David : When you think about how cool a plane crashing into a terminal could be ...
FBI : Ahh yes! Welcome to the list.
A hour in to the pod cast and still unsure why I shouldn't go with my parents
Three vaguely savvy people were this confused. Statistically, the demographic of "parents" is a set of people likely to understand less than they did.
I appreciate the no spoilers for the first few minutes since I still can't go and see it
Yeah I think for new movies this is the best path. Some people don't have the time to see a movie right away. Or they have a deadly plague going on and can't go. Older movies they could probably do a rating and then spoiler warning.
@@davidcurrie6093 yaaa the issue though is then RUclips sees a bunch of people not watching our video the whole way through :(
@@TheyreJustMovies That's a fair point, didn't really think of that. Only other thing I could think would be posting your scores and taglines somewhere else besides RUclips (Insta or Twitter) alongside a link to the vid, but then that might not invite viewership if you already got the scores.
@@davidcurrie6093 It's not a plague son it's a friggin pandemic smh
@@TheyreJustMovies Now that's it's available we can listen to the podcast all the way through
Honesty I wish the movie was recorded in 60 fps. Realize Nolan wouldn't but the extra hypothetical smoothness could make things feel more slick
42:14 There snipers in the building so each team had to destroy it (Red team blows it up first so blue team sees it reassembling and has to blow it up again).
As someone who watched inception 8 times. Interstellar 5 times. Dark night 3 times. Dunkirk 2 times. I’m planing to watch tennet 10 times.......
You've already watched it ten times :)
It just hasn't happened yet
Tenet was great
@@chrishoward6864 It will be great
Its more entertaining to watch youtube essays on Tenet than it is to watch Tenet.
John David Washington is still phenomenal he needs to be better used in movies outside of this one.
i hate "theatre energy" honestly. im very much a sit down and shut up kind of viewer.
Curious how you feel about concerts
@@madeofdrew I feel like they're different things.
best to get a home theater then
@@madeofdrew Ive never really understood concerts personally. You pay money to have a bunch of people with phones in your way. I remember back in high school everyone was obsessed with Warped Tour but every year the only stories you would hear would be how so an so passed out from heat exhaustion or so and so got MRSA from going. I saw ACDC and while its cool to say that, the whole time all i could think was "wow theres a lot of smoke in here" and "im really really far away" lol.
@@redhammer92 well you see, back in olden times 14 years ago, smartphones weren't really a thing. So there were no phones in front of you.
However I also don't enjoy concerts, always preferred to be at home with a CD, or now Spotify.
Watched it on a Dolby screen an Odeon cinema in the UK and the mix was exactly as James is describing. Audio levels were way below other audio, making some important dialogue hard to hear. This was pretty much my only gripe with this film though.
9/10
"Audio levels were way below other audio"?
@@MrOjeeeee I'm assuming he meant to say "dialogue levels were way below other audio"
UK douche bags
Saw it in Dolby and the audio was awful, then saw it in IMAX and the audio was much better
Saw it in a standard theater here (live in small town) and everything was like it should be.
Such a bummer having the experience tainted for you though :/
That scene with the thumbs up to the speed boat wasn't a random boat. Protagonist wanted to escort the mother to the husbands yacht, but the husband's goons wouldn't let him ride in the speedboat with them, so he drove his own speedboat to escort the mother. This made the goons boat ride to shore a wasted trip and they seemed mad, and he was giving them a thumbs up to piss them off more.
I would love to see a 2.0 of this where this same crew rewatches it later(maybe even with subtitles on) and then they see what they think of it after the second viewing, like James was saying. I definitely agree with pretty much all the negatives that have already been said though, especially that: The audio mixing was terrible to the point of missing lots of very important information in a movie that is already very difficult to follow for most people, and Kat's inability to think about literally anything other than her son was such bad writing to the point that it became hilarious almost every time she said anything about him.
