Koray Savas 2,251 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 11 hours ago, Disco Stu said: I sort of enjoyed Foxcatcher. The three central performances were all great, but the movie is quite slow/oddly paced. And Steve Carell's nose prosthetic is distracting and unnecessary. It's not like John DuPont is this super well-known public figure where we'd all be taken out of the movie if Carell's nose wasn't big enough. I thought it was a well made thriller with a delightfully disturbing performance in Carrell and subsequent climax. Also really enjoyed Rob Simonsen's score. Haven't seen it since theaters though so not sure how it'll hold up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 Well, I was at Fry's picking up a $10 memory card for my camera to take pictures of The Haunted Mansion at Disneyland when I happened upon the Steven Spielberg Director's Collection for $50. I couldn't resist since I need Jaws, Always and The Lost World. I think it payed for itself. Plus, I get all these bonus films I'll probably never watch but would still rather watch than Bridge of Spies or The BFG. I'm so happy I finally have legitimate copies of Always, Jaws and The Lost World again (those last two were stolen by thieves who also made off with my E.T. night light and Star Trek figures) to watch whenever I desire on my Sony Trinitron. The few pages in the booklet about Always were incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The release appears to have been sourced from the same master that Criterion worked with when they prepared their release of Solaris for the U.S. market. The only minor discrepancy is in the brightness levels -- the film looks slightly brighter here, likely because the gamma levels are set differently, but the actual discrepancy is in fact extremely small.- Blu-ray.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would easily pay more for a Criterion release even when another one uses the same transfer. Probably because of the snob value of having the word CRITERION on the case.
