Tom Hanks disappointed with Apple TV+ 'Greyhound' release | AppleInsider

The release of the Tom Hanks movie "Greyhound" on Apple TV instead of cinemas is an "absolute heartbreak" to the film star, an interview reveals, with Hanks also using the opportunity to poke fun at Apple's PR policies during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Originally intended for a theatrical release, Greyhound is instead being offered through the Apple-owned streaming service, due to COVID-19 social distancing measures closing theaters around the world. The move to the small screen for a production meant for theaters has led to disappointment for Hanks who refers to the change in plans as "an absolute heartbreak" in an interview with the Guardian.

"I don't mean to make angry my Apple overlords, but there is a difference in picture and sound quality," offers Hanks.

Apple reportedly picked up the movie from Sony Pictures for around $70 million in an auction handled by CAA Media Finance and FilmNation.

So Disney is pushing back a bunch of stuff, but still has the next Pixar film Soul slated for November? Hmm. I wonder if they just end up dropping it on Disney+. It was supposed to come out this summer originally. I guess it depends on how much they stand behind it. I assume they pulled Mulan completely because they think it's going to be such a huge money-maker.

Watched Knives Out for the first time last night. Every good movie with lots of plot twists. Everytime I thought I figured out there was a new twist. This movie is truly as if someone turned the board game Clue into a movie.

Knives out is free for Prime Members to stream. It is $7.99 to buy on any Movies Anywhere Platform in 4k UHD right now. iTunes, Amazon, Vudu, Microsoft, Google Play and so on.

So we did watch that last night for a family movie night. Lots of fun! Rian Johnson did a good job playing around with the tropes of the genre and subverting them. Great visuals as always.
 
Was waffling on putting this in the Problematic thread (maybe we can just continue conversation there edit: it's continuing over there) but thought it was relevant to our conversation a week or two ago:

Shane Carruth tweeted this picture of the UC soundtrack a few weeks ago:



Recently, some more eagleeyed viewers noticed that in the lower right-hand corner is a restraining order from Amy Seimetz. The assumption is that, since Seimetz has a movie coming out, he's trying to rattle her, or drum up press to force her to have to address it in interviews. Which is incredibly odious, but also in line with having a restraining order.

This is very disappointing.

I have no idea what’s going on and maybe the there is more info available regarding the situation that I am not privy to but this seems super speculative and presumptuous if people are only working off a small bit of a document that can be seen in this photo and drawing the conclusions you listed. I have no idea what is going on but I would not want to speculate without a lot more information especially when people are questioning his character.

So I’ve added 14 Criterion movies to my collection this sale and my budget currently allows for 4-5 more. I can’t make up my mind on what to buy. I’ll take any and all suggestions.

current collection is:

The 400 Blows
Band of Outsiders
Brazil
Certified Copy
Close-up
Come and See
M
The Night of the Hunter
Notorious
Portrait of a Lady on Fire
Stalker
Tree of Life
The Wages of Fear
Wild Strawberries


I’m very light on Asian cinema. So that is something I’m wanting to target (Seven Samurai is basically sold out everywhere). I was thinking Ikiru and In the Mood for Love as 2 choices. I also considered Woman in the Dunes, House, Tokyo Story, and Brighter Summer Day. But some other favorites like Paris, Texas and Days of Heaven and Breathless are calling my name.

I also want to stay away from Bergman, Varda, Cassavetes, and del Toro because I plan on buying those amazing box sets one day.

There’s a Wong Kar Wai box set coming at some point, too.

I’d recommend Kurosawa’s High and Low, it’s a masterpiece.

Linklater’s Before... trilogy?

The Qatsi Trilogy?

I thought about the Before Trilogy because I adore it, just haven’t jumped because I own them all on standard dvd. Though I eventually want that great looking box. High and Low was also one I considered.

We discussed some criterion samurai movies a while back that I still need to check out. Of what I have seen, I really loved Hara-kiri when I saw it years ago and would recommend it. I haven't seen the Criterion version though. You can't really go wrong with other Kurosawa either. Rashomon and Yojimbo are excellent. I really need to see some others, I don't think I ever saw Ikiru.
