Our Digital Future

I keep starting posts about our trip to England and they keep going nowhere, so I think I'll prime the pump with the kind of lightweight, off the cuff observations y'all have come to expect from the Baxblog.


A while back Bobo linked a trailer, the new flick from the guy behind The Host. We're on a bit of a Korean cinema kick at the homestead so it went on the watch list.

The other day I'm browsing Roku...and there it is! Streaming, on Netflix, for free (or rather $8.99 a month, which given our rate of consumption qualifies for that old Nuclear Power canard "too cheap to meter")!

I add it to the queue, chortling at my good fortune.

This morning as I'm opening up I notice the record shop has a copy of the DVD fronted in their window for $24.99.

Free, or $24.99...the conundrum of our digital age.

Remember how we were gonna pay less for music once cd's came down in price when they had more manufacturing in place.

Well, they were half right. I pay much less for music now.

Movie industy, welcome to the party.
