Solid joke. Took me a second to
Good afternoon Sir, we're with r/hometheater and we have a warrant for your arrest
ahem c/hometheater here
My nephew only watches movies in a small window on his laptop. I said "wow, you're a real cinephile, huh?". He replied with "yeah if that's a portmanteau of cinema and defile."
You should watch it in vhs.
I heard the saying "Watching Interstellar on an Apple Watch". I almost want to get an Apple watch JUST to try it
What is this shit with IMAX in The Odyssey etc? Can an American explain us?
If they need a new ratio why they don't make it a new standard?
My CRT TV back then was 4:3 but for some reason it was too square for the modern industry..
First off theres like 4 different versions of IMAX I'm not gonna get into the nitty gritty of each one and just talk about the relevant one. "True" IMAX is a proprietary film standard that needs a specific projector, screen, film, and theater size to be properly displayed. The projectors are no longer manufactured and there are an extremely limited amount of true IMAX theaters in the world like double digits limited. The big draw for IMAX for someone like Nolan and viewers is how much detail on a massive screen you can get. As to why they dont make a new standard theres a meme you can search for that summarizes when you make a new "better" standard it just becomes a standard. 16:9 is afaik a middle ground standard that most industries have settled on. Aspect ratios are a complicated topic with a lot of subjective expression especially in the world of cinema. In my opinion the outrage is a nothing burger cinema is art if Nolan wants to display it a certain way its his prerogative if someone feels that it diminishes the experience for them imo just dont watch it. They can also complain its none of my business what people do I just find it a bit ridiculous to complain about.
the most common type of IMAX nowadays is "just" running two 4k laser digital projectors, overlapping eachother so you get double the pixel density, at a much better contrast, and at 60fps.
Unfortunatly, that's still less than half the resolution of the "old" 70mm horizontal film projector. But it gets rid of the absurd arc-lamp they have in the film projectors, which would be the envy of ww2 searchlight operators.
I've been working my way through it via YouTube Shorts. It honestly doesn't feel as epic as everyone says, to me.
I think I've watched the entire thing once, but it was a struggle to get through it. So boring.
I think these movies are hyped by the media and people are just following what's popular. But yeah, I have seen many who say this movie is the best they have ever seen. I'm actually shocked by that, but sure. They also liked Oppenheimer which I still haven't been able to get through.
And they also liked Gravity, which was absolutely ridiculous. George Clooney was a clown in that one.
Different strokes for different folks. I actually liked Oppenheimer and have watched it once or twice at home after seeing the Barbenheimer double feature in the cinema. At the same time, I could see how you might find it boring. I just really like slow burn movies and shows
It doesn't stand up to other Nolan films and the casting is shit, my opinion is to watch Project Hail Mary if you haven't and rewatch if you did saw it
I'm in a similar boat in I don't think it was Nolan's best work (at least, not my favorite of his works), but I don't see where you're coming from about the casting. Care to elaborate?
The extreme ends of the casting are "too many black people" and "too many white people" so I guess it boils down to not enough Greek people
I know you're not making those arguments, you're just relaying what you've seen elsewhere, but I sure do hate to see them being made because they're always in bad faith. On the one hand, they claim to want 'historical accuracy' as if the movie was trying to be a documentary or something, while simultaneously ignoring the historical fact that different peoples have been moving around and intermingling with other peoples since the dawn of civilization. They want to have their (racist) cake and eat it too all under the disguise of "just trying to be accurate". Also, let's be real here, as much as celebrity culture can be (and is) a problem in some cases, they are all professional actors, this is their job and most of them are pretty good at it. And if Nolan was forced to cast only native Greek people, not only would that create its own discrimination, but far fewer people would see the movie because there simply aren't as many familiar faces. Sorry for the rant, I know you personally weren't making any of those points, I just needed to vent
Got my IMAX ratio TV all ready for it.
unlike most conventional film projectors, the film runs horizontally so that the image width can be greater than the width of the film stock.
Nolan could have filmed in any ratio he wanted. Choosing 4:3 is not a technical constraint. He basically chose the opposite of cinemascope.
It’s the IMAX aspect ratio 1.43:1 to be precise. He just wants to fill the entire screen for the immersion. They still frame the shot as if it’s a 1.85:1 or 2.39:1, for non IMAX theaters, but in IMAX it just doesn’t show black bars on the top and bottom and you get more information and your entire peripheral vision is filled. Most of the on screen action still happens within that framing in the center.
A lot of people in the room? You need more space? *moves TV 2 inches* Voila. Right into the wall.
I came to post an image from this scene as well. I see that's been taken care of.
I gotta give the showrunners credit. "Dinner Party" was both the most cringe-inducing episode as well as one of the best of the series. That's really hard to achieve.
Snip snap snip snap
You have no idea the physical toll, that three vasectomies have on a person.

Reminder that he didn't give a fuck about controlling outbreaks of pre vaccine COVID and that he wanted to force people to see Tenet in cinemas.
You know, jam hundreds of people into a closed room for two and a half hours so that you can have super spreader events multiple times a day.
I watched that shit on my phone while sick in bed. Thank you for reminding me that all his films deserve the same treatment.
Brother he's a film director not a politician.
Following a negotiation between Nolan and Warner Bros. executives, the studio arranged for the film to be released in seventy countries, with a run time of 150 minutes, on August 26,[105][106][107] following preview screenings in Australia and South Korea on August 22 and 23.[108][109] The film opened in select cities in the United States on September 3, gradually expanding in the ensuing weeks.[105] On September 4, it was released in China.[110] The lack of available movies afforded it more screens per multiplex than would otherwise have been possible.[111]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenet#Theatrical
them dates are before the vaccine became available. He drove a bargin as hard as he could, to get as many people to see the film as he could.
Yeah, he's not a politican, but neither was Typhoid Mary.

So I wanted to see Odyssey on IMAX, but apparently its out in Japan on 11.9.
Like two months from now! Why?
Nolan would strangle this person with a strip of 70mm film if he saw this poat
Watching the Odyssey on the smallest TV you could find on the set Backrooms is really the only way to truly see the film exactly how Nolan originally intended. Unfortunately many of us will have to settle for the profoundly worse experience of going to our local theater or streaming it in our living room.

2.5” cones in that tv make it sound amazing. Like listening to it through a tin can I imagine
