Waste of time.

Watched it as well, as part of my two week experiment with Moviepass...don't know about you, but I sorta knew it was going to be a waste of time beforehand!

If you're wondering why I dumped Moviepass, it was because they wouldn't let me see movies at AMC Century City anymore...fortunately, Costco (where I bought the pass..still available) has the best return policy in retail. FWIW, if I had theaters in my area that took Moviepass, I would sign up in a New York minute!

Finally got around to seeing Get Out. Very, very good. I need to do a revisit in a few days. I'm sure there's much I missed.

If you watched it on HBO you missed almost 30% of the movie, so I'd say you saw it this way you did miss much.

However whatever the aspect ratio I'll give you two:

!!!!!!! SPOILER ALERT !!!!!!

1. He picks cotton to save himself
2. Why is there the scene of the cop hassling them on the way to the parents' house?

Peele has thought about every shot and scene in the movie and almost nothing is there without a reason.
Examples: Why a lacrosse stick?
Why bingo cards?
Why the symmetry of the house exterior (not visible on HBO) and many things inside the house?

As long as they keep ruining this masterpiece I'm not finished. I tried contacting HBO--good luck. I've tried contacting the PGA (Producers Guild), I tried to contact the NY Times columnist who wrote an article about where to see AA nominated films and he recommended HBO. I can't understand how people, who I'm sure have respect for painters and their paintings, don't think that a filmmaker's vision shouldn't be ruined by eliminating almost 30% of the image. I wasn't going to post a rant, but you pulled me back in.

I can't imagine that this is a financial issue for HBO. There's no question this is true. I'm thinking that the average HBO subscriber probably gets freaked out a little bit by letterboxing, and doesn't understand why their screen isn't all the way filled up. There is no question that this also is true.

Pretty good, though I'm amazed that they could do a movie like this without someone being "offended".
