I no longer do it, as my theater went digital three years ago, but an acquaintance of mine in Australia who is still in the industry put up this pic of all his Nolan films. You can see how much drastically shorter this film is when compared to his others.

Not usually into these types of movies (at least what it appears to be from the trailer) but of course if it's Christopher Nolan I'll have to see it.

Me neither. In fact, I'm sick of WWII films period—unless there's something done with a different angle like Valkyrie or The Man in the High Tower.

Except that's a fantasy, created by the more than brilliant Philip K. Dick.
I just hope that Blade Runner 2 surpasses the original. At least Ridley isn't directing it, as he's lost his mind recently. The "Alien" films have been stupid and predictable. |

The sheer volume of a WWII prop plane is insanely loud, to the point where I don't know how those pilots could think. Being blown off the deck into the ocean, while your lungs are filling with sea water, not knowing what happened, is terrifying. Maybe his movie will have some resonance, but who knows... |

That's a pretty tall order. I'd be happy if the new Blade Runner is half what the original is, which would make it far better than most of the crap that's coming out lately.

I haven't seen The Arrival, which seems to polarize audiences, but my hope is that Villeneuve can pull it off. Otherwise, why go there? (And of course the answer is money, but still). I may be in the minority and of course, it wouldn't have happened without the original films, but if Blade Runner 2 is Rogue One, I'd be beyond thrilled. |

He's one of my favorite directors but yeah, I lost interest in the Alien movies after the first. One is enough. As to the Man in the High Tower, yeah it's fantasy but it provides the kinda twist I am looking for on that era. Hacksaw Ridge as well, even though it's based on a true story. |

Every veteran I have talked to is deaf as hell. I have forgotten to put my hearing protection on when shooting a few times, and wow it sucked. I can't imagine that x 1000000 for years. |

You mean to say that point was up for debate? Which part? The destruction of the environment? Fidget spinners? Letting children starve and die for lack of food and medicine? The Man Bun? The murdering of each other for money or sex or because we believe in a different Invisible Man In The Sky? Jets and Broncos fans? How many more examples are needed?
