Re: The Motion Picture Arts Thread
If it's any consolation, a lot of worldwide theaters will still be closed. New Zealand's going to be feeling pretty smug, though.

Re: The Motion Picture Arts Thread
When the theaters around here opened for Tenet, the AMC was charging $15 a matinee, $18 standard
Ridiculous
I know a lot of people who are like, screw 'em

Re: The Motion Picture Arts Thread
I wonder if Tenet is any good. I've heard no one talk about its content at all, which is weird what with it being like the highest-profile movie of the year and all.

Doug has seen it.
I really want to, but no way in hell am I going to a theater right now. I miss theaters.
Pour like Hemingway's last call.
Re: The Motion Picture Arts Thread
I did shell out the $15 and it's good, it's a lot of fun, not quite as good as Inception but then some crazy visual stuff that I definitely want to watch over and over once I can own it

Definitely want to go to the theater, when they're not trying to rip me off, and I'm going to make it a point to go to the cinema grill the next time I'm in Orlando

Re: The Motion Picture Arts Thread
oo i should watch it tonight since my kids are having a sleep over at my mom's
Re: The Motion Picture Arts Thread
Yeah there's some wild stuff
I'd say there are two kinds of wild stuff in Tenet, without spoiling anything
1) There's the obvious stuff like people moving backward in the same shot as other people moving forward, or even people moving backward interacting with people moving forward
2) There's the not-so-obvious stuff that I won't spoil, the fun ramifications of the technology that you don't think of at first

I love "Real Genius," but I want to point out that in real life, the prank that they play would in no way lead to the shutdown of the defense program

Re: The Motion Picture Arts Thread
I think it's more about comeuppance to a dick than enacting actual structural change.
I also love it, but the heroes are pretty holier-than-thou considering how lucky they are that their "superpowerful laser through the middle of campus" prank didn't kill anyone.

Re: The Motion Picture Arts Thread
That hardly looks like a power cord that is going to supply power to a 5 MW laser

Re: The Motion Picture Arts Thread
it turns out rylinks keeps giving us bad diet advice because he wants us to be fat and slow so he can get us with his laser
Re: The Motion Picture Arts Thread
and he wants us not to go to school so we underestimate how powerful his laser really is

Bring on the kung-fu amputees - no arms vs. no legs anyone? A bit of high-speed underground ninja-tunneling is always good as well. I wanna see some shit like that. Crazy monks with gnarly special powers can make any film good. FACT.
Re: The Motion Picture Arts Thread
I watched Brittney Runs a Marathon and it was not very good but what bothered me (other than the stupid way they handled the climax during the race) is that they said she ran a 3:50 which I'm quite sure would have been impossible for the person in the movie. However, they did show a picture of the woman the movie was based on in the credits, and that was definitely someone who could have ran a 3:50. The whole race really made me lose focus though since nothing was adding up.

Like, I wouldn't say it's very good, but it really made me feel something (the impact that her changes had on her relationships, and the way she attacked her friends for trying to help).haplo wrote: ↑Fri Nov 27, 2020 2:23 am I watched Brittney Runs a Marathon and it was not very good but what bothered me (other than the stupid way they handled the climax during the race) is that they said she ran a 3:50 which I'm quite sure would have been impossible for the person in the movie.

But they couldn't make that the whole movie, so we get a boring love plot, a boring race, and boring "self-improvement porn" (is she gonna stuff that muffin????)
Re: The Motion Picture Arts Thread
So the HBO streaming app is going to be releasing big movies simultaneously with the theaters. I knew they were doing this for WW84 but they're doing it for all of 2021.
