Nolanhack's Next Flick
What a regressive way to view art.Retskrad wrote: ↑September 10th, 2021, 11:11 amTenet got:
- 'B' CinemaScore, which is his lowest since The Prestige
3.4/5 score on Letterboxd
7.4/10 score on IMDB
70% critic and 76% audience rating on RT
These numbers clearly show people don't view Tenet as a great movie - they see it as merely good or above average. When David Fincher, Scorsese, Tarantino or Paul Thomas Anderson make a new film, people expect greatness from them. Not simply good. There's no way around it - Tenet was a misfire. Let's see if Nolan has learned from his mistakes.

This must be a bit. It's not like Fincher, Scorsese, Tarantino, or PTA haven't made movies that got around (or even less than) 70% on rottentomatoes. These online metrics have no bearing on how people feel about a work of art...they are aggregates. The Russo brothers have a higher average across their filmography according to these sights than Terrence Malick...these things are useless and a determent to film criticism and film culture.Retskrad wrote: ↑September 10th, 2021, 11:11 amTenet got:

That's fairRetskrad wrote: ↑September 10th, 2021, 6:27 amJennifer Lame did an excellent job with the action set pieces but I bet she knew the movie make absolutely no sense on a first viewing but couldn’t do anything about it. She didn’t have the clout to drastically change the script. All that to say, Nolan needs Lee Smith back because he seems to listen to him.
Is it though? A bunch of conjecture is what it is.El Especial wrote: ↑September 10th, 2021, 7:16 pmThat's fairRetskrad wrote: ↑September 10th, 2021, 6:27 amJennifer Lame did an excellent job with the action set pieces but I bet she knew the movie make absolutely no sense on a first viewing but couldn’t do anything about it.

Just the part I quoted. It's possible Ms. Lame saw the flaws in the film but chose to keep her thoughts to herself. Being that this was her first time working with Chris NolanA Borges man wrote: ↑September 10th, 2021, 7:42 pmIs it though?

What a gross comment. Not only is it demeaning to Jennifer Lame, but it’s also willfully ignorant of what her duties are as an editor. In no such way does “clout” or being scared or whatever garbage have to do with anything. If something didn’t work in her eyes, she’d be the worst editor in the business to not tell the director what she’s seeing. You don’t get to that level in the industry by being feeble or stupid.

While it's not impossible, it's basically still the same thing as Borges said: conjectures.El Especial wrote: ↑September 10th, 2021, 7:51 pmJust the part I quoted.

Anyway, this is deviating from talking about Nolan's next movie to Tenet. Let's go back to it than paying attention to someone who maybe feels like some sort of holder of truth.
