Uh-oh...fashion faux pas on my part. I went with a tux and top hat. Well, isn't [i]this[/i] embarrassing?
Any suggestions on which wine I should order with my nachos and fish-n-chips?

I'd like to see it. I've read a lot of the reviews, skipping over the plot summaries so they don't ruin it for me.
Some of the commentary is pretty funny. Apparently some Hollywood reviewer commented that he thought women would find it rough to watch, and caught a bunch of grief for it. The reviewer who mentioned this previous review admitted that his own life as a metrosexual had not prepared him for the movie, either, but that's not how he phrased it. LOL.
The [I]New York Times[/I] review managed not only to be scrupulously politically correct, but to signal support for Bernie Sanders as well. It's actually pretty amusing to read, if you like self-parody. Here's the trigger warning at the end of the review, for instance: [I]"The Revenant” is rated R (Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult companion). Intense, at times graphic violence, including scenes involving animals. Running time: 2 hours 36 minutes.
[/I]Yeah, because no one would expect animals in a movie about frontiersmen in the wilderness. But if violence among people upsets you, prepare to have your mind blown about the animals...:tap:

Saw it today. Thought it was a great movie and really enjoyed it. Just wouldn't call it Oscar worthy.
10.) DParker - 01/11/2016
Good flick. I'm going to think back on it every time I'm tempted to complain about what a bad week I've had.

I hear you! I think it presented what I imagine is an accurate picture of the era and the society back then or rather a lack there of...
We tend (especially through Hollywood, IMO) to glorify and have a namby-pamby view of past eras. There was no mincing the truth of this flick that pretty much everything and everyone out there either wanted to eat you, kill you, or screw you over in one form or fashion!
My only complaint...and it's pretty dang minor for a movie like this was: sound effects. I believe they were trying to pass the timing off for the movie as during the late winter early spring. (Unless I missed something and may be I did?) Fine and good, and they portrayed pretty accurate weather patterns for northern Montana and the Glacier area where it was supposed to be set. But, here is my rub - a couple of different times the producer was trying to get across the point of spring on the horizon and the sound effects included peepers and I even heard a few bullfrogs carrying on in the background... !?!?!
No way! First of all, anyone that's spent any time in this part of the country through a couple of winters knows that peepers don't come out here until way later in the summer season and the big snafu IMO, there are NO bullfrogs in this region. The other sound effects oversight; elk bugling throughout the whole movie…it added a nice sense of location – but elk only bugle during the pre-rut and rut (Sept –Oct), not in the spring. Any how, all that was pretty darn minor for movie like this... I enjoyed the rest of the movie; worth seeing if you haven’t in my opinion.

Plan on seeing the movie but it's not a minor thing with me either WB. Was watching Ax men last night and they were showing some guy in the swamp and you could clearly hear a loon in the background. wtf. I think they are so stupid they just pipe any old animal call in the background.

They were better shots back in those days, or didn't get much pattern out of their shotguns, LOL.
One of my favorite movie goofs is in [I]What About Bob? [/I], where they call a shotgun a rifle two or three times.
I tried to hang in there with [I]Sleepy Hollow[/I], the TV series, because the traditional Headless Horseman tale is such a great ghost story, but the series eventually went too far afield to hold my interest. I knew things were headed the wrong way when Revolutionary War-era horsemen were riding western saddles and Hudson Valley locations had Spanish moss and black water, LOL.
Next thing, I figured, DParker will try to tell me Ragnar on [I]Vikings[/I] is drinking vodka....

There was a piece on NPR a few weeks ago about how some sound effects were done in wildlife documentaries. At least by one state-of-the-art producer during the part of it that I heard. I just tried to find it, but a few minutes searching wasn't enough. Anyway, if anyone comes across it, the part I heard was pretty interesting.

CBS admits to bird-brained scheme
By Garry Smits
Times-Union sports writer,
It's a beautiful day on the golf course, the sun is shining and birds are singing.
Well, as CBS has been forced to admit, two out of three isn't bad.
The network came clean earlier this week and confessed that it has been mixing in taped sounds of birds singing with live golf telecasts, most recently at the World Golf Championship NEC Invitational two weeks ago in Akron, Ohio.
[B]Not only that, but according to bird-call experts asked by the New York Post to watch and listen to videotape of CBS broadcasts, the network isn't even getting the birds in the correct geographic area.[/B]
The Post reported that the taped bird calls were used by CBS during the playing of the NEC Invitational, the PGA Championship in Louisville, Ky., and the Buick Open in Warwick Hills, Mich. CBS spokeswoman Leslie Ann Wade said the bird calls were used to get "ambient sound" for broadcasts, and were only a last resort.
The first resort: putting dishes of birdfeed near microphones at tournament sites. Wade said when that doesn't produce the desired sounds of nature, they go to the tape.
Bird-watchers interviewed by the Post said the worst part is that someone at CBS didn't research which birds were indigenous to Ohio, Kentucky and Michigan. One, John Malcolm of Gaithersburg, Md., said he heard a canyon wren, which lives only west of Texas, on a Buick Open tape; and a white-throated sparrow, found only in the North during the summer, on tapes from the PGA and NEC Invitational.
[B]"Why not just dub in harp music for certain crucial holes," [/B]Malcolm said. "It's deceitful." :-)

The funny thing was that about 10 minute into the movie the visuals had both of us feeling like we were freezing to death ourselves, even though the theater was quite comfortable. Then, after it was over and we left, I had an overwhelming urge for ice cream and we stopped at the nearby DQ for blizzards.
I'm pretty sure they used mind-control rays, or somethin'.

Saw it this weekend. My review of the movie? "Eh." That's it. Just "Eh." In other words, the pre-show hype didn't match what I saw and I was disappointed.
The story line is real man (Hugh Glass) gets mauled by bear and spends 80% of the movie crawling around in the dirt. He survives the elements and repeatedly defies hypothermia so he can kill the man who killed his son. That's it. Did I mention the bear scene? Oh yeah and oh hell no. Never want to experience that and will always, always, always be packin in bear country.
Excellent cinematography,occasional dialog, great costuming, a few memorable characters, engaging set decoration, engaging story (especially for outdoorsmen & women) and with some exceptions duly noted, attention to authenticity.
Oscar for Leonardo? I'd give it to Tom Hardy before Leonardo. Would I see it again? Yes. Would I recommend it to others? Yes. Did it reach the level of Jeremiah Johnson? Nope.

Here in VA this upcoming snow is definitely going to shut down the entire state (only takes 1" or so). My plan is to fire up the smoker, load 'er up with hickory, get some venison jerky I've been marinating in there and get a few tenderloins happening. That and a case of beer should get me through the worst part of snowmaggedon.

Another thing the bugged me? In one scene our hero is finally "rescued" as he walks out of the wilderness barely able to walk and in one hell of a terrible physical state. A bowl of soup and 24-hrs later he's chasing down the villain in knee deep snow without a care despite all the injuries and lacerations that hadn't healed. Adrenaline I suppose.
And another thing ... why did he take his clothes off and *THEN* get inside the dead horse? Wouldn't his clothes then be frozen solid? Wouldn't rigor mortis *and* a frozen carcass make it nearly impossible to escape the carcass? Just sayin, maybe nitpicking.
