It’s just consumer writeable. Blu-ray movies will be fine, and other companies will be manufacturing consumer writeable Blu-rays as well.

Backing up personal data, mostly stuff from my childhood that is irreplacable. Sure, I could just put them on a HDD, but then I’d have to replace it every 5-10 years. Data stored on Blu-ray can last a long time.

Don’t fret, Verbatim will still be making recordable BD-Rs. However, this will mean that there will be no more 128GB BD-Rs, we’ll be stuck with only 100GB BD-Rs (Sony is the only company that makes 128GB Blu-rays).

I recently ordered a pack of 128GBs from Japan. I’d recommend you do the same, because the prices are gonna skyrocket.

Warner Bros. already sold the distribution rights to GFM Animation. They couldn’t cancel the movie even if they wanted to.

I think some of my favorite scenes were with the Mega Minions.

When they’re out on the night watch, they screw up everything horribly. I enjoyed the reference to Spider-Man 2 with Mega Tim. But my favorite part of that whole sequence was when an old lady yelled, “I’m tired of super heroes!”, which is a reference to superhero fatigue.

All in all, it was just what I expected from a Despicable Me movie. I knew exactly what I was going into, I had fun, and I had a lot of laughs.

Spoilers:

That ending sequence with all the villains from the previous movies brought a big smile to my face, too!

Illumination stated that DM4 would be the final Despicable Me film, but I’ve got a strong feeling that we haven’t seen the last of Gru and his minion crew.

I really wanted to like Madame Web. I avoided seeing reviews and scores for the movie, and then I saw it in the theater. After watching it, I thought it was just okay, I expected it to get a 40-50% Rotten Tomatoes rating. I was shocked to see that it was at 17%.

It don’t take money, don’t take fame, don’t need no credit card to ride this train.
