I wonder how we ended up talking so much about luxury watches in this conversation about Hollywood and the tech industry. I still don't think there's a useful comparison to be made, even if we assume that luxury watches are immune to the same sorts of factors that made fancy hats and canes disappear. It's an impossibly large leap for me to treat Hollywood movies and entertainment as a "luxury good"; there's simply none of the same motivations behind it. It really isn't a status symbol to own a copy of the Criterion Collection on Blu Ray.
