That's great for Netflix if you want to get a subscription to watch those movies, but not so great if you wanted special features or the ability to watch these movies on your TV without an Internet connection. If it does land on physical media, that would be great, but all you have to do is glance over to Netflix to note that their movies like Okja, Death Note, and War Machine have no physical releases planned. No, Wonderstruck didn’t blow up at the box office, but its chances of being seen are now further diminished because it has fewer avenues available. Want to loan it to a friend? Give them your Amazon password, I suppose. That means if you wanted to buy it and watch it (without being at the mercy of an internet connection), you’re out of luck. Flavorwire editor Jason Bailey did get a response that a physical release would be on the way at some point, but for the foreseeable future, the only way to watch Todd Haynes’ film will be online (and hey, wouldn’t you know it, Amazon has a streaming service). Indiewire’s David Ehrlich tweeted that Amazon’s Wonderstruck won’t be receiving a physical release of any kind. They don’t! (I had to order a region-free DVD of 1972’s Sleuth) My larger point is a matter of who controls the movies you watch, and a group of consumers that’s not being served.

They do! Nor is that to say that DVD and Blu-ray offer every single movie ever.
That’s not to say that streaming services or online rentals don’t offer plenty of movies. Perhaps, but I would counter that in this scenario, your viewing desires are at the mercy of the streaming services, not at what you’ve chosen to buy or not buy. Most of the time, you can find what you need. Even the option of going to a Best Buy or Barnes & Noble was out because, again, if it’s not a new title, they probably don’t carry it. There was no point going to Redbox because it wasn’t a new movie, and we conveniently killed Blockbuster Video thinking we would never need it again. Air Force One, which is by no means an obscure movie, was not streaming. Okay, well maybe we can rent it on Vudu? Not listed. The age of DVDs was a bit of a renaissance for film fans since A) we finally got our movies in the correct aspect ratio as opposed to the days of pan-and-scan on VHS B) there could be a wealth of special features that sometimes functioned like film school in a box and C) there was an easy way to share movies I loved with friends.īut surely, Air Force One, the fifth-highest grossing film of 1997, would be available on a streaming service. And yet I don’t regret collecting these DVDs because it gave me a valuable resource and a way to dive into movies. I started collecting DVDs in my senior year of high school, and continued to collect them throughout college, which, in retrospect, was not the smartest idea since at the end of every school year I would have to pack up boxes and boxes of DVDs to either send home or store with family who lived near campus. Please note that titles like Wonderstruck, The Handmaiden, and Lady Macbeth are now on Blu-ray, but the larger point remains that studios dragged their feet on giving these indie titles a release on physical media. Note: This Collider original feature was initially published on a prior date, but we're re-posting due to changes in the streaming landscape.
