It feels dirty talking about Nolan without DR here.

What’s up with the pal & chief verbiage? It’s like I’m in a rural gas station buying snacks.

He seemed a bit flustered when i offered assistance. Weird reaction.

Luckily I have a machine that allows me to move backward through time to see..

Nope.

I mean, your response was pretty patronizing. "Need me to explain it to you, dummy?"

it's a very confusing move and i as i said ive watched it like 6 times was genuinely trying to talk about the movie

I didn’t really find it all that confusing. I’m willing to go along for the ride on a time adventure, I just thought it was poorly written, and executed. It seemed like there just weren’t enough people in the writers or editors room to tell Nolan the truth. Or they were afraid or something. It’s what happens when one guy transcends the process of movie making and becomes more important than the end product. See M Knight Shamalan

Maybe Nolan is some people's Dantonio. Razz

I’d love that, if you’d like but i also used the googles to double check.

In order to watch tenet do I need to watch something else first?

No. It starts out really good, plateaus, then hits a wall at some point and leaves you asking yourself "how is this movie not over?" It's entertaining, but incredibly sterile and devoid of any attempt to make emotional connections. Don't worry about the science stuff because even the scientist who tries to explain the science to the lead says "Don't try to understand it. Feel it." If the lead is off the hook so are you.

So.... what do I need to watch first?

Great book. Dwags you do not. I’d suggest locking in to the movie as it can be a lot to follow

Also, OTPT is over here offfering to explain stuff like he is a physicist. Dude, the movie did not make you a physicist.

BREAKING:

Nolan expected to sever 18-year relationship with WB over its strategy in releasing Tenet.
Maybe working with a new studio will be just what Nolan needs to create a truly unusual movie; something that will leave audiences scratching their heads and thinking, WTF did I just watch?

Where's he going to go? Independent? Disney will do the same thing. Who else is there? Sony, Comcast?

Exactly. At the risk of upsetting DR, it sure seems like Nolan is being a pissy little bitch. Apparently, WB was supposed to ignore the pandemic and conduct business as if this sort of thing happens all the time. Rolling Eyes
