Was listening to the audio commentary for the film last night and apparently that scene you guys are talking about was longer. Before it was trimmed, that scene has Landy actually making the call to Melinda and then Melinda tells Landy 'If he wants a date with me, he'll have to call me himself' or something like that. Then what we see in the film happens, Brian calls back.

Landy telling Brian to use his other ear (as if Brian had never used the phone, or not in a long time) seems stupidly crude to me

I thought nothing much of it. You can clearly hear Brian say that it's the wrong ear, which made Landy say "Use the other ear"...as if Landy was actually putting the phone up to Brain's head.

surely Landy knew enough not to fumble (with an old phone receiver) like that, which ear of Brian's to use calling Melinda, because one can only imagine how many previous phone-call coachings preceded it (i.e. Landy trying to get Brian to call a record company executive).  it still seems crude to me

at their first Cadillac dealership meeting Melinda says "You didn't tell me that!"  (that he was THE Brian Wilson) to which Brian replies "oh...that's just ego stuff".  But when they talk over the phone the first time she begins responding to him "Hello, Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys"

back to the Huffington Post for a moment, the reviewer says actor Paul Giamatti plays Dr. Landy with gusto.  Yes, that word summarizes his portrayal perfectly IMO.

while I wouldn't mind debating exactly who might, or at least should, get an Oscar nomination, everyone would be right in their varying assertions because ALL of the principals were that good

p.s.:  was it Mr. Mark Linnett, whom we see so often in the film (even though he doesn't look a thing like Chuck Britz) that uttered the line "it's going to cost $5000" (when Brian wants to cancel a SMiLE session)?

p.p.s.:  in the '60s scenes at Brian's home, and at the studio too, there were quite a few scenes w/ background individuals shooting a little 8mm movie camera

He was good but not that good. I still don't understand why he felt the need to always have his head pulled back like he did.

Cruising Ebay, found a listing for the Blu-ray disc: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Love-Mercy-Blu-ray-Disc-2015-/131594319722 

Does this mean it's available everywhere?

Or, the seller plans to use their quoted "extended handling time" as an excuse not to ship this until it's actually released?

Looking at the listing, I'm thinking the extending handling is due to the street date. 

There's a record store that I used to go to that used to get promo copies of CDs and DVDs and sell them before the street date, but I think they got their wrists slapped for that.

EBay has a ton of "pre-order" listings like this, only some of which actually state that it is a pre-order. Only having a stock photo is another tell. I can't imagine why anyone would bite on that listing instead of just ordering from Amazon for $12.96.

Sellers on eBay have been listing pre-order stuff like this for years. There is absolutely no reason to pre-order via eBay. Best to stick with the e-tailer du jour.

You can find plenty of deals on eBay, but very rarely for new (especially pre-order), sealed, new release items. I’d be surprised if there are many if any sellers presently selling the “Love & Mercy” Blu-ray, brand new and sealed, for less than $12.96 with free shipping.

Once the thing has been out for a while, and especially if you’re open to used copies, you can find better deals on eBay (though the Amazon marketplaces sellers often have similar and sometimes better prices).

One of the misleading things eBay sellers do with new releases that haven’t come out yet is to not indicate it’s a pre-order and imply they have it ready to sell now, and the way they get sales is by luring impulsive buyers who think they are getting a jump on the standard release date. Someone might pay more if they can get it earlier. But as mentioned above, stock photos and stock specs are a dead giveaway that they don’t have the item in-hand.

I try as much as possible to never buy items on eBay that use stock photos. At best, it means the seller is just lazy and/or has too much stuff to sell to care. At worst, it means they’re trying to hide something.

I agree on the use of Stock photos. hate it!  I did buy one that " supposedly" has already shipped, so if the it really arrives early....

It’s definitely possible that some eBay sellers might have copies of the physical Blu-ray, as we’re only eleven days away from the “street date.” The discs have surely been manufactured and in some cases are already at retailers simply waiting for the release date to arrive.

I would imagine most folks here would want to own the movie, but it’s worth mentioning that I see that “Redbox” vending machines will have “Love & Mercy” on release date, 9/15, as well. That will be a cheaper option than renting on Amazon, etc.

I think Redbox prices are now different depending on region. On the cheaper end, DVDs are $1.20 per night and Blu-rays are $1.50. I think in some areas it has gone up to $1.50 for DVD and $2.00 for Blu-ray.

They announced that price hike across the board some time back, I think late last year. But for some reason I've heard from people in some areas that they are still paying the lower price. I don't use Redbox much, but I think I used it maybe a few months back and it was still at the lower tier at the machine I used.

Apple has showed the Love and Mercy poster for several minutes tonight during their live event.

Great exposure for Brian! Smiley

I ordered the blu Ray from Amazon and if you want a good laugh go there and read some of the reviews by people that did not like it. Here's an idea..... Maybe watch the trailer and pay attention to it before you pay to see it so you will have a clue. One person said the TV movie was better and covered the same ground! Hilarious.

JCM- nice to see your review pop up first there on Amazon. Fitting since you love it so much and have done a lot of work to enlighten people about it.

I found the one review that wanted the beach parties, bikini girls, etc pretty funny.  I guess that person didn't hear any Beach Boys material after the All Summer Long record.
