There's nothing to hate. I'm glad talent is making a comeback. One reason why I loved/still love the 1990's! :-X :-X
I hope pop culture can get back to it's pre-1999 self, but with a modern feel to it, of course.

The rating for that film is now at 76%, but the rating on it's original release was higher at 81%, that is on good film see, it has Oscar potential.
M. Night Shyamalan's new movie Split has an 81% on Rotten Tomatoes

Oh yeah that movie was hyped. Hmm, its score seems to have dropped off the map though ;D
I forgot to add Hidden Figures, which has 92% on RT. Talent! This movie looks interesting, I'll have to watch it.

If DVDs are really gonna die out this year, then how come I'm still seeing ads that feature the latest movies coming out on either Blu-Ray, digital, or DVD? I could get that it's not as strong during the 2000s, but you still have to wonder about that.

It's only March. We're jumping the gun a little (a lot, actually). Some of those movies are from 2016 btw.
I hope real talent covers the market soon.

But look at how much quality has come out in just two months! And the last week of 2016 is kind of 2017ish culturally. :-X :-X

DVDs are getting old alright, but I don't see them dying until the 2020s where a new kind of tangible media will replace it.

I don't know if a new physical media might replace DVDs, since we already have digital streaming as the mainstream for people. Unless it came from a USB drive or something.

The game that came out yesterday!
It was a lame joke... My friend said "Hey do you wanna see a talent show at 6:30?" and I replied "Is the new Zelda gonna be there?" :-X Talent!
