Christian SeligThe real issue the EU needs to tackle is the awkward period when a movie is neither in theaters, nor available to rent/buy. Looking at you, Boy and the Heron
corvax@christianselig I'm pretty sure that's more of a Japan thing than anything else. They wait a really long time before releasing home copies, especially internationally
G R E G@corvax @christianselig see also: Godzilla Minus One
Heals 
@corvax @christianselig yeah the EU tried really hard but Japan was just too far away and not part of Europe ^^'
maxwty@christianselig it’s actually back in theaters in North America this week for a post-Oscar re-release. https://gkids.com/films/the-boy-and-the-heron/
@maxwty Only at select theaters unfortunately, closest one here is like 12 hours away
@christianselig I guess a single viewing isn’t worth a Vision Pro-esque journey? 🤣
@maxwty Hahah I wish!

@NeoNacho Yeah, but the closest theater playing it here is 12 hours away :(
Miguel de Icaza ᯅ🍉@christianselig @NeoNacho perfect time to visit Boston
Ainiriand@christianselig in Spain that's a solved issue as the right for private copies exists. It is designed that way to make culture access more important than culture profit.
Michael Knepprath@christianselig Godzilla Minus One, too! I want to rewatch both asap
Karl@christianselig To add on, it was announced this week it’s streaming on Max in the US and on Netflix Worldwide… sometime this year. I mean, at least give us a better range!

David Somers@christianselig It’s not just movies. I would dearly like to watch TV from other countries, but impossible to easily stream or subscribe out of country.
