I have no idea what you guys had against Sicario. Found to be good, last half hour fantastic. In overall good little piece about demons and monsters and the endless cycle and justification they have going after another. Del Torro's unraveling was worth it alone to see.

Yes way. Although it looks more like a 480 than a true 720. Which is still pretty fucking good. Bear in mind I watch it in a big ass TV so the lesser pixels the lesser quality it shows.
It has to be an upscaled version of the screener then. I can't think of any explanation to why there should be a 720p stream available.

This is the screener's quality:


Does it look similar?

It has to be an upscaled modified version then. And yes, it does look similar. Still amazing, the !movie had been out for what? A week?

The Revenant was fantastic as expect. Amazing picture, acting, plot, scenery, pace, you name it. The Martian was mediocre compared to it.

I can't quite put my finger on it but I think it's filled with symbolism, like the fast moving cloud, the falling star/meteor, the teared down church in the middle of nowhere... I'm sure someone will come up with theories if they haven't already.

Caught Spotlight. What a great film. Fantastic cast (Keaton, Ruffalo, Schreiber, McAdams, Slattery), well paced, and just the right amount of details without it becoming an exhausting watch. I would recommend it

Probably would be in my top 5 of 2015

The Hateful Eight - Perhaps Tarantino's most mature work - even if there are still plenty of Tarantino gore and over-the-top dialogue. Really enjoyable if you like Tarantino, but unfortunately the second half is a bit of a letdown. A few plot-holes and some odd artistic choices. Nevertheless, it's definitely worth watching in 70 mm. Pretty cool with an overture as well. Morricone is the shit.

Youth - Almost seems like a The Great Beauty light. Sorrentino is always worth watching, but it didn't blow me away as I hoped it would. Despite that, it still leaves an impression, and I'm surely going to think about this quite a bit for the next few days.

I'll retract my statement. :D I thought it over, and there were a few things I considered plot-holes that actually turned out to have good explanations.

Still, there are a few things that, while they may not be plot-holes, are really illogical.
The whole incident following Tatum's nut-shot. It makes absolutely no sense for him to stay down there. Either he shoot some more from the basement or he get up before they're able to regroup. Staying down and eventually surrendering is just idiotic.

And how they were so sure Kurt Russell and Jennifer Jason Leigh were going to stop by Minnie's haberdashery? Sure, there was a blizzard coming, but it was quite sudden. Knowing they would end up at Minnie's seems pretty convenient.

These were exactly my thoughts. It was just missing something The Great Beauty possessed. I had a hard time putting my finger on it... Gravitas perhaps.

I think the plan was never for Tatum to shoot from the basement. The plan was that they will all eventually be poisoned by the coffee. If I remember correctly, everyone had a cup of coffee in front of them. Boyd Crowder and Jackson got a bit lucky, so Tatum had to improvise.

The other point I agree with. I assumed that Minnie's was kinda the "go to" place there, as it seemed popular enough for them, but yeah, too convenient.
