On Reddit we have r/dvdcollection, r/boutiquebluray, r/4kbluray, r/steelbook, r/vhs, etc but let's start simply with a community to cover all the forms of home video collecting.

So, do you feel nostalgic for a format? Are you looking forward to a release? Heard any exciting news? Want to show us your shelves? Then post away.

Disney/Searchlight Still Hasn’t Released ‘Barbarian’ on Physical Media, and Maybe Never Will (www.worldofreel.com)

This is very concerning given that horror movie fans are major advocates for physical media. They are collectors. They go out of their way to own their most treasured movies. That’s why there’s a slew of horror underground labels that exist.

Disney has been steadily pushing physical media out of the way for a few years now, but this is certainly the biggest step they've made so far. It’s quite clear that Disney is pushing for a) audiences to go digital and/or b) subscription boosts to Disney Plus.

Its been nine months since the theatrical release of “Barbarian” and still not a word about a blu-ray disc release. Hey, don’t get me wrong, I’m in no rush to get my physical copy of “Barbarian,” but have we finally reached the point where we need to accept the fact that we might not be getting all the movies we want on physical media?

I did find another custom Malignant slipcover on eBay but it is a bit too much (as is the steelbook design), while the Blu-ray and 4k covers are very elegant designs.

Oh, and I also found the custom 4k Star Wars Blu-ray slipcovers and inlays that I mentioned above. It's that kind of fan-made, not-for-profit efforts that I'd like to encourage here. Perhaps, one day, when Lemmy gets a wiki it'd be easy enough to create a page for them. The Blu-ray.com forum has a vast custom cover thread.
