Watched few days ago a white & black movie from 1964, with a perfect mastering of light and scenes, certainly conducted by a photographer (John Frankenheimer?) as easch moment show pictures in picture : Seven days in may. A little slow at te beginning but worth it. Lancaster did the job as many actors... liked the president gravity, and the contrast between Kirk Douglas and Burt Lancaster.
Tried to watch "Angels and Devils" the other night. I like subtitles these days and so does my non-native-english speaking wife. Downloaded the best subtitle track file to compliment the DVD rip. Ended up fiddle-@#$%ing with the "offset" and "rate" controls in VLC to sync the subtitles - which would go off by 30, 60 seconds most of the time, to the point where it just ruined the whole evening. One would think there'd be a better way, but I guess this is the only way - until finally I reached the "I give up" point. So_Too_Bad. Movie soundtrack sounded fantastic -
Is this really the state of the art with subtitling - if it's not available from the source?

There are many mysteries about the "Star Wars" franchise. Mainly, IMO, why the Imperial Storm Troopers bother wearing body armor at all.
Seems like a single shot from a 1850's Colt 45 wipes them out!
Back onto sub-titleing. I was watching Star Wars "Rogue One" tonight. Just for laughs, I switched to Norwegian subtitles. Norwegian isn't hard for an English speaker. I am assured that a child of 4 can speak it in Norway.

Norwegian Jyn Erso steals the plans for the Death Star,
As she wisely says: "Matte Kraften vaere med oss"
Which means "May the Force be with us."
All gets a bit confusing after that. Darth Vader rocks up and kills most everybody. But somehow the Plans of the Death Star get sent to Carrie Fisher aka Princess Leia. Be alright in the next film, one feels.

That’s funny. My wife and I went on vacation to visit some friends. While there, the ladies were busy and my friend was working, so I went to see Rogue One but it was sold out. Later in the week he asked if I still wanted to go to the show while the girls were out shopping. So we went to see Rogue One. After the movie was over and we were walking out my buddy turns to me and ask “Do they ever blow up that DeathStar?”
