It seems like Apple has fixed the bug in Compressor 4 (or more likely in the underlying frameworks) that prevented me from encoding wave-files into Dolby Digital AC3s.

I’d heard a lot about how this one was different from the earlier MCU movies and while it felt less serious – mostly in a good way – I don’t think it was this radical shift that some made it out to be.
Anyway, it was enjoyable but also a bit forgettable. I probably won’t rush to rewatch this anytime soon.
One interesting thing was the scene in the beginning that was set in the past, where they’d digitally de-aged Michael Douglas. I knew this was going to be a thing and after my negative reaction to Tarkin in Rouge One I expected to dislike this as well. Turns out I was wrong. Technology marches on fast and this digital effect looked really good. Funnily enough I actually though digitally de-aged Douglas looked more real than the real Douglas in the rest of the movie.

I wonder if having watched Agents of Shield makes The Winter Soldier a better movie. I mean, I liked The Winter Soldier and the original Captain America movie as well, but the movie that The Incomparable speaks about sounds like better movie than the one I watched.

The Incomparable’s ”Summer of Marvel” was what got me into watching the MCU movies, so I figured I might also re-listen to a few of the podcasts after actually having watched the movies.
