Because we were dealing with a World War II drama, the wardrobe was already muted, and since we were shooting in England and Ireland, we had day after day of foggy, rainy climate, which automatically made the light more diffused and the colors more pastel.
Hasn't Spielberg been involved with the release of his films on Blu? I see a reference above to Chinatown, but don't see that on Amazon. I was very very pleased with the Braveheart blu ray, but passed on Gladiator and Gump. Anything else rumored or official? The BR is brighter and the colours are somewhat more vibrant but for me at least it did not alter the experience significantly, let alone in a negative way.
More than anything, the BR has deepened my appreciation of the film. This is not a screw up of giant proportions like the Gladiator disc and you can always turn the colours down on the remote. The extras are duplicated from SD though the worthwhile "Shooting War" documentary may be exclusive not sure to BR and is worth watching for Tom Hanks' hideous beard alone.
Everyone needs to grow up when it comes to The Godfather Part III , I can't tell you how many people have told me that they essentially wasted money and purchased inferior editions just to avoid owning it.
No one's going to come into your house and give you shit for owning it, and if you hate it so much, just buy the trilogy set and throw that disc away. The time now is PM. Archive - Top. United States. Remember New member Lost password. Home Theater. Best Blu-ray Movie Deals.

I realize the apparent whiteness and Northerness of the Sapphire Series panelists was probably unconscious or accidental on the part of its organizers.
I realize the Sapphire Series resulted from institutionalized knowledges and practices of normalized whiteness that are the fault of no individual person, institution or collective. Rather, normalized whiteness is infused into how ISA is generally programmed, how IR is generally organized, how IR scholarship and practice are generally conducted.
I also realize it is not the case that no white Northern scholars can speak meaningfully and knowledgably about race in the discipline of IR. And I realize that a liberal politics of inclusion of racialized scholars in IR is insufficient to correct how normalized whiteness is practiced. But this case is about more than this.
I shudder to think what it could have been about. Were our racialized Program Chairs perceived to be crowding out normative whiteness in their program decision-making and on the program? I certainly hope not. I recently commented on how Disciplinary IR gentrifies critical theories to bring them into its fold.
This is not what I recommend on any front, including in terms of the racial politics of IR scholarship and IR professional management.
And we need to ask ourselves what we are going to do about this to change it. Her main research interests include feminist international relations, gender and the military, the combat exclusion for women, the aftermaths of war and post-conflict resolution, and transitional justice.
An excellent piece, raising very important questions about white privilege within ISA. Most troubling to me are the fact that the program chairs did not know about this series until it was brought to their attention by Cindy Weber. Can you imagine ISA headquarter going behind the back of program chairs who are white?! Additionally, there are prominent feminists on these panels — no doubt a result of feminist intervention into the male dominated ISA and IR field.
However, those of us who struggled for inclusion of feminist voices within IR and ISA, did so with an understanding of power and privilege and with a commitment to other marginalized groups in the field. Given world events of the past year and the marginalization of people of color in the field and at ISA, this new series that was added to the program is VERY troubling and we must make our protest heard beyond our immediate circles!
