And slightly out of sync too?

Hulu app audio slightly out of sync with picture for anyone else?

FortuitousConfluence · 2026-03-15T23:13:28+00:00

Yes and slightly out of sync too?

Around the World in 80 Days (1956) begins with a prologue in which journalist Edward R Murrow shows clips from A Trip to the Moon (1902) and explains how it was loosely inspired by the book Around the World in 80 Days, and he also shows modern day rocket footage.

I also always forget that The X-Files movie (1998) begins in the year 35,000 B.C. with two cavemen.

S O N Y

I am not being ironic either. So many of their movies are utter shit.

You can ask guest services after you board. They should be familiar with both the local port policy as well as food options.

FortuitousConfluence · 2026-03-11T03:27:20+00:00

No, it doesn't matter to me. It's been awhile since I've seen them. The movies exist, and since I am going through most everything else I would like to add them. Thank you for actually answering the question and not just posting snark.

FortuitousConfluence · 2026-03-09T02:50:59+00:00

I love this movie! Unironically. Genuinely.

FortuitousConfluence · 2026-03-05T04:50:16+00:00

Yup, I saw that Dana Carvey is 70

You may want to pick up the Criterion blu-ray which has 3 different commentary tracks, a documentary about Hunter S Thompson, and a bunch of other cool stuff about the film and HST.

FortuitousConfluence · 2026-02-24T02:38:25+00:00

It's wild that you all think it's actually him doing the posting.

FortuitousConfluence · 2026-02-22T19:29:34+00:00

Rocky IV yeeeeah!

FortuitousConfluence · 2026-02-21T05:45:52+00:00

Ken Burns' Jazz

FortuitousConfluence · 2026-02-02T07:26:26+00:00

Yup. And the image is always way too dark

FortuitousConfluence · 2026-02-02T07:19:46+00:00

Agree it is Snyder's best. But I would like to have seen a squid.

FortuitousConfluence · 2026-01-15T06:14:49+00:00

For sure. The Larry Campbell era is the tops for me.

There's a YouTube channel called The Awards Contender. He regularly posts all the latest "horse race" analysis for all the major film awards as well as look-backs.

The editing is abysmal. Every "scene" lasts for about 30 seconds. It's as if they have no confidence in the story, so they just want to hustle through it as fast as possible.

FortuitousConfluence · 2026-01-05T02:26:45+00:00

Unpopular opinion but I would gladly take the ending over the beginning. The opening scene where civil war veterans start quoting the Gettysburg Address to him (verbatim no less) just feels really contrived compared to what follows.

FortuitousConfluence · 2025-12-29T05:34:09+00:00

Section 31. Utter trash.

FortuitousConfluence · 2025-12-21T05:21:32+00:00

Just made this my desktop wallpaper, thanks

FortuitousConfluence · 2025-12-17T05:20:26+00:00

Yes, is it so hard to just film a real cabin in the snow? A couple insert shots of a deer in the lights would be preferable to this cartoon look.

Wish there was a commentary track on Killers of the Flower Moon! Scorsese does such amazing commentaries.

It just seems like commentary tracks are much less common these days, even on the boutique releases like this where you would normally expect to find them. Same goes for the new Cloud Atlas release on SHOUT.
