Re: Oppenheimer - Awards Speculation

My advice is to remember the Oscars are nothing more and nothing less than an expression of a single voting body's taste at a given point in time, heavily influenced by prevailing trends inside the industry at that moment. They are neither irrelevant nor that important. Nolan, like the majority of f...

Re: Oppenheimer - Awards Speculation

Most likely nominations across the board, most likely to win is probably RDJ or Ludwig. Nolan for adapted screenplay is possible. Director is also possible but less so. BP (win) is extremely unlikely. Truthfully, I don't see this winning much unless studios follow through with cratering the fall re...

Re: Oppenheimer - General Information

I thought Brody retired? Anyways he is the definitive example of a pompous, pretentious critic that people loathe. Nah, Brody rules. Rarely agree with a thing he says, but few are as knowledgable or thoughtful in what they have to say. I think he's completely right, for instance, that Nolan's films...

Re: Oppenheimer - IMAX locations and info thread

70mm showings in Chicago are practically sold out through the weekend, it's insane.

Re: Box Office

One of the bigger ironies is that Oppenheimer and Barbie would make an abysmal double feature. I haven't seen Barbie yet, but they're both designed, very much I think, to be experienced in a vacuum. It's been almost 24 hours and I still haven't come down from Oppenheimer. I would recommend people sp...

Re: Oppenheimer - Early Reactions

Where do you rank it in Nolan’s filmography? Also, is RDJ’s overly hyped or does he really give a Oscar tier performance? Thanks can’t wait to watch it Sunday ! All the leads are excellent, including RDJ. It's possibly his best. I won't be surprised if all three earn nominations. Not sure where I'd...

Re: Hoyte van Hoytema's Cinematography

Any reactions on the cinematography? I saw the film twice: 2K digital and 35mm film. Hoyte`s work is AMAZING here. It remind me of The Master in color and Good Nights and Good Luck in B&W. This is bang-on. It's Dunkirk meets The Master for the color sequences. Astounding work on the whole, Hoyte ha...

Re: Oppenheimer - Early Reactions

Don't know where to put my own reaction but Oppenheimer is fucking incredible and easily one of Nolan's best.

Re: Oppenheimer - Early Reactions

I don’t want to hit the spoiler but is it positive or negative It is very positive; I personally don't think there's anything spoilery in it, but YMMV. I mean, it's a confirmation of the structure of the movie––something Nolan intentionally wanted to keep secret. You're correct YMMV on how much we ...
