How much do Mantalab steelbooks cost shipped to US usually through direct or group buy purchase?

Around $150 to $180 shipped for one clicks Their prices have gone up recently so its more towards $180.

Once upon a time in Hollywood manta was like $57 shipped for individual versions
 
That's the thing, they are not in charge. Collectong is hired by Manta Lab to do these tasks (customer service, updates...) for them so that ML can focus on different workloads.
Again, well aware. Just used Collectong as the differentiator since I assumed that would be easy to understand since they started using that website the way ML has released artwork has clearly changed. Not sure why this needed a back and forth. *shrug*

In my opinion it is his best directorial work from the craft perspective , it is not his most interesting film though. But it is a historical war movie, so I don’t expect it to be as interesting as Prestige or Memento for example.
You don't expect it to be interesting because it's a historical war movie? Seriously?

You must have hated 1917 or Saving Private Ryan then...... :rolleyes:

Sorry, I meant interesting in terms of the plot.
Historical movies like SPR, 1917 and Dunkirk offer a look into historical events that everyone is aware of and we all know how they ended, which means they can only add interesting characters in order to make the script work in some interesting way. I wouldn’t consider characters from SPR or 1917 the most interesting, especially SPR... pretty stereotypical American patriotic stuff, not much unexpected conflict going on. 1917 characters were not interesting too, IMHO.
Dunkirk went with a very interesting approach trying to not have any characters at all, showing that during war individual characters/people don’t really matter that much and people are usually reacting in the same way to the events unfolding.
Saving Private Ryan, script wise, is not a perfect movie. And i find it hard to believe in the plausibility of their particular mission. ( you can check the real story this movie was inspired by, and you’ll find that no such mission ever existed) It is gorgeously shot movie and I watch it every year anyway because of the spectacle of war.
1917 is the same thing, gorgeously shot movie with weak and pretty unbelievable plot. IMHO.
In terms of real depiction of war Dunkirk is way more believable than 1917 or Saving Private Ryan
(after initial 24 minutes of Omaha Beach sequences which are considered to be very realistic).
I don’t watch war movies like SPR, 1917 or Dunkirk to be surprised by the plot as those movies are pretty limited to what they can do with the story with very few exceptions like Appocalypse Now and Thin Red Line where the focus is not battle scenes but characters instead.

1917 is hugely overrated and although a good movie, it's got nothing on Dunkirk.
