Christopher Nolan says buy ‘Oppenheimer’ on Blu-ray "because I get paid more from a Blu-ray sale than a stream view." /cynical
Home Video (VHS, DVD, Blu-ray, 4k)
On Reddit we have r/dvdcollection, r/boutiquebluray, r/4kbluray, r/steelbook, r/vhs, etc but let's start simply with a community to cover all the forms of home video collecting.
So, do you feel nostalgic for a format? Are you looking forward to a release? Heard any exciting news? Want to show us your shelves? Then post away.

Although he likely makes as much or more from a digital purchase.
You reckon? I mean, you might be right but I'd be really surprised if the payout from a streaming service for one person watching Oppenheimer was even close to that from a Blu-Ray sale.
Streaming perhaps, I was talking about digital purchases. Streaming is worth buttons.
Ah, sorry, I misunderstood your point. You might well be right
Christopher "we don't provide mixes for substandard audio setups" Nolan puts a lot of effort into home releases?
If he's having trouble with getting the sound right for the home market, he should find a 'loudness' switch on any stereo system from the '80s. Does the trick.
I think a big part of the issue is that people don't have home stereos like they did in the 80s. It's hard to mix sound so that it sounds good on flatscreen TV speakers and $80 wal-mart sound bars.
I've got a pretty good sound bar with separate subwoofer. It's about as good an audio setup as any non-audiophile is likely to have. And you know what? Blockbuster movies still sound awful on it.
I love Interstellar to bits- it's one of my favourite films, and I've watched it at home several times. But the sound mix on it is just dire; dialogue that you can't hear over background wind-rustling-in-trees sound effects, crescendo music so loud that it wakes the neighbours, scenes which oscillate from whisper-quiet to shake-the-masonry and back again within minutes.
There's no excuse for that; it's just bad mixing.
Already on my Jellyfin server mate.
Any idea when it will be released? It is a wonderful movie, although I seriously doubt my TV will be able to provide the room-shaking experience that we had in the cinema...

Thanks!
If you have a 5.1 system with a subwoofer, it gets pretty close. Unfortunately you cannot really crank it up that if you live in an apartment building.
One of the biggest reasons I'd love to move to a house is so I can upgrade my sound system without disturbing neighbors. If only they were affordable anywhere near my friends and family.
I doubt my speakers have the power needed for that seat-shaking experience I had in the cinema.
Please don't be like Pans' Labyrinth and put the 7.1 audio on the Blu Ray and 4k is stuck with 5.1 track -.-
Christopher Nolan movies always have 5.1 audio, never 7.1.
It's not mastered in 7.1. Both versions seem to be 5.1 only.
