it and brought it over, then we learned it was on Disney+ which they have. So we tried watching this week's episode that way and bros... I shit you not... there were at least 5 three minute long ad breaks on their PAID service. We all agreed to just go back to having me pirate it from now on. That shit is RIDICULOUS

>>213945980
DVDs also had fun custom navigation menus. I don't think they really do that much with Blurays anymore? I dunno I've never owned Bluray.

>>213945654

those people are long gone. like the ents and elves. with only a small amount of us still here

>>213946011
>with my mom and her husband

>>213946118
Well he's not my dad, and saying stepdad feels kinda childish considering I'm almost mid 30s

>>213945402 (OP)
If you click the prime video logo at the top of the screen, it'll just show you watch you can actually watch without any further charge.

>>213945719
Mine might be glitched because I don't get ads, even on ones where it says there's ads.

>>213945719
All ads are intrusive. It doesn't matter if there's 2 or 200, it's the principal of paying and still having to put up with that shit.

When was the last time anyone was convinced to buy something because they saw a TV ad for it anyways?

>>213945654
This is the capeshit board dude I'm surprised these people know how to wipe their own ass

>>213946139
I'm 33 and refer to my mother's husband as my stepdad. They've been married since I was 8 though.

>>213945654
There’s honestly a lot of niche stuff that you can’t find torrents for tbf

>>213946226
The only thing that makes some of these streaming services worth any money at all is access to sports. Other than that, their business models are to trick people into paying for a GUI that allows for actual purchases. It's downright evil.

>>213945980
I remember one of the features some movies did on the DVD release was the ability to view a scene from a different angle. Which now you can’t access whatsoever if you find those same movies on streaming

>>213946266
Brother you can find absolutely anything if you know where to look. There's nothing so niche that one torrent site or another direct download archive site won't have stored away.

>>213945402 (OP)
I pirate everything so I never have this problem

>>213946265
Eh if I knew him for that long it would be different but they've only been married for like 4 years now

>>213946226
>le principal
You white boys bitch more than women.

>>213946266
wrong. you have to know where to look. there are plenty of private p2p trackers that have rare media.

>oh a commercial
>time to take a shit
>just rewind the movie

>>213946320
>race out of fucking nowhere

>>213946266
I didn't mean you shouldn't buy physical copies of things you like. What flicks on Prime and Paramount are you trying to watch that you can't find in booty bay?

>>213946332
Yare yare

>>213946336
>>just rewind the movie
I'm sick of this lie^

If you DARE stop or rewind the film on any of these streaming services, be prepared for glitches that force you to watch commercials and then to kick you in the nuts after that it further refuses to show the part you wanted to see.

>>213946353
Bitching is a feminine trait.

>>213946460
That shit is still around?

>>213945712
*If* I would buy a DVD I would copy just the movie file to another disc. I remember when I used to watch DVDs there were tons of unskippable shit.

>>213945402 (OP)
yep, its bullshit

>>213945517
>people thought the internet would make it easy to find information
This was true until about 2007 when the whole thing was corporatized.

>>213946491
Yes.

Paycucks are pathetic. All this shit is available for free, and most of it isn't even worth that much.

>>213945980
Honestly we never got see how good DVD extras could have been. Even now someone could make something amazing with that format. It would be a huge selling point for anyone who did it, they'd have to make it available through streaming to sell it but still.

>>213946676
I didn't say racism is bad. I said you're a little retarded. If you don't like n word reddit is down the hall

>>213946676
Your brain has been destroyed by Jewish propaganda. Unfortunately the only cure is suicide.

>>213946029
Yup, there'd be all kinds of animations, footage playing from the movie, sometimes even original footage filmed just for the dvd menu, you might even get to see a cutscene where you move to the next room to see the next menu. But it just slowly got lazier and more generic and you could literally see it happening. Compare The Grinch (2000)s DVD menu to the 2018 one, that's an 18 year difference and there's no contest as to which is more visually appealing and contained more content, and that's not even me comparing the movies themselves, just their menu select.

>>213946672
I have a jailbroken firestick, but I have Prime only for free shipping.

>>213945719
My torrents have zero ads.

>>213946672
>All this shit is available for free
Not entirely true and for the part of them that are, they're usually lies. I tried to stream a "1080p Blu-ray rip" of a film the other day and it was clearly a lie, as it was sub-480p.
Then having a server crash or give you trouble is fun.

>inb4 torenz

Yeah I don't like to waste my time. Most of that stuff is that same trash files.

I'm going to let you all in on a secret, I shouldn't be saying this but whatever
>get real-debrid
>sideload stremio on your tv
>sign into your real-debrid account
>stream ANYTHING for like 4$ a month

What is real-debrid?
They have their own dedicated servers that act as a proxy between you and torrents. Once you add it to stremio, you can stream torrents directly through your TV.

And it has literally every resolution, the only limit is the torrents themselves.

>>213945402 (OP)

that’s not very much money lol I always feel like such a chad when I come onto this site

Peak Boomer wisdom.

>>213946801
>shitty pirated
It's the same as what you'd pay for retard. The only reason you pay real-debrid so your ISP doesn't screw you over, or have fun paying for a VPN.

>>213946797
It is when you already have Sling.

Jesus, just reading this thread makes me realise just how low IQ and stupid this board has become.
>>213945654
Same, and it's not even that hard.

Lads I dont pirate stuff I just google ("insert movie title here" streaming online free) and click links until one shows the movie I want. Thats not pirating right? The website never says it is illegal to be there

>>213946823
>It's the same as what you'd pay for retard.
No. Good try, though.

>>213946981
That’s so fucked bro.

>>213946514
True, that's probably the worst aspect of DVDs, they had to get their unskippable ads in somewhere. It sucks you have to go through that everytime you want to watch the movie, but I still prefer that over ads that outright interrupt the film and that you have to see multiple times.

>>213945402 (OP)
>what the fuck is going on
everything we warned you about when we warned you about streaming

>>213947261
There are players that are able to skip those otherwise unskippable parts.
Another option is on the software side; I used to have disc cloning software that stripped the part that prevented skipping.

>>213945654

>>213945719
People complaining about streaming service ads forget about the unskippable movie trailers DVDs had. Doesn't matter what it is, ads will be forced into it because advertising is what really runs the fucking world sadly

>>213946823
>have fun paying for a VPN
I guess I will, since I'd rather not lose my internet (they have done it before) and I'd rather have permanent access to the files. Plus curating my own service is fun. I can live with a half dozen tb of pirated content for 9.99 every few months whenever I need it.

Streaming discourse again huh.

>>213949301
>Doesn't matter what it is, ads will be forced into it
I mean I guess if you just absolutely have to paypig, maybe.

>Have Prime because I use Amazon a lot.

Certain LLMs work just as well as Google used to, but it's only a matter of time before they're sterilized too and only push slop paid for by the highest corporate bidders. Grim

>>213950573
I dunno, man, I've just never once seen an ad on Prime Video. Sometimes it says "Can't fast forward while ad is playing" or whatever, but there's no commercial, it's just the show.

>>213946981
I'm pretty sure the rule is that whoever uploaded the content is illegal, and downloading the content is illegal, but just watching it is fine

Assuming that you live in the land of the free, of course

Just pirate, you entitled retard. Most people already have prime. It's actually a pretty good collection of movies and series thrown on top of that.

>>213945402 (OP)
Every Normie I know complains about paying for all this shit but when I tell them it's all free on eztv or whatever they think it's too hard to go to website. If you're paying to watch anything in 2025 you deserve to get fleeced tbwhwyf
