Well, I'm basically locked in with the ice storm today, so maybe I'll fire this up.

After thinking about this film for a few days, the main thing that sticks with me, outside of the amazing visuals and because JDW is always awesome, is the performance of Robert Pattinson.
I'd never seen him in any movie, ever. All I really knew of the guy was tabloid nonsense and dopey werewolf films that spawned that beast by the name of Kristen Stewart. I didn't think he could "act" because all anyone talked about were his looks and the tabloid shit. And he never really got any substantial and meaty roles, so I had no idea what to expect. Well mother**** me, he was ****ing outstanding! That dude should be the next Bond, not Tom Hardy. He had that quiet confidence that makes "attractive" men on film, like a Sean Connery, cool as ****. He's also got the height and physicality for the role. If Hayden Christensen had been half as cool, the Prequels would have been the greatest movies ever to me. |

The scenario somewhat reminds me of Leonardo Dicaprio after his role in Titanic. He was the national heartthrob to the point of annoyance... but as time went by, he came into his own with new roles. |

As I mentioned some time ago in a related thread, Christopher Nolan is done with Warners.
https://www.wsj.com/articles/want-to...es-11611247554 After spending years as a top Warner Bros. director, Christopher Nolan, who wrote and directed last year’s “Tenet,” is unlikely to return to the studio with his next project, in part because he was disappointed with the studio’s hybrid distribution strategy for 2021, according to people familiar with the matter. |

Nolan believes in the "Cinematic Experience" and does not like the new Warner's model of releasing directly to HBO Max and to theaters simultaneously.
He won't have any problem setting up shop with a different studio. |

I am watching tenet. I am big fan of Nolan's work. This movie is decent but the music over important dialogue is really distracting, and annoying.

I loved Inception and the Batman movies. Hell, I'm even a fan of Interstellar. Many didn't care for it but I thought it was brilliant.

I finally revisited Tenet... and I'm glad I did! Once I understood what was going on and had that "ahha! lightbulb" moment, the movie really pulled me in.
Nolan's dialogue still annoys me at times... especially on parts where people are speaking through oxygen masks. Yes, I love realism and the attention to detail, but with really loud sound effects, it's hard as hell to hear some of the dialogue you "think" you need to hear. In the end, some missed dialogue isn't a killer... and I am sure I will go back and watch this movie again just to pick up on some things I missed. (Much like Inception which is one of my fav movies of all time) So... in conclusion: another bravo to Nolan for putting a smile on my face and forcing me to think about the movie AFTER it's over. |

Nothing against the son of Denzel but he and Pattison should have switched roles.
