[Seanny One Ball]

That's the best trailer I've seen for a long time.

It gave me chills and told me very little.

[Lock Jaw]

No idea what this is about, but it is Nolan, so I am interested....

"lol" at me thinking one moment "This can't be a Chris Nolan film, I don't see Michael Caine anywhere" and then he is in the next shot.....

[GD]

The whole movie is in reverse :eek:

[RP]

I cant believe i'm saying this, but Robert Pattinson is one of the best actors going right now and one of my favorite.

I wish we could erase Twilight.

If you havent seen Good Time. You need to see Good Time.

[GD]

His performance in "High Life" was commendable as well.

[Seanny One Ball]

The whole movie is in reverse :eek:

So was half of Memento

[GD]

The actual scenes are in reverse lol

[Seanny One Ball]

The surrounding physics seem to be in reverse but they're speaking normally.

Make some effort Chris.

[Frank Drebin]

I'm down.

Chris Nolan the only person left given free reign to make original IP's with a big budget.

Please never die.

[slik]

Looks great

[GD]

Make some effort Chris.

Love to foolishly speculate before every Nolan flick.

[Seanny One Ball]

It turns out JDW was Sammy Jankis all along

[ClockShot]

Warner Bros. pulled this from their schedule indefinitely.

[slik]

Damn.

I honestly don't see any films being released before (at the earliest) October but most likely not until 2021.

[RP]

It's a good call, but it sucks for us.

[Destor]

Itll be interesting to see the long term effects of distribution. The theater was already shrinking as the home viewing experience matched the quality of the theater. Will this speed up the passing of the torch for streaming?

[Seanny One Ball]

Cinema will always exist in one form or another as a shared social experience as long as we have the ability to make films because people will always like being near other people even if it costs them money.

[Destor]

Strongly disagree in a broad sense. Im sure single screen theaters will exist SOMEWHERE for forever. But tech advancements will kill theaters just like they did the arcades.

[Destor]

There are 50 drive in movie theaters left in the US. These things come and go

[Destor]

And the trend currently is only visual spectacles draw in the theaters any more. Smaller dramas tank hard but still do as well as ever on streaming. 8k is coming. Once audio quality improves at home direct to streaming releases will be the preferred method for film viewing.


100%

[Seanny One Ball]

They have said the same about every advancement of home entertainment over the years.

Cinema won't die, it might take on more of a rarified image like vinyl collecting but it will stay alive in one form or another.

[RP]

So... I'm not sure Chris Nolan has made a bad movie so I cant possibly be angry at this.


Side note : I think Dunkirk is one of the greatest movies ever made and i've watched it twice and plan on watching it again. It's incredible!

[Seanny One Ball]

I really didn't like Dunkirk very much at all.
I can see that it was well made but it didn't thrill me in the slightest.

[Lock Jaw]

Yeah, Dunkirk looked beautiful, but the way the story was presented didn't grip me. Felt like too worried about making it look amazing that the plot suffered.

[slik]

Have been reading people's theories on TENET based on set photos and the trailer and I think people are onto something...possible spoilers/guessing



This is not a Time Travel movie as we think it is...

When we think of time travel we always think of going to the distant future and going forward from there...but what if we only skip ahead a little...like minutes at a time...and instead of going forward from there, everything starts reversing back until you reach the same point from which you left...

some people have pointed out in the car crash scene in the trailer it would appear that the main character is in both cars at the same "time", the one that crashes and the one that doesn't...

[RP]

Not even reading this shit. Nolan movies should not be spoiled.

[RP]

And what does it matter anyways? Gladiator is the best movie of all time!

[Droford]

And what does it matter anyways? Gladiator is the best movie of all time!

I think you mean

what does it matter anyways? Its never getting released.

[Droford]

Not ifvthe government says they can't open

[Seanny One Ball]

Shut it you or I'll kill the little boy that wished you alive and you'll turn back into a snowman

[Droford]

it'll be at least 2022 before it gets released

They have too much money invested to throw it up to rent online for $20, so theyre going to keep pushing it back but as long as theres like only a few theates open out of
40,000 available screens they won't release it.

[slik]

Opening scene of the film, I think this will be amazing

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Wow. That was stellar. I haven't seen Dunkirk but heard great things. No surprise that I love his Batman films. But, I also loved Insomnia and Inception and I'm gladhe's going seemingly back to a crime genre type of movie.

[Lock Jaw]

Will refrain from watching that.... but looking forward (or backwards?!) to whenever the hell this releases.

