Ok, so now we need Interstellar on a pregnancy test or microwave screen.
We know they play Doom, and someone has likely played the Bad Apple video on one too, as is customary on all things with displays, so I guess they can play Interstellar too.
We need someone to figure out the minimal number of bits which need to be flipped to change an Interstellar rip into Doom gameplay footage.
But can Interstellar play within Doom?
TARS and CASE could make it happen.
The movie in the picture you're replying to is Tenet, FYI.
Thanks, Big Ben!
I watched Iron Man in the plane from my ipod!
with the volume off
Loud music coming from the radio in the next room
VOLVER VOLVER
AAAAH AH AH AH
How dare you use subtitles? Nolan intended for the dialogue to be so badly recorded and mixed that you can’t understand a damn thing. Those godawful fight scenes and terrible choreography? It was meant to be there! Those shitty mistakes and errors left on the screen add flavour!
I was a movie theatre projectionist when that movie came out.
It was miserable - people complained about the mixing, and it also blew out our speakers in a couple of auditoriums.
And the ending is such a weird stupid ass pull. It’s reminds me of Bioshock Infinite - physics is magic that we can to deus ex machina our way out of this half thought out plot.

I watched Tenet on my phone in bed with breaks, because he thought it would be worth risking lives during the pandemic to force it to be shown in movie theaters.
Not as good as watching camrip on phone.
So happy this genre has gone away
It has not.
Dub or subbed?
Doesn't matter, there's no audio anyway
The audio is just a constant staccato of air tools.
I can smell it
That, or is full volume but you can't hear anything anyway because they're also a radio blasting rancheras, dogs barking, tools sounds, people screaming...
It uses a line in for the video. It seems like a real desperation mover (or just showing off) to have the cable uncomfortably dangling from your wrist to the tuner. Still a cool idea for the time, though.
Interestingly, this is possible without anything else today. It works totally different today than it did at that time, but the end result is the same: video on your watch. I'm always amazed by how tech moves. As a kid, I wondered how nice it would be if I had a device on me that did everything and I could even turn the lights off with it. I'm actually able to do that today.

I highly agree. It's as impressive as a proof of concept and achievement as it is functionally useless. It's 100% Seiko flexing its capabilities at the time.
My focus here, however, is that I believe it's the worst way to watch Interstellar.
The pneumatic screw-drivers really add to the soundtrack!
I'm in a Mexican,
tire shop.
ba-dum dum dum
I'm in a Mexican, woah-ohhhh, tire shop...
I see McConaughey,
on the tee vee,
don't understand just WHAT DOES HE SEE?
[that's all I got]
Fixed:
I watched Fight Club telecine rip with watermarks on a 21" tube television in a bar in Tenerife.
This makes me wonder if filmmakers cringe when they see their work on tiny screens anywhere on an airplane.
The true way to watch James Cameron's Avatar is in the corner of a subway surfers montage.
pushing random tires out of their racks to spell "I love you" or some shit
I could see a full onion article with this premise.
'full' 'article'
Can anyone explain why this post is funny to me? I don't know much about Interstellar.
Because Christopher Nolan is famous for making dialogue inaudible and then saying that the reason people can't hear it is because the film was supposed to be viewed in a high end cinema with a full surround sound system
Chris Nolan films are story-weak and make up for it with flashy visual and audio effects that are designed for showing in ultra high res cinema environments. Watching the film in probably 28fps on a tiny screen washed out by sunlight and single source audio intermittently drowned out by the sound of a ratlle gun makes most of those fancy effects pointless.
Pfft, it's not even a CRT!