I would love this. It took a second rewatch for me to figure out a LOT of the stuff going on.
Much agree. I scrolled down to the comments to say "I hope you redo this when you understand the movie."
A significant portion of David's criticisms are based on misunderstandings. I'm not doing that stupid thing that sort of started with Inception where people go "no, you hate it because you're stupid and don't get it whereas I love it because I do get it because I'm so smart." I'm just saying that David (well, primarily David) makes several logically valid points based on factually inaccurate premises ... admittedly because 2-3 other problems with the movie prevented him from understanding everything in a single un-pause-able viewing.
Sarah finally rocking a LTT water bottle... Noice.
Lol Linus told them they had to have LTT water bottles, I think they mentioned it in the last podcast (or the one before that)
@@raodio I gotta respect the hustle; I've never wanted to buy a water bottle more but I refuse to because then LINUS WINS AND THE ADVERTISING WORKED ON MY REPTILE BRAIN. >:(
darklsn haahahahahahaah
I think you rock clothes you wear, but not water bottles.
there is a LTT bottle there but she drinks out of a cup behind it........... lol
1:22:10 You can see Neil wasn't inverted in the opera house when he walked away. He was just using inverted bullets.
( 19:22 ) I think the brake pedal scene can be explained with cruise control, but the braking that the car does is way harder than just engine braking.
I too had the same wtf reaction when I saw it though.
( 20:20 ) Also he clearly uses a long tubular shaped charge to blast the hinges of the safe, there wouldn't need to be that much pressure.. also the "enclosed metal space" has a huge hole on the ceiling. And he's standing behind some kind of door thing which would dissipate pressure as well.
Yet again though, I also had the same wtf reaction when seeing it.
( 42:31 ) I think the point of the building explosion was to show that the blue teams debrief caused the red team to time the shot, they show a blue wrist watch and a red wrist watch both at 5 minutes which would be the half point of the 10 minutes the mission takes, thus the same moment in time.
( 55:56 ) Inspiration for the opera scene was the Dubrovka theater hostage crisis from 2002 and the word 'opera' on the sator square. ( 1:24:42 ) Also the opera knock out gas is a big part of that.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moscow_theater_hostage_crisis
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sator_Square
I feel like the movie is a nod to Primer, but suffers from the fact that the backwards time mechanics don't and can't really work and ends up being a lot of empty hand waving.
They could've taken the gimmick a lot further by looping the protagonist back multiple times so he becomes a literal one man army or something.
@1:21:10-“Why do you think the Algorithm is in nine pieces?” Because, as Priya explains to the Protagonist in Oslo, the future scientist who invented it rebelled and took measures to prevent it from ever being used. She broke it up, and hid the pieces in the most secure times and places she knew of-present day nuclear containment facilities. There are nine nuclear powers in the world (US, Russia, UK, France, China, India, Pakistan, Israel, and North Korea), so she chose to break up the Algorithm into nine pieces and hide one piece in each country to make it as difficult as possible for anyone in her past *or* her future to reassemble it. The problem is, there are people in her past *and* in her future who are working in concert to defeat her plan. The only thing that can stop them is TENET.
Well explained. I'm a year late, but hey... The genius of Nolan is, using such an old and worn out effect as rewind effect in a time travel film to such a great and realistic result. Inception AND Tenet if reshaped could be THE best Bond films thus far, yet Nolan said he's got something special in mind for a Bond of his own, i can't even imagine what could be better then those 2 films, wow.
My cinema had seating the way David was saying you could sit in groups and there was an algorithm that put 2 meters worth of seats between all the groups
1:02 "It was lovely. I'm super into that. Like, there's a lot of things about COVID that I really like." David out of context 😅
Big brain David just knows everything I guess. OH I KNEW IT WAS OBVIOUSLY HIM FIGHTING HIMSELF ok relax mr 140IQ. Easy to say that after you seen the movie
I would love if you did a follow up after a 2nd viewing! If not, that's fine, but if you do decide to see it again it would be great.