[teamXtremist]

Anyone see an early screening yet? I’m going Today. Please provide non-spoiler thoughts.

[Lock Jaw]

Felt rushed to me.

[teamXtremist]

He tries too hard to outsmart the audience in this one. I like his unique approach to his movies but this one seemed like he wanted to be TOO clever. Only he would make such a simple story of an arms dealer who gets hold of a weird version of a time machine, intends to end the world with it, and a team from the future assigned to stop him into such a complex and wacky mess.

The music/action sequences were great as always with him though.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I'm going to see this on Friday. I think this might be the first time I've been to the cinema since October last year.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

Same, El Vaq. So far, no seats other than my lone purchase have been reserved. I may very well get to watch this by myself.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I checked my showing and I'm currently the only person booked for it at the moment. I've loved it on the rare occasion when I've had an auditorium to myself.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Checked my showing and I'm still the only one booked in for it. Glorious.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

There were only 4 other people in the theater. They were in groups of 2. The closest people to me were 8 seats away in the same aisle.

[Sepholio]

was it good?

[Damian Rey 2.0]

It was interesting, beautifully shot and choreographed. But it was hard to follow because the dialogue is drowned out by the music and sound effects.

[Seanny One Ball]

It sounds like a film I will hate.

I don't like audio fuckery.

[GD]

I guess I had similar qualms in "Interstellar" and "Dunkirk". But it did make for some epic scenes.

[Seanny One Ball]

Interstellar was tits, absolutely incredible stuff.
Dunkirk wasn't.

[Seanny One Ball]

Dunkirk may be the most forgettable film I have ever seen, which is quite a feat for a film based upon history that is rather well known.

[RP]

ok this insane! Dunkirk is literally one of the best movies i've ever seen. I think you're trolling now.

[RP]

Dont shit on Dunkirk! You have no clue what you're talking about!

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

I think I refused to see Dunkirk because it has Harry Stiles in it, which for some reason irked my sensibilities. Does he have a big part in the film? If not, I may consider watching it after all, unless the audio mixing is as atrocious as it is in Tenet.

[Seanny One Ball]

Dont shit on Dunkirk! You have no clue what you're talking about!


It's a very generic film

[Seanny One Ball]

RP is back on the booze and livin' it large

Fairly big part, but most actors dont have many speaking parts. He's actually very good in this movie.

Not backing your opinion and instead attacking those who oppose your opinion is a sign of extreme weakness.

[Seanny One Ball]

Some of them had moustaches, that much I do know

[Seanny One Ball]

Not backing your opinion and instead attacking those who oppose your opinion is a sign of extreme weakness.


Opinions don't need backing, they are free.
That you feel owed an explanation without providing any opposition beyond your own opinion is truly a delicious little morsel of hypocrisy.

But you're drunk so whatever.

[Lock Jaw]

Drunkirk

[RP]

I'm talking about Tenet. You're talking about my sobriety. Take it to another thread you moron.

[Lock Jaw]

For the record, harbour no ill-will against RP, just couldn't resist the pun.


The movie Dunkirk.... it looked beautiful, but the actual story was "meh"

[RP]

I mean, the story is based on a true story. It really happened. It was a fantastic movie. I'm not ready to put it above Saving Private Ryan, and i've yet to see 1917 which I hear is amazing, but it was fantastic.

[Lock Jaw]

Yeah, I know it is a true story (and an interesting one). Just the way that it was presented in the movie didn't grip me.

I'd still put Dunkirk above Tenet in my Nolan rankings, though, just for the visuals.

[Seanny One Ball]

I'm talking about Tenet. You're talking about my sobriety. Take it to another thread you moron.


No you're talking about Dunkirk...

[RP]

No you're talking about Dunkirk...

I dont even think you've seen Dunkirk buddy! You have no clue what even happens in the movie. You probably dont even know the history that the movie is based on.

[Seanny One Ball]

Post the one in the middle, the others are just decoys

[RP]

I just bought Dunkirk on Blu Ray to spite you.

[Seanny One Ball]

You ...sure showed me?

[RP]

I bought Hellraiser 3 and 1917 too. Fuck you!

[Seanny One Ball]

I spent £190 on weightlifting equipment.
Can't watch that.

[RP]

I JUST BOUGHT A CUTIES POSTER SO FUKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK YOU SEANNNNY!

[Lock Jaw]

I spent £190 on weightlifting equipment.
Can't watch that.

Did you give all your fat clothes to your fat friends?

Talk to me when you can say that

[Seanny One Ball]

I'm 170lbs...
