Without Leo, Killers of the Flower Moon wouldn't have made over $30m, let alone over $60m. He's the last movie star.

Tom Cruise is a far bigger movie star and still current.

Also, the notion or insinuation that attractiveness is intrinsically tied to vain behavior or "sleeziness" is completely ignoring common sense. Nobody dates a person they find to be ugly. What's with the recent trend that individuals can't have standards? If so, are we gonna finally start stigmatizing women for basing a man's quality on his salary and not his character? Didn't think so....

Some subsequent comments and dubious pictures choices lead to my comment.

In light of the history that some members seem to inevitably get carried away with such subject matter and takes things off into tangents that many would find rude and uncivil.

For you to be so defensive with such a gentle suggestion indicates insecurity and a lack of civility.

How likely are you or anyone on this forum are going to be dating any celebrity?
Probability is low, not necessarily zero but extremely unlikely.

So what benefit is there to proffer your evaluations of the attractiveness of women you will never date?

Then you veer off into more unrelated topics to this Movie/PQ/AQ discussion thread.

Neither this thread nor this forum is the optimal platform to remotely attempt to engage in any good faith nuanced discussions of the intersection of socioeconomic, gender, and cultural norms that often perpetuate certain dynamics that are corrosive for all parties.

Alas, too many refuse to be more self-reflective and strive for changes that would improve the societies they happen to be in.

We are not supposed to be engaging in Red Pill strawmen culture war grievance nonsense anyways.

Careful, that may trigger some peeps.

At least she wouldn't get arrested these days...

Unboxing of the Collector's Edition. Not a fan. Too big for too little. The only thing I like are the physical reproduction goodies. They're fun. But they'd be better off on one of those UCE Warner-Universal types. It's just too big for not much.

Is it me or the menus are the exact same menus as the 2012 Fox/Paramount Blu-ray? Have we confirmed what extras are missing?

The US release has all the supplements from the 2012 release plus new material for 2023. Nothing is missing.

Tom Cruise's successes have been sequels.

No it doesn't.

From The Digital Bits (again) :

As noted earlier, not everything produced previously is included here. Missing are twenty-six of the previous Blu-ray’s Behind-the-Scenes featurettes totaling about 29 minutes, among them: Southhampton Flop, View from the Pub VFX, Leaving Port VFX, The Engine Room, The Million Dollar Shot, Big Ship Set VFX, The Grand Staircase, Costume Design, Iceberg / Deck VFX, First Class Lounge Miniature, Crane as Helicopter, Flooded First Class Dining Room, The Sinking Riser, Ship Extensions, Grand Staircase Flooding, Miniature Hall Flooding, Jumping Stunts, The Tilting Poop Deck Set, Deck Sliders, Digital Stunt People, Ship Split Miniature, The Toilet Paper Shot, Final Plunge VFX, Underwater Greenscreen, Interior Tank Shot, Breath Shots, and The Final Shot. Here’s what’s clever though: The best of this material is highlighted in Jon Landau’s Behind-the-Scenes Presentation, so you still get to see it, and now with much more context. Also technically missing is the original Construction Time-lapse with Optional Commentary by Ed Marsh (SD – 4:30) from the 2005 DVD, but most of that footage too is now included in the Behind-the-Scenes Presentation.

The new Blu-ray also doesn’t include all of the separate trailers and TV spots (from the previous Blu-ray and 2005 DVD), including: Teaser Trailer: Concept Artwork (SD – 1:50), Theatrical Trailer 2 (HD – 4:15), Theatrical Trailer 3 (HD – 2:32), International Trailer (HD – 1:06), 2012 Release Trailer (HD – 2:11), 2012 Release Trailer 3D (HD – in 3D – 2:09), and TV Spots (SD – 7 spots – 3:26 in all). However, once again the best of this content remains in Jon Landau’s new Trailer Presentation video. So this is another clever way to save a little bit of disc space while retaining at least highlights from the missing content.

Genuinely missing from the previous Blu-ray is Titanic: The Final Word with James Cameron (HD – 96:16). And missing from the 2005 DVD are Titanic Parodies (SD – 3 segments – 10:16 in all), Fox Special: Breaking New Ground (SD – 42:46), Press Kit Featurettes (SD – 7 featurettes – 18:32 in all), 1912 New Reel with Optional Commentary by Ed Marsh (SD – 2:23), Titanic Ship’s Tour with Optional Commentary by Anders Falk (SD – 7:40), and the Interactive Viewing Mode (which allowed you to watch the Behind-the-Scenes Featurettes in context within the film). The International 2005 DVD release also included the HBO First Look – Titanic: The Heart of the Ocean (SD – 27:33) special, which the US release did not. The bottom line is that if you want to retain all of that original content, you’ll definitely want to keep your previous Blu-ray and DVD editions.

Lack of civility? In what regard? Did I type anything in all caps? Did I curse or make epithets in your direction? Defensive? Maybe slightly, it was knee-jerk response to your insinuation. You're gaslighting me.

So what benefit is there to proffer your evaluations of the attractiveness of women you will never date?

I didn't know wishful thinking was frowned upon.

Then you veer off into more unrelated topics to this Movie/PQ/AQ discussion thread.

Which everyone was already aware of and cheekily participated in. Note my "levity" comment. Clearly, my intention flew over your head... Are you by any chance the one who manages to always get left out of party invitations?

Alas, too many refuse to be more self-reflective and strive for changes that would improve the societies they happen to be in.

Oh goodie, a social reformist. Alas it's 2023 and human nature is still human nature.

You might find this hard to believe but I wasn't making this about culture or a "Red Pill" comment. "Rating" women or a group of guys doing so has been around long, long before modern Internet "Red Pill" movement for that insight to have any credibility.

Random question: do any of you guys have a preference between the look of a movie shot on film and the look of a movie shot digitally? If yes, which one do you prefer?

To be clear, I'm not talking about DNR. I'm not talking about trying to make a movie shot on film look as if it was digitally shot, which creates lots of issues. I'm talking about natively digital films.

I don't have a preference. The way I view things like that is how Steven Spielberg incorporates filters or an "effect" in some of his movies like Saving Private Ryan and Munich where it's colors are muted and less vibrant. And it works, and I love it. I think artistic liberties and creativity is more important.

Personally, I wasn't aware digitally-shot movies had a distinct difference to warrant a preference. I love both digital movies (Apocalypto, District 9) and film movies (Jaws, Predator).

So I’m guessing this is like the Aliens and Titanic Blu rays where some noise reduction was applied but they still looked really good overall

I hate getting into this topic, but are you suggesting that nobody can comment on how attractive they find a celebrity because they won't ever date them? That's a goofy way to look at it.

Not everything.
The HBO "Heart Of The Ocean" special that was released with the UK 4-disc Collector's Edition set is still missing

That means eventually there'll be A Collector's Edition with all the extras, like Avatar.. right?

I hate the fact that it's missing a load of extras, it's not just two or three. Eugh. I was excited for getting this, though. Guess I'll wait.

If you have the 2012 Blu-Ray hang on to it for the missing extras not on the 4K. That's what I'm doing.

I don't. But I did plan to own the 3D Blu ray at some point if I manage to find it for cheap because collector reasons, so.. in the meantime while the Collector's... that is if it ever happens because this one already has Dolby Vision.
