As I became more and more embroiled in David Leitch's Bullet Train, an interesting blend of thriller and comedy aboard a Japanese bullet train, not unlike those we find domestically here via Amtrak, my mind kept to going to an odd place, and I had to visit the dark web this morning in an attempt to put the pieces together.
Attaining access isn't the easiest thing in the world, but once I did, the facts came to the fore. I found a group call QAnon, ,which I presume to be a home theater group. Their discussions seemingly having hidden meanings in reviews of QLED flat panels, although it's all a bit strange, and I don't quite understand the subterfuge.
In any case, Bullet Train, an extremely fast-paced program, with enough facts and herrings of different colors to make The Big Sleep seems easy to understand, actually brings all of those bits and pieces together in the end. It has great entertainment value.
What I found on line was a discussion of that seems to point to the fact that Bullet Train may not be a film by David Leitch, and that Mr. Leitch may in fact be a pseudonym used by one Mr. Tarantino. The two styles are incredibly similar - down to the titles and identifications.
One writer came up with the concept that while Mr. Tarantino has made note of his intent to retire, his love of film is so great that he re-invented himself under the name of Leitch. The other interesting fact that came to light on the QAnon site is that Mr. Leitch was never seen on set, but rather was always either in a trailer or working remotely. This isn't anything new, just interesting, and leads to more questions.
There was also a discussion that I found that brings to light the fact that Mr. Leitch was Mr. Pitt's stunt double.
But that lends an air of incredulity to the concept that Mr. Leitch may actually be Mr. Tarantino, as Mr. Leitch is 5' 11", same as Mr. Pitt, and both are on the lanky side. Mr. Tarantino is 6' 1", and appears to carry a tad more weight.
Not certain what this says about those who pray at the shrine of QLEDs.
Bottom line, whoever directed - and I'll make note that Mr. Leitch is responsible for both Deadpool 2, as well as Atomic Blonde, one of my favorite films of 2017, Bullet Train is a great deal of reasonably mindless fun. And of course, Sandra Bullock steals the show with her incredible stunt work - all I've read, performed without a double. Had the role gone to Lady Gaga as originally planned, this would have been an entirely different film.
A great looking and sounding 4k release.

Plays nicely with projectors - Yes
