We all do what we can with the budgets we have. I paid the $19.99 for the premium rental when it was in theaters so Universal got my $$ early on.
It’s more of a function of not buying a film I’m not planning on watching again soon more than pinching every penny. In order to keep my collection...
I was really tempted to get this but I’m gonna wait - I suspect it’ll hit $9.99 at some point over the next year and I don’t think I’d be watching it again before then anyhow.
I don’t see how this missed a best picture nomination in any year. It’s beautifully directed and photographed, perfectly cast, well written, and brings a vitality and honesty to a genre that modern day audiences have all but forgotten.
