I came to post an image from this scene as well. I see that's been taken care of.

[–] ptz@dubvee.org 18 points 1 month ago

I gotta give the showrunners credit. "Dinner Party" was both the most cringe-inducing episode as well as one of the best of the series. That's really hard to achieve.

You have no idea the physical toll, that three vasectomies have on a person.

[–] rustydrd@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

This image triggers my PTSD.

Got my IMAX ratio TV all ready for it.

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

unlike most conventional film projectors, the film runs horizontally so that the image width can be greater than the width of the film stock.

Nolan could have filmed in any ratio he wanted. Choosing 4:3 is not a technical constraint. He basically chose the opposite of cinemascope.

[–] OtakuAllTheWay@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

It’s the IMAX aspect ratio 1.43:1 to be precise. He just wants to fill the entire screen for the immersion. They still frame the shot as if it’s a 1.85:1 or 2.39:1, for non IMAX theaters, but in IMAX it just doesn’t show black bars on the top and bottom and your entire peripheral vision is filled. Most of the on screen action still happens within that framing in the center.

[–] Hobo@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Watching the Odyssey on the smallest TV you could find on the set Backrooms is really the only way to truly see the film exactly how Nolan originally intended. Unfortunately many of us will have to settle for the profoundly worse experience of going to our local theater or streaming it in our living room.

[–] Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (13 children)

And isn't a tiny screen how Nolan watched the dailies while filming? He certainly didn't have a 50' screen in his trailer on the beach in Greece.

You are watching it exactly how Nolan watched it.

[–] Glemek@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Since it was shot in film he probably watched it on a projector in a theater.

Reminder that he didn't give a fuck about controlling outbreaks of pre vaccine COVID and that he wanted to force people to see Tenet in cinemas.

You know, jam hundreds of people into a closed room for two and a half hours so that you can have super spreader events multiple times a day.

I watched that shit on my phone while sick in bed. Thank you for reminding me that all his films deserve the same treatment.

[–] BananaIsABerry@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 month ago (5 children)

Brother he's a film director not a politician.

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Following a negotiation between Nolan and Warner Bros. executives, the studio arranged for the film to be released in seventy countries, with a run time of 150 minutes, on August 26,[105][106][107] following preview screenings in Australia and South Korea on August 22 and 23.[108][109] The film opened in select cities in the United States on September 3, gradually expanding in the ensuing weeks.[105] On September 4, it was released in China.[110] The lack of available movies afforded it more screens per multiplex than would otherwise have been possible.[111]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenet#Theatrical

them dates are before the vaccine became available. He drove a bargin as hard as he could, to get as many people to see the film as he could.

Yeah, he's not a politican, but neither was Typhoid Mary.

Would be even better if it was mounted above a fireplace

[–] icelimit@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago

I know someone that's done it like so.

[–] scytale@piefed.zip 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Normally I would agree, but if this is a bedroom and they’re lying down, I think the angle works. I actually want to raise my living room TV a bit (it’s on an entertainment stand, not the wall) because when I fully recline my recliner to stretch my legs, I’m looking down too much to be comfortable.

What's the opposite of IMAX?

[–] Curiousfur@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

I've been working my way through it via YouTube Shorts. It honestly doesn't feel as epic as everyone says, to me.

2.5” cones in that tv make it sound amazing. Like listening to it through a tin can I imagine

[–] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 month ago

My nephew only watches movies in a small window on his laptop. I said "wow, you're a real cinephile, huh?". He replied with "yeah if that's a portmanteau of cinema and defile."

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 month ago

Not good enough, he demands people watch this film on a 70mm screen. So get out your GBA SP.

[–] muzzle@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 month ago

You should watch it in vhs.

[–] MidsizedSedan@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

I heard the saying "Watching Interstellar on an Apple Watch". I almost want to get an Apple watch JUST to try it

Good afternoon Sir, we're with r/hometheater and we have a warrant for your arrest

[–] cannedtuna@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

[–] wander1236@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago

Fake, the scene is well lit

[–] blimthepixie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month ago

Too high to be a Travelodge TV surely

[–] nuko147@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (3 children)

What is this shit with IMAX in The Odyssey etc? Can an American explain us?

If they need a new ratio why they don't make it a new standard?

My CRT TV back then was 4:3 but for some reason it was too square for the modern industry..

Calling a little computer that does everything ever a “telephone” is such an incredible move.
