Good. Those freeloading social media influencers can just go away already. Buy Pepsi.

I can't wait to watch this and have no idea what is happening thanks to another terrible sound mix.

[-] LodeMike@lemmy.today 5 points 7 hours ago

And because Christopher Nolan assumes everyone knows what he knew about the events. He sucks at nonfiction.

[-] gwl 13 points 7 hours ago

You know it's not based in actual events right?

The Odyssey is a fiction novel.

Unsure if joking, yeah, it's a fiction.

It's the famous one with the witch that turns people into animals, and the Cyclops that Oddyseus tells his name is "Nobody"

[-] SnotFlickerman 65 points 17 hours ago

Nolan's kind of a dick for a lot of reasons but this is the right fucking move.

[-] BarbecueCowboy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 17 hours ago

Maybe... But letting less people see it early is what you do when you think your movie is going to suck. Alternately, when you think "The people won't understand your art".

Influencers are unlikely to pass harsh judgment in cases like this because they think that their fancy business trips are a reward and they don’t want to miss on the next ones. Their opinions are worthless.

No, influencer screenings preempting professional reviewers are what you do when you want to artificially generate hype from undiscriminating fans. The article I don't think you read even points this out almost immediately:

The move bucks the trend of studios getting ahead of professional reviews by inviting fan-site bloggers and influencers to see major releases in advance and then letting them post (often highly enthusiastic) mini reviews on social media.

[-] SnotFlickerman 27 points 17 hours ago

That's a fair take, he may be doing it for the wrong reasons... but I'm just on a "fuck all influencers" bandwagon and always have been, so stopped clock and all that.

I am sure there will be some great writing and acting in the movie, but we will never know because it will be drowned out by the "score"

I am sure the cinematography will be great, but I will be too busy reading the subtitles.

[-] ieGod@lemmy.zip 5 points 9 hours ago

🤣

From what I recall the in-cinema viewings were all nicely calibrated, and my home theater setup similarly performs well enough. Maybe I've got rose tinted glasses. Time to rewatch a few.

[-] SapphironZA@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 hours ago

Its also the nature of the background noise he uses. It has no subtlety at all.

[-] triptrapper@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

Valid point about the score - most of his movies have music playing constantly - but I've watched all his movies and the writing is always pretty bad.

[-] SapphironZA@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 hours ago

I would not know 😂

[-] SnotFlickerman 1 points 5 hours ago

His brother wrote the iconic line from his second Batman movie

"You either die a hero or live long enough to become a villain"

Word has it that Christopher Nolan didn't even really understand the line. Which doesn't shock me since his writing is so bad.

[-] qwestjest78@lemmy.ca 3 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

I hope it's not like Tenet. I like his movies, but that one was very rough. Even Robert Pattinson had no idea what was going on.

[-] harrison_fnord@reddthat.com 1 points 48 minutes ago

I mean tenet is great. If you watch it repeatedly on a big screen with toned down audio.

One of my favorites. I hated it in cinema.

[-] Eternal192@anarchist.nexus 7 points 16 hours ago

Don't really care it's going to be shit one way or another.

[-] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 18 points 15 hours ago

Yes because Christopher Nolan is known for being a terrible director who never makes good movies at all. 😂

I swear to god you edge cases are so goddamn stupid it's not even funny.

[-] applebusch 4 points 12 hours ago

he is known for being terrible at sound balancing and being an elitist douche about it. whether you can say that it makes an otherwise good movie bad, well thats hard to say.

[-] Eternal192@anarchist.nexus 4 points 14 hours ago

I'm not saying he's a bad director, i'm saying THIS one is going to be shit you fucking moron!

[-] sidebro@lemmy.zip 8 points 14 hours ago

There's no way for you to know that.

Watch before deciding, always.
