What truly sucks is that since streaming killed every video store on earth, when HBO memory holes a show like Westworld, it literally no longer exists in any form.
And this is why I still buy CDs.
Yeah, I said it. Come at me.
For whatever reason I don't have the same concern with music. That's always been limited relative to everything that's out there available. Even when I had over a hundred albums or so on cassette and CD, that's still nowhere near what I've had access to post Napster and now Spotify - which I largely don't have an issue with outside of what they pay artists. As a service I'm happy with it. I did try Tidal but it didn't pan out.
But I do collect Blu-Rays of all the movies I like the most, and I'm up to about 35 or so. I borrow them from the library once in a while too if it's a movie I haven't seen and isn't available on my streaming services.

I dare you to try to watch the Danny Boyle film 28 days later without buying a physical copy.
I don't wanna show you up, brochacho, but it looks like it's $3.99 to rent on Amazon Prime Video?
Oh god how embarrassing. I mistook 28 DAYS later for 28 WEEKS later, the one that can only stream on something called "Tubi."
I will never recover from this.

I was listening to the great Chapo podcast miniseries "Hell On Earth" about the 30 years war, and they mentioned "The Name of the Rose" as a period murder mystery set at a monastary. Was intrigued, Sean Connery is in it, F. Murray Abraham, etc. Can't watch it anywhere. Not streaming.

I have the book. Didn’t know it was a show. Gave up on reading it once. Always meant to get back to it. Jocephus is good for finding this stuff on YouTube.
@jocephus, come with your Katrina and the Waves and your YouTube tricks.
Amazon made Name of the Rose into a show a few years back with John Turturro. No idea if it was any good. I’ve seen the movie and remember liking it.
yeah - I remember seeing it in the theater too. Has a very young Christian Slater in it. Surprised you can't find it anywhere.
It’s crazy they’re making tv I would absolutely be interested in and I literally have no idea for years because there’s so much tv. Eff the writers, viewers need to go on strike.
