What happened to the ten posts per day restriction?

Watched this last night and was not impressed at all, if this was based on a true story?

Paul Greengrass appears to have taken liberties with the true story. According to crew members, Phillips was nothing like the heroic character portrayed in the film.

'A Hijacking' is a much better film.

According to a member at tos, if you want this you better get it.

I heard Tobias Lindholm took some liberties with that story, too.

They always do, that's like the Butler. Not even close to what happened. But it's Hollywood for you.

Not sure, BB does that all the time with SKU's. There a lot of Anime titles that no longer show up in their system. Same thing with SB's and other collector editions. I guess once stock gets low enough they delist them.

A Highjacking was good, but didn't have the payoff Captain Phillips did. I felt Kapringen was strongest when it was from the point of view of the shipping company executive, whereas Captain Phillips was more focused on the action. Overall both are good films but I preferred Captain Phillips (which I saw afterwards).

Here's an AMA with Greengrass where he defends claims over accuracy:

What a weird looking steelbook.

What a weird looking steelbook.

It's really not that bad. Though it does appear to be cheap. At least the title could have been embossed. Oh well. It's the first truly good film that I wanted on Steelbook in a while.

Getting low for those that want them.

Info per THS @ tos.

Checked our system at work today, Looks like we're down to 722 units of the "Captain Phillips" Steelbook, company-wide. Down from over 55,000 units in just 8 days.

Why is this back to 29.99? Was the price only good for release week?

I think I just saw Best Buy's eyes get really big and probably order more Thor 2 steelbooks.
