I got some Xrays back around the start of COVID and was also given them on a CD but I was fine with it because I remain consumptive of physical media.
I have not owned a computer with a CD player in a decade

My current desktop – yes, I said desktop – has a blu-ray BURNER.

Vansmack is literally going to have a stroke when he reads that comment. You got off easy.

I was hoping they were going to do a theatrical release but then again I'll gladly take six hours of Beatles footage. The video quality looks amazing for 50 year old film.

i have a DVD player than can be hooked up to the TV (but currently isn't). the only other disk-reader under my roof is a DVD burner in a desktop that i built in 2004 for music production. it runs windows XP, has never been online, and hasn't been booted up for at least 5 years. all this to say that if you gave me a CD or DVD i
could play it, but i'd be grumpy about it. i think that puts me half-way between jules and vansmack.

My main stereo’s CD player is down.. it’s one of those 5 disc Sony carousel things… am not missing it… playing only LPs (CDs in car)
It’s a sign of the times that these CD players that were once ubiquitous at thrift stores and junk shops are no longer around

I also have a 5 CD Sony carousel thing in my 600 sq ft house, and it actually works. I also have an LP player and plenty of LP's, but never bother…too much work.
I know my wife really wishes I'd get rid of all of my CD's that clutter up the view in our living room, but i just can't.

My living room, den, master bedroom, and guest bedroom all have 4K UHD Blu-ray players in them.

No cassettes do I use
About seven years ago I watched Hype (movie about Seattle scene) on vhs…that’s been it
I donated hundreds of cassettes and vhs to a thrift store about 18 years ago

The Velvet Underground. Really enjoyed this one.
For some reason I had never watched the Filth and the Fury, and I watched that one as well. Also really good.

Is the new one streaming or do you go to a theatre?

you need Apple+ or go to the theater (showing at SS AFI and the e-street cine)
was unable to get Apple+ working in my set up (just using the Samsung native App), might have to take my kid's Google chromecast

I got rid of all our jewel cases and am storing them in drawers now. I used something like this

I did keep the ones where the packaging was integral to the artwork.

I'm not a big fan of the Velvet Underground, Andy Warhol, or Todd Haynes. But damn, that was really good.