You guys really did get a bunch of things wrong, and most of plot holes or mistakes or inconsistencies that you mention aren’t actually that. At least you admit it might be cause you missed it. And I didn’t get everything at first too. But I tried to go check online for the answers. You should’ve done the same before ranting for an hour about mistakes that are actually not mistakes. Go check the subreddit, nice hub for info
Was looking for a comment like this. Really annoyed me how the just insulted the concepts they didn't understand
The aspect of the "willpower" is misleading, because it's not like you would have been able to will anything different. From the perspective of the inverted bullet, the protagonist was able to "suck" it to his hand because from the bullet's perspective, its "past" already had the protagonist holding it in his hand before dropping it. Same thing with the bullet holes in the glass during the first time the two protagonists were fighting: the normal one couldn't remove the bullet holes before the inverted protagonist came out because that sequence would have nullified events in the inverted protagonist's "past".
Also, about the building. Since they were in inverted time, I believe, the normal sequence (non-inverted) would have seen the building blow up from the bottom, but given that you can use inverted material, my guess is that an inverted missile of sorts hit the top of the building as the explosion from the bottom was reversing itself.
In the kitchen fight scene the protagonist punches someone at some point. That person is then trying to walk back to recover but during that you get a shot filmed from the back of the protagonist where he's just walking kinda relaxed and following the desperately trying to flee man. Then the protagonist absolutely obliterates him with a powerful kick and that was a moment for me like: "wow this man actually is a fucking amazing fighter and he is able to handle whatever everyone sends his way". It was just so badass
Yo David, do u know theres an easter egg on the memento DVD that plays the movie in chronological order. Its bananas. Youll have to google how to find it. Its something along the lines of starting the movie when a certain logo appears on the title screen
sometimes James begins talking about stuff, then takes a moment to think and conclude what he is saying. I always find myself fearing what he might say.
what are you afraid of?
@@TheyreJustMovies I'm not saying that my fear is justified, yet I can't avoid to feel somewhat anxious whenever James has some take, or interpretation, on the theme of a given movie or other stuff (mostly things related to social, racial, or political issues).
Now, to be clear, I don't fear him saying something cruel, careless, or out of touch. Instead, I worry about the things he says being misunderstood, or taken out of context. And, to be honest, I feel like James do worries about the same thing.
However, it wasn't a complain or anything like that, I just love the podcast and enjoy James' opinions. It would suck to have him cancelled or shit after something he says.
"Don't take your parents to see this"?
They won't be able to hear the dialogue because the sound has apparently been mixed by a FUCKING RAVE DJ.
40:45 "The Nolan Touch" - forgot to include the terrible sound mixing.
Nolan shouldn't have made this movie. The implications of a world where entropy can be inverted are far to complex to put into a movie. I think that is the reason why the world he is trying to creat felt so inconsistent to me.
Tenet was kind of an odd one. I generally really like Nolan movies. The prestige is probably in my top ten favorite movies and Inception was really good, and Dunkirk surprised me that I liked it. This was just missing something for me. I could hear all the dialog, although it was uncomfortably low. Somethimg just didn't feel as cohesive as most of his movies, and then John David Washington kinda threw me cause I could hear some of his dad in his voice, but he didn't quite have his dads charisma in my opinion. Overall the whole me was just fine, and it's a well made movie for the most part, but I won't be watching it again anytime soon.
God damn... whoever is making the thumbnails must have it out for Sarah. They seriously pick the worst, most non-representative photos of her. Don't @me because there is no way she's "just not that photogenic". Haha
Man, just watched the Movie a 2nd time and I was so hopeful for this podcast but, with all the criticism/whats-up-with-that-thing throughout the whole movie, I'm quite disappointed in this episode. It's sad to see that you guys made the same point people all over IMDB etc. made after just 1 viewing of the movie. I really enjoyed your episode on Inception, and I really wished you guys would have gone through 2-3 viewings of the movie before you did this because I believe you guys would have gone so much deeper into some of the things that this movie deals with - Sator Square, why they exploded that same building twice, and so many more.
