Hypothetical: Digital Media Preservation Act.

If the owner of a streaming platform decides to remove their original shows or movies (like WB did to HBO or Paramount+ just did), they are required to be "purchased" by the DMPA division at a set price per episode and freely available to the public.

Streaming platforms would be forced to actually decide if any given series is costing them more than the cost of giving it up to DMP. Rather than locking it away and "freezing" it.

What are some possible drawbacks or benefits for this idea?

I've been searching around for a couple of days to see if anyone noticed this. In Halo S02E07 around the 38 minute mark, Talia Perez is staring at her reflection just before Master Chief walks in to talk to her. Over the loud speaker, you can hear someone say "Tango-Hotel-Xray-one-one-three-eight". (headphones helps) That's a classic reference to George Lucas' early film THX-1138. Used heavily throughout the Star Wars universe and many other films.

Can you imagine the hype? Yes it's a fake tho 😭

> Hi there, > > I recently saw the movie: Black Swan. Good picture, good acting! One thing that stood out to me though was the fact that this movie is kinda dreary. I don't think I have ever seen the sun shine in that movie. Everybody seems to hate one another and there is just an overall really negative vibe going on. > > It suited the movie perfectly.

I haven’t owned physical media in quite some time. I am maybe getting back into it as well as setting up a media server.

I was just curious if most releases these days still contain commentary tracks from the directors/cast? If so, are there media server options to play these(this might be a question for a different community - so feel free to ignore this one if you don’t know or if it’s too off topic)

Holy shit that was crazy, so many references to evangelion, and a ending to match it too, might not be the cup of tea for everyone but I loved that finale mindfuck.

Curious how there was such an hype for season 1 and this one at least for me flew over the radar.

Finally finished the first two games from the recent trilogy and boy howdy is it an experience.

Thought that a movie was impossible, then remembered that there was a movie starring Alicia Vikander...

Went back to check and HOLY FUCK did the movie parallel the games so well.

It's obviously not a great way to do it... But TR is just not as grounded as we'd like to think.

The Last of Us worked since it has more grounded aspects... But when the climax of your game is Lara battling fucking undead Samurai, you have yourself a pickle.

However, a higher budget and a franchise guarantee would've made this an AWESOME experience... Imagine the bow and arrow scene from the movie, but with an older and more experienced Lara... Stealth shooting like in the games 😭❤️.

Reddit has a sort of love/hate relationship with Oak Island. Going into 11 seasons of interesting archaelogical evidence but no real treasure frustrates a lot of people.

https://www.history.com/shows/the-curse-of-oak-island

For those unfamiliar with the story...

"There is an island, in the North Atlantic..."

In 1795, three young men were attracted by strange lights to the elephant-shaped "Oak Island" off the coast of Nova Scotia.

They found an old block and tackle hanging from a tree branch over a depression in the ground, and, eyes full of dollar signs, began digging for treasure in what is commonly called "The Money Pit".

As they dug down, they would find a floor made from oak logs sealed with clay every 10 feet.

90 feet down, they found a 2 foot wide flat stone with strange inscriptions on it.

Eventually the tunnel flooded with water and the excavation stopped.

What has happened since is 200 years of digging, tunnelling and excavations, all hoping for a massive payday.

Nothing substantive has been found, but lots of ephemera interesting for archaeology has been.

And that's where we are today... two brothers who read the story of Oak Island back in the 1960s have been trying for 10+ seasons of television to get to the bottom of Oak Island.

It's from 2011. Got it from a thrift store in the Delaware Valley. It was in the Christmas section. Normally I collect VHS tapes, but I decided to get this one for the fun of it.

> will have to wait until November 2024 to reunite with Vi, Jinx, and the rest of the show's eclectic cast of characters

a must see movie if you have followed the GameStop short squeeze in 2021!

Holy crap that ending was marvelous! Anyone feeling the same?

Martin Scorsese has released his newest flim starring Robert De Niro, Leonardo Di Caprio and Lily Gladstone. If you have watched it you may discuss it here.

Saw Haunting In Venice last weekend and liked it despite its flaws. Now we’re some people who want to watch or rewatch a bunch of murder mysteries. We already did the Branagh Poirot trilogy, done Knives Out and Glass Onion, and of course ultimate classics like Clue and Seven are on the list.

What are your favorites? Your hidden gems we should watch?

Compared to many bigots, I don't think the issue is some "woke/liberal agenda" being pushed and gone wrong, just shit writing and general over-the topness that is so very far away from season 1.
