Another disc for my collection of your fave and mine Walerian Borowczyk! Is it Arthouse? Is it Nunsploitation? Is it soft porn? A little of all of the above to be honest.

Behind Convent Walls is the first Borowczyk I ever saw, not that I'd have been aware of the director's name back then in the early 80s when some Art School friends and I were drawn into the cinema by the allure of the "Sexy Nun" on the poster (as seen here). We were callow youths and I was not yet the refined, virtuous Cinephile you know today. We knew that these "foreign" films held the promise of mucky stuff and perhaps even the possibility of seeing some naked ladies ("It's called The Tit and the Moon! There's gotta be at least one title in it!") With Behind Convent Walls Mr Borowczyk did not disappoint.

I've rewatched the film a couple of times in recent years via "the internet" and it always seemed oddly edited and the picture quality was disappointing so I'm very intrigued to see how Arrow's transfer looks (2k restoration from the original camera negative), however I won't get a chance to watch it before Sunday, as God intended.

Crunchyroll buying out and shutting down Funimaton, deleting everyone’s purchased copies, and then hiking up their prices by 200% is just another example of why you should buy physical media. If you want to buy things you actually own, don’t look to streaming.

I want owned physical media back, but I'm not sad to see DVDs go – optical media was always a transitional technology, and suffers from a number of intractable drawbacks. I want them to start selling movies on indestructible solid-state cartridges the size of a quarter, so I can keep my entire media collection in an unsorted pile in a random cabinet drawer and have to go rummaging through it like an amateur chef trying to find the lemon zester every single time I want to watch something. Do you understand? I want to lose the entire Star Wars trilogy between my couch cushions.

Buy physical media and pirate everything that was never released on DVD/Blu Ray.

Stop paying for these dog shit streaming services.

Every person [surveyed] said they worry about losing access to films – a not irrational fear. Cillian Murphy just won the Oscar for best actor for Oppenheimer, but the movie that made him a star, 2002’s critically lauded and commercially successful 28 Days Later, is virtually impossible to stream. It’s also out of print on disc, with used copies fetching $60 or $70 on eBay. It’s partly for this reason that the actor Timothy Simons, best known as Jonah on Veep, prefers physical films. There’s a notion that, “you know, ‘Everything’s available on streaming,’” he told me. “Well, it kind of isn’t. And the thing that is available on streaming could just not be tomorrow, if two companies you don’t care about get in a fight about licensing.”

Genuinely: For people who are angry and frustrated at the limited number of movies and shows available for streaming, at the way streaming services pull or cancel movies and shows at will, at the way every media corporation under the sun is pulling their stuff onto their own streaming service and balkanizing access to things behind a dozen different monthly subscriptions? For people who miss Blockbuster and want to be able to just rent a DVD again?

See if your local library has a DVD collection.

If I want to watch The Mummy (1999) with Brendan Fraser? I can't stream it on Netflix, but I can borrow it from my local library.

If I want to watch The Mummy (1932) with Boris Karloff? I can't stream that pretty much anywhere, but I can borrow it from my local library.

I want to watch Star Wars or Iron Man or my favorite Disney movie but I refuse to sell my soul to pay for Disney+? I can borrow these from my local library.

Do I want to finish watching Star Trek: Deep Space 9 or check out Star Trek: Picard but resent that it's all on yet another streaming service I don't want? I can borrow season box sets of DVDs from my local library!

Obviously, available circulating collections vary a lot between library systems. (My hometown's library has all of Star Trek DS9 on DVD, for example, but my college town's library only has TOS, Picard, and Discovery.) And of course it depends on whether things are released in physical media form at all, and you won't be able to keep up with new episodes of new series - it takes a while for many things to come out on DVD.

But there can be a lot of good stuff there too. For example, I missed Nope in theaters, but I still really want to see it. So I have it on hold from my local library. I'm 73rd in line on 50 copies, so it'll be a while.

So check to see what DVD collections your library does have - it might surprise you what you can get access to, for free, in a manner that no greedy corporation can yank away.

And by checking out DVDs, you are telling the library that you use and want them to maintain and grow their AV media collection. Which is an encouragement we could really use these days.

#I'm actually sorta shocked that Picard and Disco and even Lower Decks are being released on DVD #this might actually get me to finally watch Lower Decks #... if I can get access to a DVD player #Which is like. the other problem #I don't have one in my grad school apartment #libraries #physical media #streaming #support your local library

Just as a reminder, I did up all the new posters in the simplified B&W style, and I'm using them for cheaper "budget option" posters in folded-once 11x17 and 8.5x11. They're lower cost and cheaper to ship, so it's a good option if you like the designs but can't afford the bigger stuff. They also ship well with the stickers and art cards. You can find the listing at this link below!
