Christopher Nolan took a playful swipe at streaming while introducing a Los Angeles screening of “Oppenheimer” that was devoted to spotlighting the film’s craft. Crew members reunited for the event Monday evening, billed as “The Story of Our Time: The Making of ‘Oppenheimer.'” The director said a lot of time and energy has gone into assembling the “Oppenheimer” Blu-ray so that it preserves the film’s soundscape, which is one reason moviegoers should buy a physical copy as opposed to waiting for the movie to stream.
“Obviously ‘Oppenheimer’ has been quite a ride for us and now it is time for me to release a home version of the film. I’ve been working very hard on it for months,” Nolan said. “I’m known for my love of theatrical and put my whole life into that, but, the truth is, the way the film goes out at home is equally important.”
“‘The Dark Knight’ was one of the first films where we formatted it specially for Blu-ray release because it was a new form at the time,” he continued. “And in the case of ‘Oppenheimer,’ we put a lot of care and attention into the Blu-ray version… and trying to translate the photography and the sound, putting that into the digital realm with a version you can buy and own at home and put on a shelf so no evil streaming service can come steal it from you.”

Will do! I’m so happy he’s coming out and saying this, because it’s become ridiculous that you never know where the movie you want to watch is. There’s zero guarantee anymore that the thing you love will still be there.
I buy them myself now, and will own them forever. (Plus the quality of a 4k disc is just so much better)
The quality of a regular bluray is much better than streaming for the most part! Bitstarved content sucks and I really hope discs don’t die out.
We’ve gotten to a place where people are paying for the chance that the thing they want is still on the service when they want it. Literally paying to throw the dice.
Let’s just apply fucking loot box mechanics to everything in our lives.
That’s why I download all my movies and tv shows. My personal server never removes movies and always streams to my devices without restriction.
It’s all just bits. It doesn’t matter if they’re stored on a BluRay or on a hard drive. There’s nothing stopping you from ripping your BluRays and dumping the bookshelf of media onto one disk.
didn’t say I don’t do that
The only moral screaming service is tubi because they don’t charge
