I was gonna say that I don't think they're gonna stop putting media players in PlayStations and XBoxes, but you may have covered that here.

I too enjoy having physical media. A few CDs. I prefer buying physical video games. Lots of shows and movies on disc. Etc.

You know, I'm not so sure that we won't see that development come along soon. The push definitely seems to be towards streaming programs like X-Box Gold/Plus/Live/Whatever it's called, Playstation Plus etc, and the idea of streaming titles from a library as opposed to buying physical discs. i think we could see it in the next generation of games. I know for a long time that there was interest or even rumors in a Steam Box, or a console that would only stream stuff from Steam. Makes sense. I'll be sad, but not surprised, if this comes along pretty soon.

I have been helping a buddy sell his CD collection lately, and I find that I am pulling aside a ton of stuff for myself, because so much of it is so cool! I collect vinyl too, but there are some great CD sets out there, with great packaging, etc that are worthless, and it's a shame because the content is so great! I have a whole slew of CD Boxed Sets now, and they look great on the shelf and sound great in the car, and a lot of the stuff isn't available on Prime, etc. 

Of course, it's probably no surprise that folks like us, who are on a comic book message board, would enjoy owning physical media. It's all part of the charm of "stuff"!

I have a feeling that guy has actually attended a few REAL pitch meetings.

That's more or less how envision the real pitch meeting went.  

I look at it this way -- I already know I'd end up in full agreement with the 10 minutes of mockery I've just watched, so I don't see a whole lot of need to subject myself to the full fiasco and sacrifice some free time that I'll never get back.

Let's be honest. You were already there when Fox announced 'We have a new X-men film...'

Not true, I got there when Fox announced 'We have a new X-men film and it's going to be Dark Phoenix again.'

I still can't understand how I've seen two film adaptations of Dark Phoenix in my lifetime, and yet I've still never actually seen one at all. What a strange future it turned out to be.

Well, you actually would have seen a Dark Phoenix comic book adaptation. But then a sponsoring transition Disney EVP got concerned how 'X-Men' was outdated and Skrulls were future-claimed.

That all depends -- 105 minute comic book adaptation, or three movie arc?  I think we can all safely say that all things Phoenix mashed up into one movie is not a recipe for success.

Don't do it!The shipping is ghastly to Canada!

On the topic of your friends CD's-have you looked at discogs?I was SHOCKED at what some undergroundish and even mainstream CD's will fetch,especially with black metal.Tapes weren't such a big surprise,but just looking to replace some well loved scratched stuff like Mayhem and Darkthrone made me sick I wasn't more careful.

(see,I kept sort of on topic Dark Phoenix ,Darkthrone 😐)

Can we all? Can we? You are you speaking to the royal 'WE' as you look around with the crown on your head? 

Your dislike for the film has been steady for a long while. It's an approach.

Like I said, you have been consistent. Consistently negative. 

Even with Matthew Vaughn, his concept of getting to Dark Phoenix was one additional film to gel the audience with all of the characters before a massive shift occurred. Not two extra films.

But Hollywood is calling for you.

If it means you have to own a copy of Dark Phoenix, it may be worth it! You've been warned!

As far as CD's, yeah, that's the reason why I told my friend I'd sell his collection for him, rather than let him take everything down to Half Price Books, where he'd get 5 cents a pop for his cd's. There are still some things that sell for crazy money. His collection is that of a rock and roll curator, so, you know, full collections of Dylan, Bowie, Beatles, Beach Boys, with all of their various pressings and rereleases and live boots and all of that stuff; but he also has a good collection of exotica, 60's girl groups, etc that sell pretty well. Definitely better than a nickel each. It's definitely worth looking through those old cd collections before you send them to the Goodwill. Heck, just last week I went to a garage sale and picked up a few discs for 25 cents each, including several bizarre Australian imports and stuff which should sell for an easy $10-$15. 

Media! It's good for ya!

All the comic books they reference for each superhero -script. They take these very serious.
