It's an old saw, but I couldn't make out half of Bane's dialogue in TDKR. Perhaps partially a combination of the cinema's sound system and not being able to see his mouth movements, but the mix still has to take the blame for some of it, because I never had any trouble making out what Darth Vader was saying. "Let's make him sound like he's talking through a drainpipe, who could have a problem with that?"

JazzFlight posted:Actually, you're right. When do those bullets appear there? Like, for instance, the bullets in the glass. When they installed the glass, did it already have bullets in it? Or the broken passenger sideview mirror on the car during the chase scene. I spotted it early, figuring it would be "repaired" by crashing into an inverted car later, but when was it broken in the first place? "Nah, we'd have to stop the production line, and I've almost made quota for the day. Just stick it on there, nobody'll notice."

It's all a ploy to drive sales of the book of the script. (It would be funny if the script had lines like "The Protagonist shouts unintelligibly".)

Haven't seen Dunkirk so maybe I'm being wrong and unfair, but it just struck me that Nolan can't do action. I don't mean he can't shoot an eye-popping "here's something you've never seen before" setpiece, like the zero-g hallway in Inception. I mean bread and butter stuff like a gunfight or punch-up. I randomly rewatched Bad Boys on Netflix last night, and even though it's Bay's first movie done on a tight budget, his chases and shootouts have way more energy and excitement than Nolan's equivalents - I'm thinking the "watching someone else play Modern Warfare 2" snow battle from Inception, or the interpretive dance mass brawl from TDKR. They're big and expensive, but... there's nothing visceral about them. They're dispassionate, clinical - all head and no gut, something you observe rather than experience. Nothing I've seen from Tenet so far seems any different.

If being clipped by an inverted bullet would still kill you with Time Radiation, breathing in inverted gunsmoke should be like a lifetime 5000-a-day habit with added plutonium. (And yes, the same would be true of smelling an inverted fart.)

So what would happen if, the first time you approached the turnstile, you got freaked out by the sight of your inverted self reverse-exiting it and decided "gently caress that, I'm not going in there"? Do the time travel rules say that you've already gone through, so there's nothing you can do to prevent it however hard you try - and what does that say about the nature of free will?

The goon who said "things stop existing outside the scene they're in" seems to be bang on the money. Never mind cars being built with broken mirrors or bullets always being in walls otherwise; if someone's killed while they're inverted, how the hell does that work beyond the scene? From the point of view of someone in normal time before the moment of the death, there's a body that defies the laws of causality gradually un-decomposing, every molecule of it as toxic as plutonium and slowly un-working their way through the surrounding ecosystem. How do you get rid of it if you don't have a turnstile? Un-burn it?

Shaocaholica posted:Wait wait wait what if you're inverted and you need to peepee or poopoo? https://youtu.be/36xSrKhCojw I said a while back that thanks to Time Radiation, an inverted fart would be as lethal as an inverted bullet if someone was unlucky enough to smell it.

Pulcinella posted:It gets even weirder and pure magic when the two states interact. Actually I guess it’s less weird because it’s the only way it makes sense. Why would anyone install a glass window with what looks like bullet holes? Why aren’t people weirded out about bodies spontaneously in-decomposing, lying on the ground for weeks at a time, before a bullet flies out of their head?

I know my first thought if I was presented with time-gently caress technology would be "can I cause a paradox?", and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Probably why I'm not being recruited for the Time Police.

Euphoriaphone posted:Nolan is particularly bad when it comes to editing car chases The same guy did a similar analysis of a chase from Salt, which is a middling thriller but I thought did a good job with the action (as in: it's exciting, has a clear sense of geography, and you're never in any doubt as to what's happening), and it was good to see I'm not the only person who thought so.

My big problem with Tenet is that it's just not exciting. At all. Big-budget action is happening, real 747s are being crashed, mass battles are going on with time-fuckery causing buildings to explode and implode... and it's just utterly loving inert, all energy drained from it. Turns out "What if we do an action scene, but then do it again backwards?  " isn't the mind-blowing trick Nolan thought it would be.
