Finally got a chance to watch it in its entirety. Probably my movie of the year so far. Sam Rockwell delivers a stellar performance. The audio is freaking amazing. Very innovative usage of your entire speaker real estate. If you want to showcase your wides, this is the perfect demo. Highly recommended.

We liked it . It is in our Kscape library!
 
Everything’s going to be great. - very enjoyable movie. Little old school perhaps in terms of style but in a positive way. Bryan Cranston and Allison Janney lead the way with a smallish cast. The sharp banter between the family members underpins a charming look at family relationships set against a theatrical background as they struggle and react to I guess normal problems.
 

An interesting watch. An art thief gets trapped in a multi-million dollar high-rise apartment, at points surviving on tropical fish and dogfood, finding a creative spark as he attempts to escape.
 
Did a marathon of Andrey Zvyagintsev films this long weekend. Was happy to see that K had all his films and at decent prices. Just one more to watch of his. Very interesting films and filmmaker (if you like dark, thought-provoking films):
 
High Noon - tight script, tension, drama, great use of real time. Really enjoyed it.
That'a my favorite Western! Love love love that movie. Great life lessons on courage and loyalty.

My latest watches are Rogue One: The Andor Cut and also Dust Bunny which was @thrillcat 's recommendation. Both were fantastic. I think The Andor Cut replaces the theatrical cut as my preferred version. That almost never happens, I generally prefer the theatrical release to special editions and fan edits. This one is very well done.

I couldn't find "Rogue One: The Andor Cut" anywhere, streaming, discs, Kaleidescape, etc.

It’s a fan edit. If you search on YouTube you’ll find trailers and the process for downloading it. There’s compressed versions directly linked on a Google Drive (a 15GB 4K file that looks visibly compressed on a giant screen), and a 50GB 4K HDR version (that looks on par with the disc) available by Resilio sync via the StarWarsTrilogy forum, which requires membership to access. Once you have that, you can convert the ISO file to MKV, upload it to your Plex server, sync it to your Infuse on Apple TV, and play it from there. If you manage your way down that rabbit hole, I’d also recommend Alien3: The Legacy Cut. It’s the other fan edit I prefer over the theatrical. Both make trims, replace bad effects with better ones, and make subtle dialogue and visual additions that work well. Andor goes a step further by mixing in the streaming show’s score and some scenes as flashbacks. It makes the movie feel like it’s from Andor’s perspective, as opposed to Jyn Erso’s.

Oh, and the horrible CGI Tarkin and Leia are replaced by deep fakes made by the guy who one-upped ILM on YouTube with much better versions. Both are now tolerable to watch. I’d say 75% improved.

I realize that AI is a sensitive topic, but the potential impact to fan edits cannot be overstated. The fact is we will see full Fan/Crowd/AI generated movies, sequels, etc. The definition of fanfic is going to explode.
