Tenet (Christopher Nolan, September 3, 2020) Movie • Page 39

If not sarcastic above - Ben Mekler routinely uses the fact that he has a check mark to write ridiculous, obviously fake reviews when the social media impressions deluge begins, to basically expose the laziness of those round up articles. They’re usually hilarious.

Yeah, Ben Mekler is a basically a critic troll.

No one who wants to see Tenet cares about the % on RT anyway so it’s whatever.

 

I also can’t believe it’s true that characters refer to each other as “protagonist” and “antagonist” with a straight face throughout the film.

 

I’ve seen people describe this as Nolan going full Hideo Kojima and that can either make or break the movie for you

 

lol fuck

 

After Death Stranding I’m convinced Kojima is actually an absolute fucking idiot so that’s not a promising comparison for me.

 

Haha, sorry, I hadn’t come across him and was caught out there!

 

Yeah. Pretentious af

 

Pretty common in sci-fi/comics. Better than the "unnamed" trope, or Hero. Wouldn't call it pretentious.

 

Alright, maybe "unnecessarily ballsy" would be better, at least for a blockbuster.

 

"antagonist" is definitely not common and is pretentious. it's more understandable for "protagonist" but both is pretty lame lol.

 

Can’t wait to see what happens with the “Conflicted Anti-hero Baddie Guy” character.

 

so like five of the cast members

 

And that’s their characters names, too

 

"Anti-" is my favorite Tom Hardy performance

 

Picked up a ticket for this with Regal Unlimited after doing a theater test-run today. Absolute ghost town. May re-assess if it gets busier, but if I’m one of four people in the theater, I have no problem masking up. Way safer than the grocery store full of maskless morons.

 

yeah...that's def not going to be the case when new blockbusters are coming out.

 

Cost me nothing to reserve it at the kiosk. If I walk in and it’s stupid busy, I‘ll leave.

 

Yeah I got a ticket for 9/1. The theater had huge spaces blocked out in the Fandango app where people were not allowed to buy seats. I’m gonna go in and see if they really stuck by that and stay if they did.

I also had COVID already so I’m hoping I still have antibodies.

 

the debate for Nolan has been is he the smartest dumb guy or dumbest smart guy in Hollywood. Kojima fits that description as well in gaming

 

Forgot how much I hate The Discourse around any Nolan release.

 

I hate that movie theatres are opening

 

It’s too bad his name isn’t Nolon. Imagine the marketing potential.

Saw a theory that there's some inspiration from a SATOR/ROTAS square

S A T O R
A R E P O
T E N E T
O P E R A
R O T A S

The square is composed of 5 latin words and is mirrored horizontally and vertically, in addition to forming palendromes diagonally
