Sign up!

I bought the other one.

I want a white box

shame about that steelbook but the rest looks nice.

Confirmed 

I haven't seen this movie but the art looks fun!

Saw this years ago and revisited last night. It's a slow burn but really picks up and is enjoyable!

Why not just redo the GB and let people pick the one they like. Idk?

If it was an option, I'd switch to the new one

^^ Same thoughts. I really like this box. I'd even buy it alone.

But who will rush out a premium? 

Going to prefer FS or SL. Who knows if I will ever watch this.

The European Steelbook is much better. But I will probably get it anyway 

 

 

 

Looks nice. Wonder if this will ship by the summer.

 Ah, well now that's a whole different ball game. A must own edition for sure ... 🙄

 

The TITANS OF CULT™ Batman Set will include a #Batarang Pin!

Like the slips, down for a 1-click. However, annoyed by the addition of the quarter slip. I guess I can replace it with my Best Buy copy.

You fellows are making me want to watch this all the more...

I thought I owned this, however I’ve not had it in my database 🧐 ... I think I’m on the hunt in my home again (sometimes this takes several minutes to an hour or more 

Spoiler

 

) ...

 

now where is that disc, do I own this or not 

 

 

That happened with a steelbook I purchased. I know I bought it, even dug up the receipt but can't find it anywhere. Ended up buying a duplicate.

I liked it a lot. I think it was one of the best 2016 movies; and seeing the mediocrity of some award-winning films that year, I think "Nocturnal Animals" was ignored in the nominations for the usual awards because some kind of prejudice against its director; after all, he's a designer and not a director, is someone outside the bussiness.

 

But in my opinion he did a great job. The movie is a gem.

 

It's true that it places a special emphasis on the visual consideration of the film, but it is still a great story and a great narrative.
In fact, the first scene, with the family traveling at night by car on a lonely road, shows a totally unexpected talent in a director with so little experience: that scene is tense, it's intense, it twists your stomach; and although it already we've seen other times in other movies, it's shot in a way that you can't look away.

 

The most important thing was to find in the dark and in such a palpable way, as well as poetic, a reality so common and acceptable in many cases. Because anyone has been able to meet a Tony Hastings / Edward Sheffield in different places, with different names, or other faces. Both men and women. It's not about identification, but about silently contemplating a reality - and a feeling - authentic, and common, expressed with a subtle elegance and a certain cinematographic expertise when filming.

 

By the way, the music of Abel Korzeniowski in the film is brilliant.  A little wonder.

 

Hopefully someday someone will dare to make a Collector's Edition.

Overall, it's a good movie but I think with Ford you're not getting anything earth shattering. Now to think about it, you reminded me of one of my thoughts about the movie. He crafts a number of visual scenes but gives them no space to breathe. For example, showing your character taking a shower or bath overcome by emotion is no new occurrence in cinema yet we get this three times at least. At the same time, these scenes have no standing room in the pacing of the movie. The plot weighs heavy on them because we have more story to tell. The audience is waiting for the next piece of the puzzle and the character has another scene to deliver. I think it was difficult to balance a study of the characters with moving back and forth between different stories and timelines. However, I still enjoyed the movie. It was just quite ambitious for Ford. With that said, it's surprising that he hasn't overseen his own premium release for both his films. If not him, it would be nice to see Criterion, Plain Archive, etc. tackle the project.

I'm backtracking but I think a lot of the car scene rested on the performances of Johnson and Gyllenhaal, especially Gyllenhaal. You could feel the heavy weight of his manhood being challenged and his desire to take action but ultimately feeling helpless. And then you have his daughter who is not helping the situation. Out of context, the daughter is a funny representation of youth today. She will not shut up and her parents continue to apologize for her, she's just a child, she's just a child.

Paid invoice

Finally saw Nocturnal Animals. One of the first movies to make me think if only a different director had it throughout its duration. I feel like Ford prioritized style over the story.
