He/they. i reblog and post whatever. sometimes i do art.

i will never be against piracy ever but i also need physical media to remain

the average blockbuster carried about 3x as many films than that that are streaming on Netflix or any other streaming service, physical media along with piracy is more important than ever.

I thought this wasn’t true, because how could it be true? How could one small store have more movies than an online database? So I googled it.

I am surprised and depressed to learn it’s 100% true, according to google. A Blockbuster store was required to have a minimum of 7000 titles, but most averaged about 10,000. Netflix has 4000 movies. (And 1800 tv shows if you want to count those, but even included, it’s still less)

Now I’m even more depressed about the collapse of physical rental stores.

BONUS: They weren't beholden to Who Owns What IP Right Now. They got videos from everyone. You didn't have to pay separately for the rights to rent from the Disney Shelves and the WB Shelves and bler bler bler, and they only STOPPED having those movies when the tapes broke or someone never returned 'em.

friendly reminder that your local library will have lots of physical media and if they don't have what you're looking for you can most likely ask them to purchase it or order it from another library through interlibrary loan

Shoutout to Scarecrow Video- they have over 148,000 titles, most of which you can rent by mail. Rentals have been down in the last few years so they're asking for support!

boosting this for Scarecrow Video. It's also now a non-profit.

Shinichi looking at photos taken of him when he was the same age as "Conan" and noticing the massive difference between the photos of them and Conan's.

Shinichi's are mostly of him alone, sometimes with Ran, sometimes with her and Sonoko, and the group photos with classmates show how distant he was to everyone his age. Many of them he looks annoyed to be having his photo taken.

Conan's are always surrounded by people in some way and even the photos that show him looking annoyed you can see the fondness in Conan's eyes in the camera regardless. He looks like he belongs.

And Shinichi is once again hit with everything he lost when he returned back to his original body.
