9/14 - Orca: The Killer Whale, I Married a Monster from Outer Space, Bug, Body Parts, Friday the 13th: From Crystal Lake to Manhattan - The Ultimate Edition DVD Collection (the first 8 movies on 5 discs)

I don't understand when people say "I HATE TWO SIDED DISKS ITS SO ANNOYING TO HAVE TO FLIP THEM OVER" in the case where the alternative is taking the disk out, putting it away, then putting in a new disk. That makes absolutely no sense to me.

And besides, I never said ANYTHING about them being 2-sided. If you paid closer attention to my anology (the quality of a 3 hour movie vs. a 90 minute movie), you'd understand this. Do they routinely split 3 hour movies into 2 and put each half on each side? no, they don't. Maybe they did when DVDs were new (the first DVD of The Color Purple comes to mind), but they don't do it now. So I don't know how you could have gotten the impression that I meant to imply that they'd be double-sided disks.

They put 4 episodes of the sopranos on one (side of a) disk, and they still look fantastic. 2 episodes of the sopranos = (in length) 1 Friday the 13th movie.
