Musing Monday:

Here’s something to muse on Monday. What was the first commercial film release on DVD?

But wait! There’s more.

Ever wonder what DVD stands for?

Initially, it stood for “Digital Video Disc.” Makes sense, right? Yet others in the then burgeoning industry felt that “Digital Versatile Disc” made more sense as the media was not just limited to video. To date, a formal decision on that little sticking point has never been reached. The media is simply called DVD and the letters stand for absolutely nothing.

Okay, so what was the first commercial film release on DVD? Here’s a hint. “Auntie Em, Auntie Em…”

Wrong!

Ready Player One Challenge: San Diego Comic-Con 2018 - Second Union

Is Physical Media Dead?
Not if even VHS is still viable! See why.......

For Comic-Con, Tobin Productions unearthed the old VHS decks, DA’s, switchers, monitors and cables and reconstructed a full-fledged VHS duplication system to assist Warner Home Video in the production of a collector’s only edition of Steven Spielberg’s Ready Player One. The tapes – complete with cardboard VHS packaging featuring that well-worn look that adorned home display cases, as tapes aged yet continued to play – were exclusively available at Comic Con San Diego. https://lnkd.in/ewe8RSV

Following the success of the Ready Player One rollout, lightning struck again in 2019 when Tobin Productions answered an inquiry from A24 films to recapture the magic and provide the same retro treatment on Climax, a horror film with a distinct and devout cult following from director Gaspar Noé. https://lnkd.in/e6SQbEG

Is there still a need for physical media or has it simply become a luxury impulse item on its way to oblivion? Stay tuned!
