Okay, let's talk about something important. Something that keeps me up at night. It's the bizarre, frustrating, and honestly kind of offensive absence of *Better Off Dead* on every major streaming service.
Seriously, Where Is It?
I mean, come on! We can watch reality shows about competitive dog grooming. We've got documentaries about the mating rituals of obscure beetles. But no Lane Meyer trying to win back Beth? Unacceptable.
Is it a rights issue? Some forgotten contract detail buried deep in a studio vault? Maybe John Cusack himself is holding it hostage. I wouldn’t blame him.
My Unpopular Opinion
Here’s the thing: *Better Off Dead* is a cinematic masterpiece. Yes, I said it. Fight me. It’s got everything! A suicidal paperboy. Singing hamburger. French foreign exchange student.
And let’s not forget THAT ski chase. You know, the one with the power ballad. Pure gold. Why are we being denied this joy?
Think about it. We live in a golden age of content. We're drowning in options. Yet, the algorithms consistently fail us. They prioritize quantity over quality. They offer us the same tired rom-coms and predictable action flicks.
The Streaming Black Hole
Better Off Dead deserves better. It deserves to be rediscovered by a new generation. A generation that needs to know the true meaning of “I want my two dollars!”
It’s like it’s been deliberately erased from streaming history. Banished to the realm of dusty VHS tapes and bootleg DVDs. This is a travesty!
I've checked every streaming service imaginable. Netflix? Nope. Hulu? Nada. Amazon Prime? Not even a rental option. It's a conspiracy, I tell you!
The Conspiracy Theories
Okay, maybe “conspiracy” is a strong word. But it certainly feels like someone's deliberately hiding it. Is it the ski resort industry? Are they afraid of the K-12 suddenly becoming the must-have ride?
Maybe the French are behind it. Are they embarrassed by Monique's questionable English? Possibly. But still doesn't justify keeping it from us.
Or maybe, just maybe, the studios are scared. Scared that *Better Off Dead's* quirky brilliance will expose the shallowness of modern comedy. It is a real possibility.
A Call to Action!
I propose a boycott! (Of something... I haven't figured out the specifics yet.) We must demand *Better Off Dead* on demand!
We must write letters! Start petitions! Hire skywriters! We need to make our voices heard! The world needs Ricky Smith's determination.
This isn't just about a movie. It's about preserving a piece of our cultural heritage. It’s about ensuring that future generations understand the importance of a good ski chase and a singing hamburger.
Join the Movement!
Let’s flood social media with requests. Use the hashtag #BetterOffDeadOnDemand! Let’s make it trend. Let's make them listen!
Let's prove that there’s still an audience for this movie. An audience that appreciates its unique brand of offbeat humor and its undeniable charm.
Because honestly, is that so much to ask? I just want to watch *Better Off Dead* in glorious HD. Is that too much to ask of the streaming gods?
I think not. So, join me, friends! Let’s bring Lane Meyer back to the people. It's time for a streaming revolution. For *Better Off Dead*!
