Re: Box Office

I'm not sure there's anything to learn. Nolan is a very popular filmmaker. You can't replicate that sort of phenomenon. Whether there's anything to learn, studios are going to see this and do something in response. We're already seeing it with the response to Barbie triggering some kind of Mattel c...

Re: Box Office

https://twitter.com/ldbahr/status/1704145362200474102?s=46&t=SuITIQbtvMicMKAwU2SSug Love the optimism but ultimately the box office success is moreso due to Nolan’s name and the meme rather than some kind of grand statement about how audiences want real film again.

Re: Hoyte van Hoytema's Cinematography

Re: Hoyte van Hoytema's Cinematography

Hoyte having such an engineering brain (Chris`s own words) is the main reason on why i see him working with Chris until the end of their careers, also they seem to have such similar sensibilities, when Chris tells the story of showing Wages of fear before shooting Dunkirk, and the crew seeming real...

Batman Begins Why is Oppenheimer that low? I think that since a lot of the film ultimately consists o...

Re: Oppenheimer - Awards Speculation

Considering Dune has been delayed, I feel more confident about it winning best cinematography and visual effects now.