I'm hopeful that you guys will read this comment and maybe do a sequel to this podcast after multiple viewings of the movie and bring in Riley instead of Sarah (she didn't contribute much to this particular episode) and go deeper into some of the themes that the movie tackles.
They literally said they maybe would do a sequel to this episode, after re-watching the movie, lol.
@@chakalol1 I really hope they do.
Inception wasn't confusing when it came out.
James Whale when it comes to myself, I agree. But when it comes to my brother, best friend and mother, they all needed a second watch to understand what was the point of the mission.
You're not impressing anybody.
edit: lol, this was made fun of on Rick and Morty about how nerds will say it wasn't confusing to try to impress people.
I didn't even know about this channel until David mentioned it in the LG Nanocell video
Well there's a lot of movies and podcast episode for you to binge 😉
Poor Sarah; her name will always be the butt of everyone’s jokes
i'm sure she'll never heared that before......
Ronnie Heuveltje nope she heard it here first 😂
Why? What’s the joke?
Explain, I’m confused
Eddie Long oh... her last name is literally Butt... RIP
Even I had a problem with audio so did almost everyone who I went with. Its wasnt an IMAX theatre..it was just normal Regal..Music was nice with heavy bass and everything but the I had difficulty hearing the voice especially with many wearing masks in the movie. Glad to see it was not just me. Many complained during interstellar too but i dismissed it that time caz it was alright for me..but I think nolan messed it up this time
Watched it in IMAX in the UK and the audio was awful. It was by far the loudest film I’ve ever heard to the point that it was front row rock concert loud and even painful. Dialogue was completely lost. I’ll wait for 4K blu-ray and hope for a good atmos mix.
Apparently that audio problem is mostly related to the IMAX version of the film.
We did not watch in IMAX
@@TheyreJustMovies hmm, guess it is Nolan's fault. I guess I'll just watch the movie when it comes out on streaming platforms.
@@paPerPranath i got the same problem on some scene but i was not in a IMAX theater
@@paPerPranath Just search for Tenet and Sound on Twitter and you'll get a shit ton of people complaining about it. It's very much an intentional thing and Nolan has talked about it in the past. Problem is when it makes the experience worse.
I watched the movie in analog 70mm (as edited by Nolan). Same audio problem as with the digital copies.
1:13:33 David's not wrong that it's theoretically worse to be hit by the back of a bullet (although idk if it would actually be noticeably more painful), but when the point is made in the movie that it's bad to be hurt by an inverted bullet - that's the radiation or something from two materials with reverse polarity interacting violently. That's why they invert Kat for a week and take her to the inverter in the warehouse and John ends up fighting himself.
Damn. I'm really glad my first exposure to this movie was on Blu-ray (subtitles on, of course lol).
But like every Nolan movie, I have to watch it a dozen times.
The whole point of them sending Mom to interact with Omnicide Dad is to stall him until they can gain control of the thing his OPC device ("operator presence control," a usually-better alternative to "dead man's switch") activates. Mom "reveals to protagonist" that she knew he'd do his job, just within a narrower window than he would have liked.
Oh shit! English isn't my first language but i've been living in Liverpool for the last 3 years (So i've been exposed to extreme levels of scouse accent, pretty freaking thick accent),
but man.
This movie was so hard to listen to, i swear i got only 50% of the dialogues on my first watch and around 60% on my second. Happy to hear it's not my fault.
Loved the concept and execution of the movie tho.
Hope we get an audio remix when the BD drops. :D
At 42:00 you asked about the building getting demolished twice. I think that the assumption of the spec ops is that the fortress holds both reverse soldiers and normal soldiers. That means that the only way to ensure the destruction of all soldiers in that one building is to destroy it in both time directions. So the first rocket hits the top of the building and the second rocket hits the bottom of the building to give no chance of surviving the collapse of the building in either time direction.
