  • do people just say dvd to mean any physical disc? i get it if so, just have never personally heard it

    blu rays still come out with some good extras, commentaries, making ofs, interviews and stuff but i guess it’s more niche releases. often with books, posters, art cards as well. in the uk i have some nice ones from:

    arrow, 88 films, 101 films, eureka, second sight, bfi, shameless films

The Lee Marvin/Clint Eastwood musical Paint Your Wagon, originally released in 1969, contains frequent references to sex and has been reclassified from a PG to a 12. The 1986 stalker thriller The Hitcher, featuring Rutger Hauer, has, like A Nightmare on Elm Street, been downgraded from an 18 to a 15

    all of this sounds fine to me
