Re: 'Oppenheimer' Nolanfans User Reviews

which is your #1 from him? Man, that's a tricky one, because so many of them have their own unique strengths. To me, Interstellar (my personal favorite) and Dunkirk are the two unimpeachable masterpieces (and the more I think about Oppenheimer the more I'm starting to think it'll wind up alongside ...

Re: 'Oppenheimer' Nolanfans User Reviews

My experience with Oppenheimer has been similar to Interstellar - the first viewing was so overwhelming that I had to see it a second time to fully unpack it. Basically all of the issues I had the first time went away and I was able to just let it wash over me. I'm still not sure if I think it's hi...

Re: Box Office

Very good Monday number. It has been tracking pretty similar to Inception's daily percentages, starting with last Saturday compared to "true" Friday which excludes the Thursday preview money. https://i.ibb.co/DLjm9B7/2023-07-25-12-05-26.jpg Just did some quick bullshit math for funzies and averaged...

Re: Box Office

I don't trust much in this tracking numbers but... https://twitter.com/BoxOffice/status/1681764223737647104?s=20 I genuinely can’t see a world where Oppenheimer opens with a cent above $55 million, which is already pushing it for an R-rated three hour adult drama, regardless of the names attached t...

Re: 'Oppenheimer' Nolanfans User Reviews

I just lost a huge fucking post I wrote because of server issues and I'm pissed... so, sorry, if this is going to be shorter... I'm genuinely angry right now :D Long story short: I left the theatre somewhat disappointed, because I felt the "final act" was much, much less effective than what has com...

Re: 'Oppenheimer' Nolanfans User Reviews

Saw it on regular 70mm. I don't even know how to categorize my initial reaction. It was powerful, the Trinity test was unreal, the narrative trickery seemed somewhat unnecessary to me at times, the final thirty seconds have made me feel wildly depressed, I walked out of the theater shaking, and I ab...

Re: Soundtrack: Göransson Returns

I really do hope all the music - both the more suspense-leaning stuff as well as the melancholically epic stuff - heard across all the trailers and featurettes are part of the official score. I live in Oklahoma, and the thought of hauling ass down some gravel roads with endless open fields all aroun...

Re: Oppenheimer - General Information

Universal: “Look, this is already a three hour story shot with expensive cameras about a genuinely depressing and horrific chapter of American history. Please tell me there’s nothing else that will make this a harder sell than it already is.” Nolan: “It will be rated R.” Universal: “For war violence...
