Since I never watched I was shocked again how bad it was. That was NOT unexpected. I just keep forgetting that. I stumbled upon &#8220;Blue Valentine&#8221;. I liked it a lot. And interesting movie to watch from the middle. I liked it quiet a bit and wanted to watch it completely. I ordered the BluRay Version.<\/p>\n<p>I liked the entire movie as well. Nice to see that this kind of project gets made.<\/p>\n<p>What really bothered me was the previews and trailers that want to play every time I insert the disc. I can fwd skip through things. But it is annoying.  Very.<\/p>\n<p>People do no longer buy media on discs anymore. As a reaction it seems that people try to sell things even harder. An junk-loop-spiral towards doom. Much like the Hotel phone prices jumping up when cell phones took away the call volume. A failed attempt to keep revenues steady in a shrinking market.<\/p>\n<p>The good one<\/p>\n<p>I wondered if it is possible to get a report from Amazon on past purchases. Sure enough it is. It works well. And it is so helpful. I never choose Amazon because of this. I had no idea I existed. I would use them if they had no reports.<\/p>\n<p>Both &#8211; the disc makers and Amazon &#8211; deliver the core product that they offer.<\/p>\n<p>The difference is in what they do extra: Amazon tries to think about what could be helpful for me. The disc makers try to think what is helpful for them.<\/p>\n<p>How funny that they think that that will work. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recently I noticed two interactions I had with products \/ companies \/ services.
