    The Green Knight (2021)

    I ordered them from Zavvi, but I'm in Canada so my vendor list is shorter than in many other countries (at least for reasonable shipping).

    And to show that I'm a man of my word, I've ordered both versions of the upcoming steelbook, to add alongside my non-steelbook 4k copy:

    The Green Knight (2021)

    There is a single monolithic version of a film--or at least as close as we can get. It's the one released in theatres. That may represent compromise by some (or many) creatives, but when you are dealing with that many artists compromise is the best you can hope for. For changing aspect ratios...

    The Green Knight (2021)

    Not really. I go to a movie in a theatre. Unless it's been Alan Smithee'd I must conclude that the theatrical exhibition is as close to the artistic intent of all involved. There are exceptions for directors and writers, but that beyond the scope of this comment. I'm talking about DPs and how...

    The Green Knight (2021)

    I'm not sure why so many forum members consider it a positive that Dolby Vision or HDR effectively "remedies" an intended dark image. If a scene was dark in the theatre, it shouldn't be more visible at home. If it is, that is likely not reproducing the creative intent (which is a tent pole of...

    The Green Knight (2021)

    The poster art for this movie is (from what I've seen) uniformly excellent. I have full faith that A24 will put out an awesome 4k physical release, but I'm hoping they or someone else has a great steelcase or fabric box (like the Midsommer director's cut box). This is one of those rare movies...

    The Green Knight (2021)

    I watched The Green Knight tonight. I thought it was excellent. A great re-telling of the story with some interesting twists (not plot twists--I mean twists on the lore). I liked how the movie sort of "inverted" the character as seen in most versions of the character. Instead of a young paragon...

    The Green Knight (2021)

    We have tickets for The Green Knight this Saturday. Looking forward to it! We were first to buy for our showing, but I'm happy to report the show is actually getting close to selling out Friday and Saturday here (at least to the reduced pandemic seating levels).

    The Green Knight (2021)

    We intend on seeing both in the theatre this weekend. Tickets are up for Thursday ("midnight show" which is actually at like 7:00 pm, so why even both pretending and just open it on Thursday) only in my city. As soon as Friday or Saturday tickets are up we'll snag them (probably Jungle Cruise on...
