I think The Warner Brothers / HBO fallout (as well as the meagre returns from Tenet) will give him a total a market correction.
He's low key being blamed for the complete crash in the theaters because they opened up too early, and now (maybe as a result) the entire slate of WB's 2021 releases are going to HBO Max. Kind of wild that he's been a huge ticket for Warner Brothers and they've really stabbed him in the back but the reality, is that everyone is watching stuff at home and he needs to get with it.
I love him and his work but i can't believe someone with so much influence could be so willfully arrogant to assume that their film is more important than a global health crisis.
Not seen Tenet yet but it feels like the headline is that it's okay but hard to get into, slightly derivative of other work and essentially a bit bloated as a result of a man with too much power.
I was digging into Steven Sodebergh's career this weekend and he's been ahead of the curve with movies for TV / streamers etc and generally using the medium as a way to experiment with getting things to people. Similarly with Fincher and Netflix. Even the Coen brothers say that their work only really reached a broad audience because of VHS....
- You're kinda wrong. Nolan doesn't compromise. He actually bought and destroyed the airplane in the movie. Not his fault the distribution was in a pandemic year.grafician
- also the movie is a solid 8/10. It's really not a low IQ movie by any standards like anything comic books based.grafician
- I haven't seen Tenet. But, imagine if Dunkirk had not been released in theatre. You would make the movie ENTIRELY differently if it wasn't going to be in cinemanb
- Another movie that shares this is Gravity. Ever watch Gravity at home? It's boring and derivative. But in 3D IMAX it's super fun. Like a space ride!nb
- also keep in mind that the "cinema" is THE medium, streaming on the internet is just a bonus...grafician
- Nolan is completed overrated and full of himself and Inception 2 blows ass.utopian
- I don't think he feels his movie is "more important" than a health crisis. But it's art that he wants people to see in the right way, regardless of profits.nb
- I'm talking to DaveO not nb btwgrafician
- @nb well watch the film first and have an opinion about it later will you?grafician
- Yes, I will have an opinion laternb
- I know he doesn't compromise but i feel like it was unethical for WB to release a movie that heralded the reopening of theaters at a time when its unsafe.DaveO
- On the other side of the house Apple/ Netflix offered to buy the bond movie for $500M and the studio said no.DaveO
- Since having kids i find it REALLY difficult to get out and watch movies even in a normal time, so paying to watch stuff at home is all there is.DaveO
- To be honest if Apple released the new bond movie on Christmas day I'd happily pay $40 to watch itDaveO
