I watched my Fellowship and Two Towers extended DVDs today.

The best thing about these DVDS is that they were so common that they're really easy to replace.

I swear I've had like 4 copies of Fellowship over the past decade and a half. I got the Blurays as well, but having all of those hours of special features and extra scenes just hits different.

Honestly, I think that's the main argument for a DVD over a Blu-ray. Most Blu-rays don't actually seem to contain anything interesting or fun in the menus. You get a BTS featurette if you're lucky, but on DVD you'd get games, extras, bloopers, the list goes on.

I think it's sort of comparable to early games vs modern games. Yeah, now games are super slick and polished (most of the time), but they don't have the kooky and weird extras like they used to (cheat codes, unlockable extra characters in-game, etc).

I guess as things get more professional, they get less fun.

I got a huge collection of old spanish movies (en plan Antonio Molina, Alfredo Landa, Lola Flores, etc...) from my grandpa that came in with each issue of the newspaper he bought like 20 years ago. So someday I'll get around watching them, I'm so glad to have kept them before any other member of my family could had the opportunity to throw them away lmao, but I wish I could've watched them with my grandpa...
