I know this person and, honestly, it's a thing of majesty. These discs have presence, heft, and are valuable. They're collectors items on some level - every last one of them. So what if we're watching "Jaws" or "Aliens" for the 400th time. We're having a real, visceral experience here.

I'm exaggerating here, I only have about 200 laserdiscs. That's just a portion of my physical media collection. But I do really enjoy them. My toddler calls them "big movies" and we've watched Bambi I don't know how many times. And hell yeah, Jaws and Aliens! I have the Criterion release of Silence of the Lambs, and that has also gotten a lot of play time.
