I know it's him, but all these things are very easy to buy: https://www.worldofreel.com/blog/2022/12/vyrk3t133djqioj11xdc8yo81bq1bg Security hearing used to tell the story and jump through the timeline.

The unholy secret about both Knives Out movies is that they're actually terrible murder mysteries but extremely fun suspense-thriller-comedies with colorful characters that the cast can have a ball portraying. Once you make that mental adjustment, you'll probably enjoy them more. Rian's entire caree...

Oppenheimer's trailer stats are gonna be hard to parse out because it was promoted as an ad it seems. Inflates the stats. I think Barbie will do well. Oppenheimer should still do well too, though after how poorly dramas have fared this year, I'm a bit less confident Yeah. At first I was really impr...

Agree with both of you. I guess it was just bound to happen even more after Tenet. Some people are coming with the idea that Tenet marked the last we'll see of Nolan's name trying to pull audiences to the theater and whatnot. It’s mostly a thing with detractors, haters, trolls, cynics, etc. I think...

Can't wait to see more. I agree with Vader that it is a rather uplifting tone (even with the more sinist...

Not being facetious but why are going to avoid trailers and footage going forward? This is based on a true story, there are no spoilers. I just like to go in as fresh as possible. There's a million ways to tell a story, so it's nice to discover the way a movie looks, feels and unfolds opening night...

Anyone know the significance of the fish bowl full of marbles? I think its a visual metaphor for a criticality experiment, where you place some highly radioactive material in an unsulating/encapsulating container, and the particles cant escape, increasing reactivity, and potentially reaching critic...

I stand by my comments that the trailer (primarily due to the music choice) gives it a really strange "uplifting" vibe, but the footage itself is spectacular. I love the warmer, dynamic palate that's almost a hybrid between Pfister era Nolan and Hoyte's style. Teddy mentioned to me privately some of...
