This Reddit thread is so fucking depressing. Why, you ask?

1. The number of people convinced that the OUT was completely destroyed.

2. The number of people who want some Frankenstein'sMonster-esque mishmash of OUT and SE.

3. "Weren't the originals released on DVD in 2006?"... 'nuff said.

4. The (surprising) number of people who think selling an LD->BD rip would be acceptable.

5. The presence of the token "People still buy physical media???!" guy.

And, to a lesser extent...

6. The obsession over the ownership of the distribution rights.

I don't expect everyone to be like us, but I just don't understand these people.

I'm going to bed. -_-

Ugh, there was an article about the distribution rights on badass digest that made my blood boil. The author thought Fox literally owned the actual movies for some reason. I left a comment correcting him and he posted back several times saying I was wrong and that Fox still owned them and always would. I had to actually post a link to a '98 article saying that Lucas finally acquired rights to the original Star Wars film, but I got no response to that of course -_-

I personally don't find the Reddit depressing because they all pretty much have one thing in common (no matter how distorted their facts are) they want to see the OUT released, and that's what will encourage Disney to release the OUT, demand, regardless of the peoples' confusion :)