Also, at 45:20 when you're talking about the 747 crash, I feel like it's one of the more realistic aspects of the movie. The characters literally plan the crash to be believable as a mistake rather than a terror threat, and its only function is to create a big enough breach to trigger the gas. If the explosion were to be bigger, then I feel like it would've been Michael Bay levels of unnecessary, and would've been very out of place. This even if you go beyond the context.
I will say that in my opinion, I think 7.9 is the fairest score out of the three y'all offered up. I think the movie does a decent job of keeping you from noticing any plot holes, but like you all mentioned, it leans heavily into the protagonist meta. Also, like y'all said; there's absolutely no reason Kat should've felt sure that the Protagonist would "defuse" the bomb. Originally I also thought it was an unbelievable moment because of the sudden retaliation and revenge, but she already gained the confidence once to do it in the sailing scene which meant there was character development that would've led to her feeling more capable of murdering him (although again she gives into her emotions rather than thinking logically, which is actually a pattern started by the sale of the fake).
Overall, though, I'm glad I didn't have to think through this movie alone. I look forward to the next movie I need help wrapping my head around. Y'all are the bomb
@38:16 @David It's not will power, it's the propagation of event instantaneously in time, once the choice it made it effects all time. We only think it's will because we see time as linear. A movie example is 'Arrival' the aliens cannot see the future, it's just that they understand how to see time. David voices his opinions like he knows best and it some authority you don't know everything.
Speaking perfect english I still always use subs on movies, but instead of having to accept no subs in the cinema like you I have to live with swedish subs which isn't that great either.
I didn’t watch through the spoiler section, but I felt like Keaton from Birdman as I was watching this review. There’s nothing about story, characters, themes here, just a bunch of complaining for technical issues caused by the theater (because just as many people claim they heard everything fine, including friends of mine), all calumniating to “this movie sucks”. Audiences are like “we don’t want to be treated like children, we want deep and complex movies that challenge us”, then Nolan spends two or three years of his life to do just that, only to realize he’s far smarter than the people who claim to want movies of that level.
Silent dialogue with loud explosions... sounds like the walking dead experience for me
Both Inception and Tenet if reshaped would be THE best Bond films thus far, so Nolan saying he's got something special up his sleeve for his own Bond, makes me curious. What the fuck can he think of next.
Well Nolan basically gave it away within the first 5 minutes: Don't think too much about it 🤷😁
Nolan movies require subtitles
Thought that was Sub Zero in the thumbnail for a second.
MaximiLIEN.
That's a reach
Same missed about 20%
a comment to support the channel
Guy with red beard, 'im not a christopher nolan fan' - 30 minutes later 'i expect more from christopher nolan'?. Maybe just stick to your generic james bond movies.
A $200m spy and time travel movie with absolutely zero character arc/development. Style over substance. And it's the intention of Nolan to give minimal info of the protagonist. The lead has no name and is called 'the protagonist'. It's too much.
Anyway, how is 'Inception' a bad movie? lol
Have to admit that the penny didn't fully drop, only when they said ***spoiler alert*** that Neil died.
Yes!!!! Saw it in Dolby theater the sound was WACK
From what I got from this movie is it's a really shitty time travel movie with all the tropes that make a Christopher Nolan movie crappy.
One of the things I picked up on was that entire ideas in the movie were inverted. In the opening scene, Protagonist is a CIA shooter that is being utilized by Tenet for mission to retrieve an object that he doesn't recognize or understand. By the midpoint of the movie, he is acting under Tenet and using other intelligence operatives to pull of heists on objectives that they don't necessarily understand.
