Thankfully I held onto my 28 Days/Weeks Later boxed set

asherwolf.bsky.social•73 days ago

“As of this writing, copies of 28 Days Later are available on eBay with bids starting around $50, while some merchants have marked the film up to as much as $300. Prices are steeper for the Blu-Ray, but some copies can be found starting at $46, though we expect prices to continue to climb”

Glad I picked up the BR double pack when I did

This prequel to the movie is available to rent on Prime though!

kels316.bsky.social•73 days ago

surely this can be torrented from any number of places?

asherwolf.bsky.social•73 days ago

I know nothing of that, arrrrrrr matey

kels316.bsky.social•73 days ago

great flick though. I saw it at a late night screening with like 3 people in the theatre, had to walk out to my car alone in an empty carpark at like midnight. Scared the shit out of me.

ozpol-critic.bsky.social•73 days ago

Arrrrr...we don't talk about fight club...arrrrr ;)

crimsonfinch.bsky.social•73 days ago

Watched my DVD copy on the weekend with a friend who somehow hadn't seen it! Had no idea re the scarcity.

xhumed.bsky.social•73 days ago

I still have my DVD copy (not in it's case, it's in one of those big cd/DVD wallets). I didn't realise it was so hard to watch now, it's one of the best horror films, I still listen to some of the soundtrack to this day.

megwall.bsky.social•73 days ago

Have you had a look on dailymotion?

shadylink.lol•73 days ago

I love how we need articles describing how and where to watch movies like we're assembling some sort of Exodia. All because these platforms and services are so disconnected and convoluted I need to scry 20 to find anything.

notoriouscbg.bsky.social•73 days ago

It is available at the library. There are 4 copies currently available in my mid-sized library system.

colonialgirl.bsky.social•73 days ago

I think I've got that on a hard drive.

krabappel.bsky.social•73 days ago

Definitely the most Nietzschian horror film I'd ever seen. It was hard enough to get a copy 20 years ago.

Great film.

colonialgirl.bsky.social•73 days ago

Oh yeah, I loved it.

r0b3rt726.bsky.social•73 days ago

Yikes 😳 I didn’t know that. That movie rocks!

johnalees.bsky.social•73 days ago

Off to go check YIFY

mrsschnitzel.bsky.social•73 days ago

Legal ways 🤔

djorankeil.bsky.social•72 days ago

Psst, psst... over here...

...I know a guy...

thatoldbear.bsky.social•73 days ago

that's a massive indictment of the entertainment industry. That's absurd!

lukeysixx.bsky.social•72 days ago

Oh I didn't realize this? I have this on DVD and on Google play digital🤷‍♂️

petabytes.bsky.social•73 days ago

I didn't know it was a rarity. I should treat my copy with more care.

lhjh.bsky.social•73 days ago

I'm sure I streamed it last year

gwyntaglaw.bsky.social•73 days ago

I’ve got it available to stream on Apple but I suspects only because I bought it when it was still available there - if I search for it it by name doesn’t come up, but it’s in my library:

mrrobm.bsky.social•73 days ago

Yeah this is major problem with streaming platforms. Digital content should not have a shelf live.

warrenmoney.bsky.social•73 days ago

I saw someone selling a DVD copy on eBay for $400. A DVD!!! I have a Bluray to sell for a $1000 if anyone’s interested. Lol

jennykaynz.bsky.social•73 days ago

I gave away some out of release videos yesterday. Not that title but other hard to find ones. Why? They're on VHS and my player no longer works. Someone else may as well benefit from them. Only one I was tempted to keep was an early Cillian Murphy film, "Disco Pigs"

fabricatus.com•73 days ago

Boy this is a torrent of information coming at me all at once. A torrent!

warrenmoney.bsky.social•73 days ago

Nothing like peer support to seed your ideas

myfreecats.com•73 days ago

If someone is over the whole copyright system, then I'm sure there's a bay with pirates that probably has it. Yaaar

starshine.bsky.social•73 days ago

can just stream it here if you don’t want to torrent it

warrenmoney.bsky.social•73 days ago

Of course but I’m a weirdo I suppose. I like to own a physical copy of films that I love or have meaning to me.

I totally get that you can sail the seven seas to see it. I’m guessing there will be a trilogy 4K box set out for Christmas next year

myfreecats.com•73 days ago

That's totally fine.

But for all their claims of lost revenue, they sure make it hard to buy stuff. Hence my tendancy to still use the 5 finger digital discount

warrenmoney.bsky.social•73 days ago

Fair enough

paperghost.bsky.social•73 days ago

*sweating* I have a plastic bag which looks a bit like the one in the shot above. ten grand for anyone who fancies a bit of apocalypse cosplay

warrenmoney.bsky.social•73 days ago

I’m underselling it!!

warrenmoney.bsky.social•73 days ago

Bwahahhaha

anwyn.bsky.social•73 days ago

....$400 you say? *eyes DVD shelf*

warrenmoney.bsky.social•73 days ago

IKR!!!

anwyn.bsky.social•73 days ago

That's fucking WILD. The studios don't even make anything off such blatant price gouging, why not just let us give them money?

warrenmoney.bsky.social•73 days ago

Exactly

Argghhh…was just trying to find this on streaming over the weekend to no avail. Frustrating !

flyingfool.bsky.social•73 days ago

Got the boxed set 28Days/Weeks but they are in storage. I had no problem finding copies online. Yaaargh!

childlessgambino.bsky.social•73 days ago

I wish I could loan everyone my copy

asherwolf.bsky.social•73 days ago

childlessgambino.bsky.social•73 days ago

alas I am too stupid for this 🦜

electricrabbit.bsky.social•73 days ago

Arrrrr, 'tis notorious hard to be findin' that movie it is.

(Reckon this is one of the problems with the demise of the video library, which always was a treasure trove of old movies)

weatherboard.bsky.social•73 days ago

Ditto Cabaret, Withnail and I, A Room With a View and Silkwood.

Managed to find the first three on YouTube where they come and go and you have to be lucky with timing, but my daughter didn’t believe Cher and Meryl Streep were in a movie together so I *need* to show her Silkwood.

hock17.bsky.social•73 days ago

Here it sits.

glenn-andrews.bsky.social•73 days ago

Shouldn't worry too much, in the UK I expect it'll be on Film 4 (along with 28 weeks later) in the run up to the cinema release of the latest installment.

ivalaine.bsky.social•72 days ago

Terrible science though… didnt stop hubby buying it… and this is why we are back to buying physical movie and tv shows

seamusbyrne.me•73 days ago

Nothing like a rights mess to make piracy the most efficient route to access. If marketing talked to distribution you’d think Sony might have lined up the “long awaited” release to coincide with the 28 Years Later trailer drop.
