You may laugh, but after BluRay comes ultraviolet-ray, and after that...
I'm not sure a thin layer of aluminium is actually reflective to X-rays,
much less gamma rays...

Who needs physical media when you can stream HD over the airwaves (and
slowly cook the populace at the same time... but that's besides the point)?

Anyone who wants to be able to watch the same film again without having
to pay multiple times?

Anyone who wants to be able to watch the same film again without getting
to see only the current latest director edition ?
(enhanced/edited/modified for whatever reason... or rebooted)
The old "Rollerball" has some reflections on society that's no more in
latest one (hey, but the color on the newest are better... )
Battlestar Galactica... the two series are totally different, and I
prefer the old one.
Crooks in Clover (Monsieur Gangster / Les tontons flingueurs) is a B&W
film... it has been colourized... :-(
Batman... oh my...
Let's not talk about George. No, we don't.
There is plenty of reasons to not trust any external guardian of movies
or sounds. Look at Doctor Who, some episodes were lost.

Who said anything about having to pay for it more than once?
You download the movie to your HD, and then you broadcast it to your
TV/tablet/phone/GoogleGlasses/Neural implant from your wifi.

That's why I cherish my '94 edition of the Star Wars trilogy on VHS.

Why transmit it to a TV when I have my PC right here?
Also, you need some way to *get* the movie onto your PC in the first
place. I'm not aware of any service that lets you legally download
content like that. (Not without keeping it locked behind a DRM system
which can automatically delete it for you when they want more money,
anyway...)

Because your PC probably doesn't have a 8' wide projection screen.
Because you probably don't carry your PC with you to the pool.

I haven't looked at the EULA of iTunes or GooglePlay stores, but you can
certainly buy movies from them. They may still have the ability to
remove them, but you can at least watch them for a while.