This is part of why I was let down that we didn't revisit the opera for the closing sequence. Also, the opera sequence seemed to be somewhat inspired by the real life Moscow Theater Hostage Crisis of 2002, especially due to the use of gas, and that pulled me in right away; I didn't know anything about the movie and I assumed that Protagonist's team was going to time travel around to various IRL events to try and blend in while achieving shady objectives, like Black Ops Dr. Who or something.
Tenet, it was to easy to predict...and so many plot holes.It is trying to be something its so apparantly not.
And they give the movie away IN THE MOVIE....
4/10
48:27 what’s done is done though, they don’t break that rule. Literally the moment the movie starts, everything is defined and set in stone, what happened will happen.
58:35 Who is John working for at the opera house and why? He's employed by the US government, the CIA IIRC. It might just be a CIA operation with two Ukrainian CIA contractors, or multiple US organizations working together, or an international thing. It's even possible, though unlikely, that part of Ukraine's government is "in on" John's operation (I mean, only a small number of people in a handful of agencies would be) because they're aware that some or all of the Ukrainian SWAT-equivalent responders are actually private Russians posing as local KORD - seemingly all of the KORD responders are fakes, unless some are real and they've been convinced to help them sedate and explode a lot of random Ukrainian opera-goers?
But 99% of the people involved in or aware of that mission are uninvolved in Tenet or anything. The US's side of that situation might have developed with no involvement by anyone aware of the "time war," or a lot of meddling by Tenet. The guy they attempted to rescue had a second goal, not just "get the thing we assume is nuclear materials." A few things that secondary goal might have been include:
- to infiltrate Sator's organization
- "normal" CIA stuff
- something meaningless and futile based on a lie about conventional nuclear weapons fed to the CIA by Tenet
- something meaningless and futile based on intel the CIA gathered from associates or business partners Sator has lied to or told partial truths to
What mic do you guys use?
tenet does suck.
Dialogue getting lost in the mix OMG! This takes me back to "Apocalypse Now" when everybody was complaining about the exact same thing!
Relistening to this one was a bit rough. At the original release time I mostly agreed with the criticism because I didn't understand the film very well but after watching the movie multiple times now, I really like it. David was way too harsh and I think he would benefit from a rewatch.
49:00 No one said "the ultimate protection," but either the clothes are more than sufficient protection, or irrelevant because it's not about what we consider physical contact and the actual critical distance for explosive (or w/e) paradoxes is way more than the thickness of clothing.
An atom coming in contact with itself in that way, like John touching his previous self (specifically like an anime moment where both of him run and punch at each other and their knuckles connect, or one headbutts the other in the forehead instead of the nose region, or they kiss), is a paradox that MIGHT destroy both of him, or create a black hole that absorbs the solar system or something.
So clothes are no protection if he was wearing the same clothes when he met himself and they wrestle and their chests touch or something.
Or the atom just have to be within a certain distance of its other self to start causing problems, and that distance might be 9 cm or 1.3 km or the width of our solar system. So David might be right that clothes don't help, but then it has nothing to do with touch, whether or not clothes are in between.
Its nonsensical because usually his brother Jonathan Nolan is the head writer. He's half the "Nolan Magic". Guess Christopher isn't so great when left to writing by himself.
This movie was terrible. 3/10. You have the temporal pincers attack on no enemies. Rematch the scene and tell me how many enemies you see. Then the "willing" things that were inverted to affect them was thrown out the window almost immediately. They should have just let it be things that exists and you could use them as warnings that something is going to happen. The time skips are horrendous and inconsistent. There should've been time stamps so you get a better structure of the events. Then there's the conversations that you have no idea when/what/who they are talking about. And how is he getting so far on his own??? Terrible movie.
So glad to see Sarah from LTT on camera, except she didn't say too much...but loved that side profile. ;)
I do agree with the low ratings and shit audio mix on this movie - was same second time round for me as well.
