Press Releases and Film News / DVDs are the new vinyl records...
Last post by claws - February 23, 2026, 10:23:32 PMOn the other hand, half of all Gen Z people buying vinyl also don't own a record player. So, not sure what to make of this article.

Quote"I want something I can put on my shelf," Gannon said, having recently collected 200 discs. "I can go shopping in my closet and grab something and pop it in, instead of spending an hour scrolling through Netflix to find something and then just turning on the same TV show."
Local video rental stores like Vidiots, the Highland Park-based Vidéothèque and the Westside's Cinefile video store on Sawtelle are reporting higher rentals, purchases and foot traffic. Even Barnes & Noble, one of the last major retailers selling movie discs, sees sales growth in that area.
Similar to vinyl records that saw a resurgence among millennial customers, DVDs are enjoying a comeback with some Gen Z buyers, even though the discs no longer drive significant studio profits.
DVD sales have been falling for years, dropping more than 20% in 2023 and 2024 alone. However, the falloff slowed substantially last year when sales of DVDs, Blu-rays and 4K Ultra HD declined just 9%, according to the trade association Digital Entertainment Group.
In turn, boutique Blu-ray companies, like the Criterion Collection, are similarly on the rise. As one of the leading independent home-video sellers specializing in classic and contemporary films, Criterion confirmed to The Times the company's sales are seeing "significant year-over-year increases."
Peter Becker, president of Criterion, credits this continued annual growth to young customers' enthusiasm for physical formats.
"In the dawn of streaming, it seemed like maybe this was not going to happen, but it has definitely happened," said Becker. "We're seeing a lot of evidence, including at the Criterion Mobile Closet, that more young people are thinking about physical media in a different way. In an age where so much is available to us on demand, it becomes increasingly important to us."
Amy Jo Smith, president of the Digital Entertainment Group, said sales of physical media tend to peak around the release of highly sought-after titles like "Wicked" and other franchise collections.
"This is most clear in 4K UHD Blu-ray, which delivers a premium in-home viewing experience," Smith said, adding that "U.S. viewers spent 12 percent more buying titles on 4K UHD in 2025 than they did in 2024."
In January 2026, Vidiots said it had its biggest month ever — renting an average of 170 movies daily and renting 500 titles in just one day. Each disc rents for $3, including their most popular titles like David Lynch's "Wild at Heart" and Elaine May's "The Heartbreak Kid."
When it opened in 2023, Vidiots loaned out around 22,000 discs. A year later, it doubled to around 50,000. The shop's rental numbers have continued to rise, hitting a little over 1,000 movies a week in 2025.

Last post by lester1/2jr - February 23, 2026, 04:56:11 PMNightlight (2015) - It's always fun to write a splashy bad movie review, but this mostly just sucked and p**sed me off. It also isn't about a child's night light in their room, which would have been a better idea. ( A kid learning to not be afraid of the dark is tormented by an evil Spongebob nightlight!)
First, who is holding the camera? Cam bot from MST3K? I never figured that out. No one ever says anything about filming from behind the camera and there's no indication that they are filming it for some purpose. Okay though, we can try and overlook that. A bunch of likeable/ realistic enough teenagers are playing a hide and seek variation called Nightlight in a "haunted forest". A massively muddled and confusing debacle soon ensues. Wouldn't their parents get worried about them after a while? Are they Amish kids on Rumspringa?
This is a case where using AI would have been an improvement. At one point, the main girl was in a room and I saw an open door and said "I know that door is going to slam shut" and it did. I give them credit for using what appear to be actual teenagers in the roles. The mean girl stereotype girl was relatively attractive (don't have time to make saying this non creepy).
2/5
f**k this movie though

Television / Breaking Bad vs. Game of Thron...
Last post by Rev. Powell - February 23, 2026, 04:38:21 PMCopy pasted from "TV Guide" email newsletter:
Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones fans, get a hold of yourselves! There's a fandom war breaking out between the two factions over on IMDb, and it's both one of the most embarrassing things I've ever heard of and a reminder that the internet is exactly the right place for this kind of stupid stuff to happen so that we bystanders can enjoy it from a distance. It all started when the fifth episode of the Game of Thrones spin-off A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, "In the Name of the Mother," earned a rare 10/10 user rating on IMDb. (It's a good episode, but not 10/10 good.) Apparently, Breaking Bad's legendary episode "Ozymandias" held a perfect 10/10 rating for over a decade, and fans of that show could not stand that an episode from another show dare invade that sacred territory, so they started dropping 1-star reviews on "In the Name of the Mother." With the opening salvo fired, Seven Kingdoms fans countered with their own 1-star reviews of "Ozymandias," which was obliterated all the way down to a 9.6 rating as of this writing. ("In the Name of the Mother" is now a 9.5 pile of rubble.) Rather than share the spotlight, these fandoms chose violence. Ken Burns needs to make a docuseries about this.
I hate "fandoms."
