Loved LNIS was bored with Antlers.

Guess it's time for me to head off on a Jungle Cruise.

I'll watch Antlers on home media. All my friends that did see the film in theaters hated it.

I'll be taking that Jungle Cruise tonight, but I prefer to pat Emily Blunt. Signed up for that Special Disney+ for $2!

Emily Blunt is adorable.

Loved her from the time I saw Sunshine Cleaning which is highly recommended (by me).

Will have to check that one out.

Have and really liked Blunt in:

The Devil Wears Prada
Looper
Sicario (UHD)
The Wolfman
Young Victoria, The

So Disney+ put the forced subtitles below the frame of the movie on Jungle Cruise.

Guess they knew that serious film lovers would seek out the UHD BD where they actually put them inside the frame.

Thank You Disney you just made another sale. I'm thrilled someone still knows how to do this type of thing. Seems the world is against the users of 2.40:1 screens but as long as they do it right on the disc that's all that matters.

PS- The extras on the Sunshine Cleaning Blu are worth watching too (My opinion only)

Hold up .... Where's the Girl on the Train ?? Or was that shaky cam. I loved the Girl on the Train. ... I understand it makes a good book if it was one of those shaky cam ones. i'll go revisit Sunshine Cleaning and let you know if it's steady cam. Edit - The beginning looks like a hand held camera ... I don't know if the whole movie is like that... I'm not sensitive to it.

Wild Target, and Adjustment Bureau are underrated films of hers.

Girl on the Train was done with handheld cameras, a spot check via YouTube of Sunshine Cleaning shows it was done with handheld cameras so will pass on that one as well.

A set of sticks with a fluid head should be readily available for rent and should not add that much to production cost. Camera movement and/or motion done right does not bother me. One of the best examples is 1917 where there was a long sequence in the first act done with one camera most likely using a Steadicam. Didn't hurt that Roger Deakins was the DP.

bhampton · 11-12-2021, 05:23 PM

Sorry... I'm glad I thought about that as it's an issue.

I'm re-watching and it (Sunshine Cleaning) is an amazing movie based on a true story which is covered in the special feature that features the actual people the movie was based on.

Parts of The Girl on the Train made me think my projector was broken (when the character was fall down drunk) so I can relate a bit.

I thought Girl on a Train was an awful film.

That one was a miss for me also. Maybe because I read the book a couple months before watching it. Far from the worst movie out there though.

That's ok. I loved it but there's no telling what people will enjoy.

I'm pretty easy when it comes to movies. So much so that If I'm hosting a movie I will check RT to find out what general opinion is.

If you looked through my collection there would probably be some titles in there you would not like at all. Most times I am reluctant to recommend a title to anyone, my long standing recommendation, “try before you buy.”

As noted earlier I believe anyone with an immersive audio system and likes Hans Zimmer should give Dune 2021 a spin or a click. No comment on whether it was good or bad. For us it was good and worthy of purchase.

Been listening to the score basically every day and liked it so much I bought the sketchbook CD too. Can't wait for the physical release.

Best Buy post about their reduction of disc display in their stores. IMO, the box stores would prefer you order online. Displays require unboxing, labeling, placing, continuous upkeep because browsers remove disc and do not place them back in their proper place. Then you have the problem of theft. All avoided with online ordering which is filled with robotics.

I do wonder how Best Buy rates so many Exclusive SteelBook editions of BD titles. Does anyone have an inside track on how this comes about?