Robert Pattinson in The Devil All the Time along with Tom Holland was awesome ♥️♥️♥️
1:12:35 The gold bars and whether or not they're inverted aren't super relevant to anything, but yes, the gold bars Omnicide Dad originally found as a teenager and the gold bars that arrive on the boat are all inverted as they've been sent from the future to him. ..."And then it's not inverted..?" No, it still is, but if there were some continuity error that indicates it's suddenly not inverted anymore for no reason, that would just be a continuity error, bad editing or whatever, not a conceptual flaw with Nolan's writing or something.
i'm glad at least James chosen the right score 9/10
Don't touch yourself or you'll implode is straight out of "Time Cop"
Touching yourself and exploding is just a concept they took from puberty
19:22 that is not thought of????.........dude that is the scene that has literally the best explanation because he is driving a car in reverse and that needs the car to be in reverse gear that is why he had to just touch the brake
and missiling the building normally and in reverse is needed because that building contains troops that are reverse and normal. if building is down normally, the reverse troops will come alive. if the building is down in reverse then the normal troops start attacking the protagonist group literally from a building that just made itself from dust
I watched it 3 times to try to like this movie. I like Nolan but I just can't get into this one. The climax fight was such a let down. It was two nameless faceless forces shooting off screen at each other. I don't believe they ever show the two forces on the same shot. The part where the person gets sucked into the wall was sweet. The car chase was pretty meh as well.
I recently read an article by an epidemiologist and they said that going to any environment that is air-conditioned is a massive risk as the germ carrying particulates are just being recirculated AND most AC units are above you so the particles are pretty much landing on us.
So, I'll pass on theatres this year.
If Nolan watched this podcast he would pull his hair out
How I explain this movie is that you will be confused the whole fucking movie right until the lask 25% of it
I thought the movie was going to end at the theater scene as well.
My favorite line from a review of Tenet is "Any awe is flattened by follow-up questions."
Did anyone get that they gave it a palindrome name to fit the theme of forwards and back? TENET spelled the same forwards and back, like RACECAR
Oh, and before this film I saw the _Dune_ trailer trailer.
Totally agree with the dialogue stuff. Luckily watched bluray and turned subs on 5 minutes into the thing.
It's not Nolan's fault, he did it on purpose.
i need to find your dunkirk review...so i can s*** on it in its comment box...oh i'm unemployed btw...
The voices where really bad, but on the other hand the bass was really good, the shots in the hallway in the beginning really had some gravity (as they should).
Dude is talking about Dunkirk sound mixing and has no idea that it won 2 Oscars for Mixing & Editing.
My man on the left likes the full-of-holes-Dunkirk but not Inception?!
As someone who loads planes with freight for a living that plane was woefully underloaded.
If I have to turn the movie up and down to not wake up my girl I just turn it off, not worth the hassle
Would have liked to hear more from Sarah.
I was waiting the whole movie for a reveal that Robert Pattison was actually Kat's son.
The thesis of the film is the morality of future humanity deciding to sacrifice the past for prosperity and viceverca.
Why don't you guys find another guy for this podcast who likes to dominate the conversation as much as David but has a different taste to him? I feel like every time David just wants to impose his opinion by portraying him as being smarter than the others. He obviously has a taste of movies and it's okay to have that but his opinions often end up overshadowing others'.
Then it isn't the three movie fanatics driving to work together talking about movies anymore, is it? :).
as soon as i heard 'inverted entropy', i was off........worst Nolan so far....a mess

It doesn't make sense to me now, but in the moment of the movie, I thought they were doing that as a follow-on to the "not here" at the dinner table. The movie did these "sneaky people" tropes a lot, such as "A safety vest and a clipboard will get you almost anywhere" which is something I remember being a spy trope decades ago.
1:13:42 - When the scientist brought it up initially, I thought it was the fact that the flatter side of the bullet would moving through a body at speeds it normally could not at that orientation, but once Kat was shot, they specifically mentioned the immense radioactivity as a factor; this was why it was so important to invert the wound as surgery wouldn't keep radiation from ravaging the body.
