23rd August, 2018.
Yep: I’ve a day off, today.
And … ?
In amongst the day’s events, I’m thinking I should dig up a movie.
But not sure which movie … although, I do have Fiddler on the Roof sitting around.
Tempting. Long, but tempting: after all, it’s supposed to be one of the movies.
But …
Well, we’ll see …

Which sort of brings me to another subject.
I wouldn’t mind seeing Solo: A Star Wars Story, the Star Wars Anthology film that tells us about Han Solo’s early years.
It’s not due to be released until September, this year.
The on-demand version on the 14th, the blu-ray on the 25th.
Which gets me thinking …
You’ve heard or ripping, haven’t you? The idea you can copy a film or TV show on a DVD or CD, into a form that can be played on a computer: or on a phone, tablet, streaming box, what have you.
There’s also what’s called web ripping, or sometimes VOD ripping.
In other words ripping video from websites like Twitch or YouTube: again, so you can watch the video offline.
Needless to say, it’s rather shady, legally.
Doable, but shady.
I’m looking at the difference in release dates for Solo: A Star Wars Story.
And thinking that gap in dates will encourage some to web rip the video on demand versions.
Two weeks before the blu-ray versions out.
Just a thought …
