Looks like you’re defending Nolan going woke and meeting the diversity quota just so he can get his first Oscar?

I haven't defended the movie. Just pointing out that you're an idiot who thinks LOTR was too complicated. And Nolan has an Oscar. More than one actually

Tired of people saying she a trans man. There’s no such thing. She’s just a woke confused woman that mutilated her body

Nolan is a spectacular filmmaker. His films do not “bomb”

People just make up increasingly crazy stuff about this movie because they are desperate for it to be true so they can rant about it online

The rumors about this movie are enough for me to hold off on this movie until all of the rumors are confirmed to be false.
I just think the rumors are funny because I think a lot of them (or all of them) were just completely made.

And if it wasn’t made up by them, it pretty clear that there is a group of people who haven’t gotten popular for their anti-woke content, but are now audience captured, so they actually NEED wokeness because they benefit from it to the point they’ll just straight manufacture it. They’re like anti-racists who became popular, influential, etc. and now they need racism so they can take their anti-racist position that they’ve benefited from. And they’ll manufacture it if they need to.

In this case, while Nolan is obviously left or center, he’s definitely more of your classical liberal type who values a lot of things conservative value like tradition (practical effects, film instead of digital, traditional theatrical releases windows, etc), family, order (but not at the trade off of liberty), history, etc. He doesn’t even own a smart phone.

Anyways, it’s why on social media you’ll see a lot of commies and progressives who criticize him, and right now you can see it’s coming from both sides, when it’s likely to just be a normie interpretation accessible to the masses and people will have to conjecture up reasons to be outraged, beyond just substantive issues related to the film itself and the adaptation.

Which is extra weird considering it's not even his natural accent.

99% certain Page is Achillies and Lupita Nyong’o will be Hellen - the face that launched a thousand ships.


It's not making any money.

Define the threshold for making money

You can use gross total box office, net (gross total box office - reported production costs) profit, or some % above reported production costs.

I don't think this movie will be good but I imagine it has a pretty sizeable profit.

Nolan is clearly just doing the thing where filmmakers go bonkers after their biggest success. I imagine his next movie won't be so off the wall/bad.

Chadamemnon should have informed all of you this was going to happen.

Once again:



There is no defense of that

Profit. That’s generally what the term making money means.

But then again, as long as it looks pretty, I guess people might show up. Look at Avatar, virtually no impact on the cultural landscape yet it’s raked in a ton of money itself.
