Exactly. Quoting the carefully-constructed words of an AT&T lapdog concerned only with the stock price is disingenuous cherry-picking. Especially in light of Mr. Villeneuve's bombshell essay condemning the move: https://variety.com/2020/film/news/dune-denis-villeneuve-blasts-warner-bros-1234851270/...

This shit is the lick

Mangrove is what The Trial of the Chicago 7 thought it was

I have been force-fed the trailer for this so many times over the past few months that I actually went from 'couldn't care less if it ever comes out' to 'hold on, I'm excited for this' lol

The power of repeated exposure marketing. It truly does work.

I still can't get over the fact that the 'The Plan' bits that are sprinkled in throughout the film (when the Protag first appears, when he gets on the fire truck ladder, etc.) that I absolutely love, were a last-minute addition lol Like, if the pandemic didn't happen and the film released on time, w...

I do not agree with the attack on Protag's character. IMO he is the purest good-guy hero that Mr. Nolan has ever written. Two examples off the top of my head: SWAT: It's not our mission! Protag: It's mine now. Protag: I wanted to be on the first wave. [...] Ives: You want to be on the team that retr...

Love the film (as everyone probably knows) but I agree that if it receives zero noms I would be completely fine with that

Here's another super-long, in-depth article on the AT&T-WB situation that doesn't mention 'Nolan' or 'Tenet' even once : Inside AT&T’s WarnerMedia as it dismantles the old Time Warner to battle Netflix https://www.cnbc.com/2020/12/04/att-dismantles-time-warner-to-battle-netflix-the-inside-story.html...

Obviously if Tenet had done fantastic, AT&T would have been forced to back off and continue let WB do its thing, and everything would be all roses. But, and don't quote me on this, I'm pretty sure that Tenet lost less money than Mulan, which pre-pandemic-wise would have been the bigger grosser. Now,...

If WB was still its own entity, I 100% guarantee you that it would have shrugged off Tenet's gross as an acceptable loss, and continued on with theatrical-first releases. Tenet underperforming is a tangent. The real reason that this is happening is that AT&T owns WB now, and AT&T execs don't have th...
