Not sure if this is related, but when I first visited London, I was astounded how literally EVERYONE on the Tube would be reading a physical newspaper during the morning commute. This was in 2007 when it was accepted wisdom that print was "dying" in the U.S., yet it seemed to be completely the opposite in the UK. I heard many reasons for this and that basically there's a different business model for how newspapers are run in the UK, but I do wonder if it's a cultural difference. You do hear that explanation about Japan where music streaming hasn't taken off to the same level because listeners still prefer to have a physical copy of the music they like.

Hard to see anyone reading a paper or book these days.

No Dolby Vision or HDR on this one?

Considering it’s 4K SDR I’m wondering whether or not I should cancel the preorder at some point, since the Blu-ray in the Essential Fellini set is already excellent and sourced from the same master. Or maybe a Euro UHD will get announced from someone at some point between now and December.

Although I must say these reissues of films with already solid blu rays are starting to get a tad decadent.
