Been curious about this. Might blind buy it.

I love JGL, but I'm not sure this was necessary after the excellent documentary.

geekesmind · 11-02-2016, 07:54 AM

debating to pre order from amazon or would a steelbook be in the cards at bestbuy or some place else?

tehthomas · 11-02-2016, 01:02 PM

That's a nice slip.

This was a pretty good film btw -- despite some of its shortcomings, mostly related to Stone's ambitious eye.

imsounoriginal · 11-02-2016, 01:05 PM

Yeah I've heard surprisingly good things about this movie, which I didn't think I'd like. Will give it a try when it drops in price or shows up on HBO.

No Stone commentary? WOW! I'll wait until it's on sale (9.99 and under) before I'll consider buying it.

Yeah, he usually does (a very good) one. Perhaps the only director I'm aware of who does research for a commentary and walks into the session with notes.

Phillip Noyce usually does the same on his commentaries, you can sometimes hear him consulting his notes, even shuffling the papers.

I agree though, nobody else seems to prepare for them that thoroughly.

The listing of this in iTunes says it includes an exclusive director's commentary.

If accurate, this is annoying and counterintuitive IMO.

The folks arguably more interested in hearing what Oliver/a filmmaker has to say likely have greater overlap with packaged media buyers than those acquiring the film via iTunes.

Oliver is fairly engaged with his audience/fans via Facebook. I will ask about whether this is something done at his request (which I doubt) or over his objection.

It was an pretty good flick but i might just wait for the price to drop and not run out first release day for it most likely.

Rick Grimes · 12-19-2016, 08:28 PM

Will blind buy. Big fan of Stone's work. I am sure this biopic will be as entertaining and intriguing as most of his other films.

Has iTunes had exclusive bonus content before?

Yes. The first that immediately comes to mind is exclusive enhanced commentary tracks for Star Trek Into Darkness and Star Trek Beyond. I'm sure they've had exclusive bonus content with several other films as well.

Eye in the Sky and Don't Think Twice just recently advertised ITunes exclusive commentary tracks. All three are films Universal is distributing at home but didn't handle theatrically, so they may have struck a deal with Apple on some of their smaller titles (and unlike Star Trek are likely too small to ever get re-released with added extras, though at least the titles should have ITunes redemption codes).

FilmBufffff · 12-22-2016, 05:45 PM

A true return to form for Oliver Stone in my opinion. This was the only movie this year besides Hacksaw Ridge to move me to tears at the end. It's just a very well-done and respectful take on a man who's still going through it. It's probably one of the most realistic and un-flashy biopics I've ever seen. It really makes you question the difference between a traitor and a patriot and how we've lost our privacy rights and are perfectly okay with it. Definitely in my top ten films of 2016.

Also love this song that plays at the end, Peter Gabriel the man!

Dammit, I never even looked into digital exclusive bonus features. Thanks for letting me know, even if it did annoy me.
