Seriously, who gives a fuck?
99% of the Hollywood output is filler. I've got over a hundred DVDs in my Netflix queue. The 3 I have at home might get watched this weekend, or they might idle for 2 or 3 weeks until we get a chance to watch them. I can barely remember the titles, and much less care about the release dates. At the rate I'm going DVD players won't even made manufacturered anymore before I get through my queue. And I'm supposed to care about a 2 month DVD release delay?
Hollywood shoots itself in the foot, and then insists on finder bigger guns with which to do so. Eventually they'll delay the release dates so long nobody will remember they wanted to see the movies anyway.
- wmf 15y agoAt a couple points I emptied out my queue so it would have been nice to have had new releases, but I realize this isn't typical. I guess the idea behind this windowing is that advertising will create demand for new releases and lead to more sales since that demand can't be satisfied by Netflix/Redbox. It's cool to say you don't care or aren't affected by advertising, but a lot of people are.
