It’s just the same attitude as pulling down confederate statutes. Right out of 1984; re-write or delete history.

Which is why I cling to my DVDs. I can see the day where because of political pressure or threats of a boycott certain movies and shows like the Chan films will be made unavailable for streaming. Down the memory hole they go, by way of the digital prison.

“Which is why I cling to my DVDs”

Same here. I have a huge DVD collection, and CDs too. I wanted to lend a DVD to my daughter (age 24) but she didn’t even have a DVD player. Stars like Cary Grant, Bing Crosby, Gene Kelly, Lana Turner are unknown to her. She might have heard of Judy Garland and Liz Taylor.

Old movies are a really great way to see how people lived. Movies made in the 40s of the early 20th century (or movies made depicting one generation before) are interesting and accurate because many of people making them actually lived through those times.

People had guns, they smoked cigarettes, men wore suits and women wore dresses.

My DVD collection is ME-TV on steroids.
