Hmm. I’d rather they keep them in standard def and cram as many episodes on each BR disc as they can rather than upscale, but okay.

Steve has said the bulk of the costs are in the content licensing rather than the discs, so fewer wouldn’t drop the price really. And apparently the blu-ray disc association doesn’t like it when main features are actually SD.

And it will be worth it where the film exists, plus titles and credits.

Not trying to be too nosy, but where are you hearing that the film stuff is going to be scanned in HD?

Well, time to start selling my DVDs I guess.

I’ll take them off your hands. Luckily all I’ve got on disc are the 60s stories and like two 80s stories, which I doubt will make it to BD anytime soon, if ever in the case of the 60s.

Fantastic, but old news. How disappointing 😕

Well, the details are new (and interesting, IMO). Was foolish to get hopes up for Phil turning something else over anyway!

True enough. I blame Paul.

Fantastic, but old news, this announcement was leaked from several online retailers weeks in advance. How disappointing there were no new discoveries 😕.

But this calls into question how they’ll deal with seasons with missing stories, or if they’ll even bother.

I do appreciate being able to save a ton of money since most of the DVDs are out of print now. I actually sold Robot for quite a bit more than I got it for in anticipation of this announcement.

I’m not sure I can generate enough arguments about it to carry me through the next three pages.

Don’t worry. Life finds a way.

Moderately annoyed and saddened.

Can you do anything about the hilt?

I feel like I’m being ignored and it pisses me off.

A definite improvement. It’s almost like they covered it in blue to cover up the aging effects.

Thanks.

Hi hi.

I thought Dunkirk was going to win Best Picture, but I was hoping for Shape of Water to.

I think that’s the problem. I feel like I put too much into maintaining friendships that the other person doesn’t really value. So it just ends up being work. That combined with what I said in my last post makes any kind of meaningful friendship really difficult.

And I appreciate the space here.

Congrats on the Oscar, Harmy.

Adam West was known primarily for TV work, and the Academy notoriously hates horror.

All of my friendships are entirely unrewarding. I might as well not know anybody.

I’m not sure what makes a friendship rewarding other than pleasure of company.

Dependability, loyalty, honesty, chemistry…

I don’t have people with whom I socialize on a regular basis and I’m not good at staying in touch. Maybe it’s a trust issue or extreme introversion but I’m pretty okay with it.

I certainly have issues putting trust in others, and have been told I am the most antisocial person they know, so who knows. All I know is I don’t feel like I’m getting the most out of life and feel mostly unwanted.

I suppose I’m just not convinced they’re very good friends.

Not watching it because I am alone.

Goddammit. I didn’t want to read that.

Yikes.

What have you been hearing about the Academy voters?

Still up. At her apartment when I shouldn’t be, doing stuff I should be avoiding (hence the still awake). She randomly decided to go take a shower. Should be encoding audio for HAL (sorry buddy, I only have one left to do, you’ll have them all tomorrow). I know what we are and I wish I were more so I keep letting this happen. I need to stop.

I can’t.

Ugh.

I know the feeling. However, not to the extent you are. Good luck. It’s hard.
