No Streaming? No Watching


I want to see this but not on my phone.
I only watch movies on my big screen but they offer no way to do this.

It’s 2020.

There's a DVD release isn't there?

What’s a DVD?
Think I saw one in a museum once.

Seriously, DVD is a quarter century old (23 years, to be exact).
We are *two* disc formats past it already.

You may not want to watch it on DVD but it's a way to watch it on big screen.

So what are the options when you rent it or buy it on their site? There's purchase and rent of a digital stream. None will allow you to watch it on a TV?

There's always the high seas.

The site gives no detail at all.

DVDs are those things you can order when your Woke Streaming Sites don't have what you want to watch that are literally the exact same thing as Blu Rays to pretty much everybody but Fat Video Nerd Incels who actually spot the difference besides fancier looking boxsets to justify dropping 200 bucks on.

About eleven, sir.

I still watch, and occasionally even buy, DVDs but you don't need laser-like nerd vision to be able to tell the difference between a DVD and a Blu-Ray. While it can help if you have a player with great upscaling capabilities, the difference between the two formats is pretty noticeable.

With 4K HDR it’s getting hard now to watch even 1080p. The main thing is noticing flaws like vibrating horizontal lines or stairsteps I never saw before. That’s the problem with upgrading anything: you can’t go back. Ignorance may indeed equal bliss.

And “the wheel” and “fire” are both millennia old, and they work just fine. I suggest you focus on the result and not on superficial techno-snobbery. If you decide not to do that, then wallow in your misery.
