I paid for it, that makes it mine. Doesn’t it? No – and it never did

Re: re: streaming services and content

And only on the umpteenth attempt do you get to have a file that is

- not from a DV camcorder (as if. Portrait mode smartphone, then cropped to roughly the landscape size the movie would have been in) sneaked into the cinema and having half the hairdo of the person in front obscuring the lower left of the view. Plus the sound of them eating pop corn.

- not having "Property of the Weinstink Company" all over the image

- not having Punjabi, Thai or Urdu subtitles hardcoded (of course it'd be Viet or something if you can actually read Punjabi, or every other such mutually incompatible combo).

- a regional cut that has had some locally-offensive scenes excised, dubbed in that local language and with no fitting subtitle file for that cut to be found.
