That's not a Blu-Ray.  That's a Red-Ray.

I tend to buy new films on Blu-ray rather than DVD, these days. If a 70mm print isn't available, of course. :P

Well, yeah. I only buy on Blu-ray these days.

I also tend to use the terms as they were intended. All video disks are DVDs, but certain ones are standard definition, unfortunately referred to as simply DVDs and more recent technology includes Blu-ray DVDs, which, depending upon the compression level, are about as High Definition as any consumer can find.
Those collections with four or six movies on one Blu-ray DVD are about as HD as a standard DVD!

I do not think I have bought a standard definition DVD in over four years, except for an ancient movie I love found in a three dollar bargain bin which I had probably not even yet been replaced from VHS days. (The only VHS I still own are family movies and even those are backed up on DVD)

 :LOL:

Recently, several Hitchcock films have come available on standard DVD for near pennies and I just grabbed all I could find. I do know that a NEW re-compression of his old filmstock onto Blu-ray would be amazing, but I seem to be unable to resist them at the price of three or four bucks.

Otherwise, I just buy recent movies I am interested in owning on Blu-ray format. Some of these newer movies have incredible sound! Even cartoon movies can have amazingly detailed and deeply engaging soundtracks.

IS that from "2001 ...?"

It is. One of the greatest 70mm shows I've ever experienced. It's a shame that experience is denied most people today. Kids talk about 4k and think it is something to be amazed by.

You haven't seen anything until you've witnessed a 70mm show, 3 ft from a 50 ft screen. The resolution is beyond anything that is available today.

I set a limit of 7 tops and bottoms, one set for fall/winter and one for spring/summer.  Seven sets of underwear, 3 F/W and 3 S/S nightwear, 3 pair of shoes - yard, around the house and out.  One coat.  Bear in mid that I don't need to go to work and I live in a pretty warm climate. Similar rules for PA and the PR. 

3 sets of towels for each of us.

I'm going to use grocery boxes for food storage containers, crafts, etc.  When the box is full I will go through it and decide what to keep.   Hopefully this will keep the clutter contained and within reasonable limits.

  It's good to have a system.  I'm weeding out a ton of stuff!  I want to be ready to travel light!  :viking:

I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

.Benevolent if you toe the line.

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.

  Last night I photographed another bundle of old cards and letters and then, having digitally "hoarded" them,
   I shredded them.  My lifetime hoard of correspondence has been reduced to one very small bag's worth.  :thumbup:

  Ah jeez.  :laugh:   I get the value if old records, I really do.  But my hoard of old holiday cards
  isn't that important to me, and I wanted very much to be rid of the paper clutter.
  Besides the mice, I've seen silverfish in this place, and silverfish looooove paper, photographs, etc.

Put it on another data storage device, so there are two digital copies if one is damaged or corrupted. Another memory card is fine, or a thumb drive, external hard drive; anything will do.

Was assuming the opposite. If so, then maybe back up digital copy isn't that important.
