Just a quick one here about LG stopping making Blu-ray players. Can Blu-ray disks be next? Will we have any physical media left?

    Optical discs produce an inferior image to film or digital transfers. They’ll get you a full image but they’re all built off dvd which took a black and white image and colored it in sending the color components down separate lines. While this will give you a clear image it’s really dated and if you can stream or download and watch through Apple play or some other provider do that unless it’s a 4k release that is disc only.

    Agreed! Dalton feels ahead of his time, especially when it seems like people criticized his Bond for all the reasons they LOVE Craig's - darker, grittier, more physical and lethal. Both excellent, but I find Dalton a bit more fun.

    How do we help stop this loss of players and media… Consumers need to understand what's required for 4K to deliver when they turn on the TV to watch a movie even with streaming. I assure you that there is a large percentage of people that have incompatible TVs and players in other words their 4K TV and players and HDMI cables that they purchased were the least expensive or purchased at different times. Resulting in incompatibility because they didn't read the specifications. That translates into disappointment and most people are not going to go and spend money again to realign their TV and their players and their cables to get what they think they purchased in the first place. That will go a long way to help the market... And at the same time physical media is not going to disappear the dust will settle at the present time and maybe like vinyl if it does disappear it'll raise its head again...

    Physical media isn't going anywhere. It's better than it's ever been. The reason why LG is not making blu ray players anymore is cause they haven't upgraded to any new ones. I don't remember the last time I saw someone buy an LG player. People are buying Sony or Panasonic. Hell I have a Phillips blu ray player.

  • @tyler2610

    I don’t really think disc rot is generally caused by handling the disc or damaging it as much as it is caused by manufacturing defects. I’ve experienced it in NOS sets that were still sealed but over 10 years old. Of course I can’t attest to how the set was stored before i bought it. I have had at least one set that I bought new around 2012-2013 and just watched last fall and the last disc in the set was showing signs of disc rot. It still played fine but eventually it won’t. I opened the set when I bought it, then never opened the case again or handled the discs until I watched it over 10 years later and my house is always air conditioned rarely getting over 75 degrees. I bought another set on eBay to replace the bad disc and sure enough that last disc oddly only had disc rot annd even worse than mine. I think WB discs are especially bad which this set was from the Warner Archive but I also experienced it with a number of the original releases of “Mission Impossible” released by Paramount when I bought that series last year.

    Good evening 😊 I love my physical media and have a collection of Blu-ray/ 4k steel books along obviously with a 4k Blu-ray player and TV. It would be a real shame if other companies followed suit and dropped all Physical media. Personally streaming is something I don’t do and it just isn’t the same as having a collection or rare numbered Blu-ray films or 4k steel books for that matter.

  • @willhemmings
    @willhemmings 11 дней назад

    Good thinking. I suggest also perhaps buying a second player - they turn up in exchange shops frequently. I never touch the playing surfaces of discs and select the pre owned ones carefully. Beware of buying pre loved family films from the charity shops. More often than not the parents let the children kick the discs around and they are scratched up too badly to play. Also the release buttons that hold the centre of the discs are not all the same design. Some release easily and others hold the disc in a vice grip. One new disc split in two attempting to free it from the case! I lament the passing of this versatile medium but will not subscribe to any streaming service

    Well done! The discs are very resilient. No worries about touching the surfaces. That said, it is good that you take such care in handling yours. I believe they will be VERY collectable in the future, so yours will be in top shape when you decide to sell for profit. :-)

  • @danilalikhachev341
    @danilalikhachev341 12 дней назад

    I absolutely love Sean Connery, and his version of Bond appeals to me simply by a virtue of looking and sounding like Sean Connery, with his unbelievable charisma and charm, part natural and part carefully crafted. However, I have to admit, when trying to imagine the cold-war-era hard-edge British spy from Fleming novels, I cannot imagine him looking anything like Connery. Or Roger Moore for that matter, who is also a charisma factory and a very inspiring figure, but of a very particular gentlemanly kind. I believe that Dalton was the only one who took the role so incredibly serious that he could set his own charming personality mostly aside and make place for that razor-sharp, weighty, almost tragic vibe that I would expect from Bond. Not to mention, he certainly looks the part wat more than eny other performer. Well, Brosnan is a close second I guess. Personally, I always imagined James Bond looking EXACTLY like Jason Isaacs in the later half of the 90-s, but Dalton during his tenure had almost the same vibe, and he certainly has put much more of his artistic craft into a character that doesn't necessarily require such depth

    Dalton, Craig, and Connery were the good ones. And I basically agree Dalton was the best, but it's a close thing. Lazenby gets short changed because he only got one, for which I blame the production team more than him. The movie was great if you ignore a couple specific moments. Moore was dreadful, and he only made one good Bond movie. I grew up with them, have seen them all multiple times....and I really can't figure out what there is to like about them other than Christopher Lee (and the changes they made...that book wasn't great).
