Tenet sucked. Hope he returns to form. 

It’s hard to imagine the same director made some of my favorite movies ever (Batman begins, dark knight, the prestige, interstellar) and one of the worst movies I’ve seen (Tenet). No idea what to expect from him anymore.

I haven't seen Tenet yet but I enjoyed Dunkirk after I watched it the second time. 

I'm hopeful for this.

I’ve seen Tenet three times and it’s been better each time. But it’s certainly way too confusing for it’s own good.

i watched it on a plane. it was worse than most of his stuff but better than ambien. 

Tenet is what happens when you make a movie that’s sole point is to have as confusing of a plot line as possible.  He started there and worked backwards.

I saw it half in the bag in a big empty theater.  To say I was impressively confused is an understatement.  I was impressed anyway.

Cilian is the lead? Take my money. 

Trailer needs more I am become death. 

I saw the trailer, but looks like the studio is not keen on views right now. The cast has quality folk and I've got it on my list of upcoming movies but it's almost a year out apparently.

Our friend in Santa Fe was an extra during one of the courtroom scenes in this film. I never knew there was that much film production in the area. He gets lots of calls for extra work. He's too busy being retired. Csb

Edit: He also said Robert Downey Jr was very folksy with everyone between takes.

aw man,

I liked Tenet.

actually maybe i just really liked the score and pattinson grew on me... 

This and Ridley Scott’s Napoleon with Joaquin Phoenix are the two big biopics I’m looking forward to next year.

I will watch it, but you can't cover Napoleon's life in a movie.  Someone needs to do a Napoleonic War series.

This happened a couple of days ago

Secretary Granholm Statement on DOE Order Vacating 1954 Atomic Energy Commission Decision In the Matter of J. Robert Oppenheimer

Quote

As a successor agency to the Atomic Energy Commission, the Department of Energy has been entrusted with the responsibility to correct the historical record and honor Dr. Oppenheimer’s profound contributions to our national defense and the scientific enterprise at large. Today, I am pleased to announce the Department of Energy has vacated the Atomic Energy Commission’s 1954 decision In the Matter of J. Robert Oppenheimer.

Believe this focuses on his rise to power and relationship with Josephine

Same.  I'll happily watch it but I would kill for HBO or Apple to get their hands on the story of his life and do a 3 year run. 

it's got a monster cast, so it makes sense that the teaser is mostly close-ups of murphy's face.

Definitely watching this. Thankful the trailer doesn't give much of anything away like it should be. 

Looks like in one scene in it they're working on the demon core or one similar to it. The story of the demon core is pretty interesting, highlighting the hubris of man no matter how intelligent he may be.

Should do well here, can’t go wrong with Cillian Murphy. I expect it’ll bomb in Japan though.

Twice?

I've read several books on the Trinity Project and Oppenheimer and I've repeatedly thought, "Why hasn't anyone made a movie about this?"  

There were numerous people working on the bomb who felt that there was a decent chance that they'd set the atmosphere on fire when were doing the test.  "This is the most important thing to happen in the history of the world" is not a hyperbole line.

This really looks amazing/epic.  Didn't think they could take a story about a scientist and make it that epic, but Nolan.

What are the chances we won't be able to hear or understand half of the dialgoue in this movie?!

This is a great book on the subject

I absolutely HAD to watch “Peaky Blinders” with subtitles.  I’d have been lost otherwise.

I guess I should have said, "Why hasn't anyone made a good movie about this?"

This one is a classic.

And if you are a nuclear weapon historical geek, his sequel is a good read (although it's a bit heavier on the scientific side):

saw this preview as well as one for MI: Dead Reckoning a couple weeks ago when we saw The Covenant. made me excited about upcoming summer movies for the first time post-covid!

also, saw this today so this hits close to home.
