Let's say that I have 20 current releases that I'm hot for and 80
older releases that I've either never seen or would like to see again.
If I miss a current release and get a desired older release in its
stead, how have I lost out? The "current" release is already old, by
cinema standards. And BTW, why would you have any title in your queue
that "you really don't care about." Who would you be trying to
impress with that move?
Are you trying to imply that I/you/any-of-us will NEVER get the
current release? Is it vital to get it on the day it's released? Is
it somehow less of an entertainment, say one or two or more months
after it was released on DVD? I suspect you're thinking that
first-kid-on-the-block is somehow important regarding these things?
If I misinterpreted, please fill me in.
