I've been told that's an accurate representation of Jessica Chastain's vagina.

Yes, but he over-edits. I can think of numerous examples where cuts actually interfere with what he seems to be going for. For example, when Mann uses his booster-jet-pack-thingers to move up/down, the camera doesn't let us see the action in one shot, but two or three. It's unnecessary, and actually cuts off our view from seeing the cool effect.

Yeah, that's something I wish Nolan would try to improve on.

I've found that using an IMAX camera actually prevents him from doing that. The fight scenes in TDKR are great examples; you have slightly longer takes of action than you normally would in a Nolan film.

It could very well just be a problem with the theaters cranking everything to 11 for no good reason. Part of me wants to see this movie as much as possible on the big screen, but part of me also can't wait to see it on Blu-ray so I have control over the sound instead of some 15 year old moron in the projection room.

Projectionist here, all IMAX theaters have to keep the volume at a certain preset level, determined by the people at IMAX. We're not allowed to increase or decrease it at all. Also, not sure if it's the same nationwide, but in California, you have to be 18 to be in the projection booth.

Got the novelization (first time ever for me to buy one of those!) but not the screenplay yet. So far (I'm about 1/3 into it) all the dialogue is in the novelization.
