Nolan Urges To Buy Oppenheimer Blu-ray So "No Evil Streaming Service Can Steal It"

[ChristmasFnatic]

Christopher Nolan, outspoken proponent to theatrical experiences second only to Nicole Kidman, has emphasized the significance of owning a physical copy of his latest film, Oppenheimer. According to Variety, at a Los Angeles screening the director criticized streaming services and urged moviegoers to invest in the Blu-ray version, highlighting the meticulous effort put into preserving the film's soundscape.

"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," Nolan said. "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."

Nolan's comments likely reflect concerns about the unpredictability of streaming services, and the now frequent and recent trend of media being pulled from streaming platforms on a whim.

Do you agree or are you in the camp that says streaming is better/convenient and physical media is dying/useless now.

[darkninja67]

Hard copies usually give you the best sound/video but the convenience of streaming services may trump that if it hasn't already.

[batmanman]

Agreed

There's a lot of movies I've paid like $15 for on amazon prime video that they've removed, then reuploaded again so I would have to buy it again.

[MyGhettoFantasy]

Had no idea blu-ray was still a thing. I thought it went the way of the CD.

Also fuk that.

[ChristmasFnatic]

Agreed

What? No "restore purchases" option?

[AlwaysFocus]

The world was a better place with video stores srs

[ReppinHoes69]

Jokes on him


I already downloaded the 4k rip with Dolby sound and watched it on my 65 inch oled


Fell asleep halfway through

[GatorBoy92]

LMAO, wut?


Do they refund you?

[NESBrah]

Platforms don't refund you when you lose a movie/show you paid extra for due to them removing it from the platform altogether. That's half of their business model.

Can't believe people give money to these types of companies lmao. Fuk that chit.

this is good to know actually, wont spend another dime on prime, streaming everything from now on

[propreffered7]

its not even about convenience with the streaming services

you know what would happen if physical form went away. they could upcharge the fuk out of it with no alternative. they can start selling it to you in other ways, force you to do this, force you to do that. what are you going to do?

of course, you can just not imbibe, but if you want to you'll have to play by their rules

oh yea, and when you pay for netflix for instance, you're buying a license to use their platform. and same thing with amazon. you don't actually own it. so if you bought a movie digitally on amazon, and your account gets suspended for whatever reason, you no longer have access. because you never owned it in the first place

[BigElephant]

I mean if you really like a movie and are concerned about it eventually leaving a streaming platform, just buy the digital version of the movie outright, download it, and keep it on your HD. Neither my current PC nor my previous one even have a disk drive of any kind. I have one DVD/Blue Ray player left but haven't used it in years.

I still buy digital copies of movies I really like. If they were to upcharge individual digital copies of things, I would sail the high seas.

I already do that anyway for things I'm just casually interested in, or if things are on just too many platforms. Like if I wanted access to all South Park content I'd have to subscribe to 3 different streaming services, which is ridiculous.

I already ordered the Blu ray disc version

Certain directors /actors just always warrant a purchase of the Blu ray. One, so I can support good art, two, so I can get the best quality audio and video. There are some people in Hollywood still making good films and are passionate about how they are to be viewed as well, and I respect that.



I buy some movies on vudu/apple/Amazon. I've never had an issue with them removing any content I've purchased.

[Rylol]

I do buy all my digitals from Amazon, but it's annoying that due to licensing issues there are tons of films that you simply can't buy locally (example Michael Mann's Manhunter). Makes me just want to go down the bluray route tbh. They are also crafty fukers pulling all of the Bond films off in a few days so that they can repackage them on Mgm+ which they own. This way they can collect an extra £5ish on top.

[Omnivium]

If I'm gonna pay for something, it would be a physical or downloadable copy so I actually own it. But you can just watch it without paying for it hehe

[J3remy]

Looks like a boring movie, why should i even bother with the 80GB HDR 10bit 4k DTS-HD rip on piratebay let alone buy it?

[jimbob007]

Did neither & just downloaded it for free.

[shmobin]

Sorry Nolun. Already streamed it.

[infinityplus1]

Do they even sell blu ray players anymore?

[baldbrah]

Just get the remux and store it on your private media server.

[SaltyDog920]

Fuark bros, is it time to go back to BluRays?

when you buy a movie on amazon prime or apple tv, do they let you download offline copy to play anywhere?

Just checked and apparently you can't on Amazon any more. Guess I'm sailing the seas for everything from now on.

Bruh we are talking about Oppenheimer here. Barbie was more of a work of art than that pretentious putrid pile of elephant chit.

I only know how to make my own remixes off of physical media i.e., blu ray disc

[jimbob007]

Fuark bros, is it time to go back to BluRays?

Why do they make so much noise compared to DVD?

[Swept]

I tried, made it an hour the movie bore me to tears.

This guy gets it. Even the best quality streaming sites, which are Apple TV+, Disney+, and Max can’t touch a physical blu-ray.
