I had a reminder of that yesterday actually. I have a chunk of movies
ripped from DVDs and Blu-Rays on a portable SSD, and others are
purchased from the Microsoft Store. If I show a movie to a class from
the former and a few students were absent, I can upload the movie to
Teams and they can catch up at their leisure. With the latter, they're
completely fucked. I am actually mad that I allowed myself to believe
that it made sense to buy DRM-enabled movies.

DRM is necessary so the production companies can recoup the $24M ($12M
each) paid to Ryan Gosling and Margot Robbie for a few months work on
Barbie, which, apart from the Ahlstrom-like whining about "the
patriarchy", was a good time.

I wouldn't know, I don't watch recent movies that much. I like to buy
movies I liked back in the day on DVD though. I just got Old School and
The Bourne Supremacy.

 
I didn't like the one Bourne movie I partially watched. That "shaky-camera"
crap gets on my nerves. (I think it was a Bourne movie with the
"shaky-camera" disease — if not, my apologies.)
 
I've been watching the Jesse Stone movies. More my speed these days.

Well, I was a fan of the Bourne Identity, the Bourne Supremacy and the
Bourne Ultimatum. I even bought Jason Bourne on the Windows movie store
but have yet to watch it. I just like the action. The worst shake-camera
movies I've seen were Transformers and Man of Steel. There, the camera
shakes so much that you have no way of knowing what the heck is going
on. I loved Henry Cavill as Superman but I hated the movie he was in
because of that.

Maybe I just saw the part of the Bourne movie (whichever one it was) where
they were doing the camera shaking. Wherever I see it, I don't like it.
