Physical media? That’s this forums breath of life.

Music certainly isn't the breath of life for some of those numbskulls. Fondling a record cover or CD booklet means more to them.

There are pockets of the internet just as fucked as Hoofy's. Over at blu-ray.com, the incels who inhabit the forum are more hung up on packaging than picture quality.

The non-forum side of the place doesn't fare much better, especially in recent years. They have for instance one particular writer who shits on any restoration that was done in Europe, even when it's reused by Criterion, almost entirely because of his politics (grew up in Eastern Europe, hates communism). This is also the guy who stated that the latest reissue of Roy Orbison: Black & White Night was sourced from the same master as the 2008 edition, while it was actually a completely different cut, as they had reedited the the original film elements for that show. Six years later, it's still not fixed. Place of film lovers indeed.

In typical fashion there, that's been pointed out numerous times but bozos still just jump to the end of the thread posting away like, "I hope they have enough money for the suit." or whatever.

I wish I could get back on there. People give me their old collections and I bet I could make a killing selling them beat up Rockets and J. Geils albums for $20 each.
