Just FYI, DO NOT purchase All of Us Strangers from Amazon Prime! They've done unspeakable things to the color and white balance. Everything is flat and all the warm hyperreal color is lost. The dark scenes are impossible to see. And once you start playing it they won't give you a refund, so buyer beware!

I've spent a long damn time looking at scenes from the film so I know what it should look like AND THAT AIN'T IT!

Adding that I haven't yet tried to watch it on a television, it could be that their mobile app player is just universally awful and hates color, I will report back later when I am sure, but the other two copies I've seen (Hulu and 🏴‍☠️) which were FINE, were also on mobile versions of their apps, so no excuse Amazon.

Update: even on a tv it looks terrible. Everything was still dark and flat and slightly greenish. (I'm still not sure if the problem is the movie or the Prime Video player in general.) I finally broke down and bought it again, this time from YouTube, and it looks perfect, the color is exactly as it was in the promo versions! 🎉 Lesson learned, that's the last time I buy a movie from Amazon Prime.

“  you  must  be  mayven,  yeah?  come  on  in;  mum  had  to  go  pick  up  some  last  minute  gifts,  but  she  should  be  back  in  an  hour.  “          she’s  never  been  a  fan  of  the  holidays.  but  she  has  to  admit,  the  blending  of  all  the  typical  festivities  into  their  own  personalized  set  of  events  is  something  she  has  no  choice  but  to  admire  since  aisling  adopted  her.  unless  anyone  in  the  family  observes  certain  religious  traditions,  for  the  most  part,  they  just  contribute  their  own  rituals  and  watch  the  festivities  elevate  from  there.  today  is  the  first  of  these  celebrations.  the  day  of  the  jonas  brothers.  no  kidding.  that’s  the  genuine,  honest  to  goodness  title  for  today.  it  started  as  aisling  trying  to  suggest  jones-mas  as  a  substitution,  then  jone-mas,  and  then  richard  misheard  her  and  started  calling  it  jonas,  and  then  renée,  in  a  haze  of  rosé  and  peppermint  candy  canes,  declared  the  day  of  the  jonas  brothers  to  be  off  to  a  brilliant  start.  now,  two  years  later,  they  have  the  great  pleasure  of  explaining  the  entire  saga  to  mayven.  but  tina’s  wiser  than  her  age  should  imply.  let  it  fall  to  someone  else  to  explain  the  logic  behind  today.  for  now,  she  holds  out  her  hand,  gesturing  to  her  coat  with  raised  brows.          “  i  can  hang  it  in  the  closet,  if  you  like?  and  there’s  drinks  and  snacks  in  the  dining  room,  but  be  careful;  henri  gets  cranky  when  people  eat  snacks  before  dinner,  and  etienne  is  trying  to  get  him  to  agree  to  a  road  trip  to  some  culinary  fair  in  texas,  so  he  won’t  stop  him  if  he  starts  ranting.  “

Saxophone History Podcast Episodes 7-9 Paul Desmond

I’ve just released the third and final episode on Paul Desmond for the Saxophone history podcast and I think the three episodes are quite an interesting story. Just like with the other saxophonists I’ve looked at, Desmond had a much more colourful life than the few bits and anecdotes that we all know of. I hope you’ll give these episodes a listen and then I hope you’ll listen to some of his…

Not only the lonely

"Not only the lonely", a review of Andrew Haigh's 'All of us strangers'.

DINNER for three with Adam (Andrew Scott), his dad (Jamie Bell) and mum (Claire Foy) in a scene from All of Us Strangers. WHAT WOULD YOU do if you visited your childhood home, and your parents, as young as they were when you were a small child, opened the door, and recognised you immediately? Only, you’re still you in the here and now and have lived, aged and erred, for some decades in their…

The start of filming for Pressure is creeping closer…

[ilikethisacompletelynormalamount]

All of Us Strangers Criterion Collection DVDs (Blu-ray and 4K) are now available! This is something that many fans have been asking for since the film was released in cinemas, but for a long time it looked like there wouldn't be a physical media release at all, so it's definitely a cause for celebration! The 4K version includes some new special features.

I'm sorry Andrew Haigh, but I don't believe you. What is the purpose of that spotlight if not to backlight the kiss? Maybe you didn't plan it, but Jamie Ramsay is meticulous, there's no way this effect was accidental.

ALL OF US STRANGERS (2023) dir. Andrew Haigh

"I don’t think we planned the shot where Adam and Harry kiss, with the light streaming behind them. But I wanted them to kiss each other and the light was behind them and it felt like such a magical moment. It’s like the whole world disappears around them and you’re just focusing on this beautiful, sensual, wondrous moment. They’re gay people in the safe space of a queer club and they can be exactly who they are, in public."

lots happening! andrew and april took turns on grilling duty, helena spent most of vacation demanding to be in the paddling pool, wyatt tricked to sneak onto his laptop a few times to play math games (with no success...). april and andrew had very little alone time but hooked the kids up with a movie on the projector to keep them quiet for an hour and helena of course cried everytime she had to eat anything her dad cooked. and tuesday got lots of attention.
