That was more due to poor organization on my part, than any boredom with the movie itself. This article is a good reminder that I need to finish it! (starting again at the beginning, I guess)<br /><br />This movie came out during a very brief period when my parents, who never normally go to the movies, and rarely watch them at home either, had made acquaintances with an "high art loving" neighbor who took them to see it. Totally not their style, but I remember them liking and talking about it. That might have just been to impress the neighbor, I don't really remember. The other movie they went to see was The Red Violin. That might have been the only 2! As I said, it was a brief period.<br /><br />Thanks for the good read Adam!Paul Calverthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11748440093206090195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-53302796016647283232020-01-14T15:44:19.077-06:002020-01-14T15:44:19.077-06:00This is such a fun article!

Looking forward to more, as always. <br /><br />The Crouching Tiger DVD was the one where I first discovered the "DVD double dip" phenomenon, where one DVD had way more bonus features than the other, right next to each on the store shelves. And, yes, I still have that DVD.

I hated that lengthy flashback in the middle when her character was kidnapped and raped (but not really, because Jiao Long wanted it to happen... the fuck!?!?!) by that warrior dude. Talk about a momentum-killing, character-advancing side plot. :-(<br /><br />As much as I can take or leave Ang Lee as a director, gotta appreciate the man still embracing and pushing high frame rate technology on some of his current work. It made "Gemini Man" a lot more entertaining than it had any right to be, but it was wasted on "Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk." Even Peter Jackson abandoned HFR, and he invented/pushed it for his "Hobbit" trilogy. J.M. Vargashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18293452334926334389noreply@blogger.com
