I'm about start buying all these blu-rays and DVDs because I'm tired of paying all this money. Plus I can keep these movies and shows forever. Even get buried with them

Streaming is too convenient for its own good, except for all the ways in which it has become inconvenient. I have no idea where to find the stuff I want to watch, and when I do find it, I don't pay any attention to it because it's too easy to whack it on my second screen and just play Balatro instead. I watched seven episodes of The X Files last night and I can describe plot points from maybe 3 of them.
I have decided to fix this because I miss actually having Opinions about things, doing close readings, and, most importantly - appreciating the fashion statements of my favourite characters. I made a list of shows I would really like to watch - or rewatch - and I've committed to collecting them all on either DVD or BluRay. When I want to watch something, I will put a DVD on with my Playstation 2, put my phone and laptop away, and just WATCH IT, no distractions. Maybe a notebook if I want to get Analytical about it.
The first of the DVDs arrived today because I good deal on it, so today feels properly like the first step of this journey to take back my attention span. I am reinventing movie night for myself!!!!

Over the last few years, I’ve started to purchase DVDs at the thrift store whenever I find a favorite or one I’ve been meaning to watch. They’re always super duper cheap (I’m talking a buck a pop) and it’s easy to check they’re in good condition.
Now I can always have my fave movies and shows on deck because eff’ these greeding streaming services 🖕🏽

Why stream movies online when you can spend even more money and take up even more space with an exhaustive collection of blu-rays, dvds, and for the truly committed, reels of 16mm film. Trust me fellas, nothing gets a lady randier than when she sees you have the vast majority of the Criterion Collection arranged against your bedroom wall. Ideally physical media should be paid for with your parents money, but if you are a so-called "self sufficient adult" it's also acceptable to purchase these movies with your own hard-earned cash. And if anyone is to question your propensity for accumulating the aforementioned objects in question, just remind them of how the bit-rate and sound compression is vastly superior then what you get through streaming. When in doubt, always remember the bit-rate!
