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.
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.
Anyone who says his Batman movies are perfect, need to go back and watch the fight choreography on screen and accept that the Batman voice is absurd. I mean tdk is a great movie, but it’s a comic book movie that’s ashamed of the source material and tries to make it “real” to compensate
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.
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.
When one of my good friends lost his mother, to help distract him, I enlarged this soft porn imagine of a woman in pirate gear showing what she's got. I blew it up to poster size or something, and then I printed it on a regular printer (along with a picture of a penis at approximately the right size and angle). I think that gave me 15ish individual pictures? I mixed them up and mailed him one per day, saving the goods for last, with the fakeout penis second to last.
I think he had a good chuckle. It was still on his wall months later when I went to visit him.
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.

Ok, so now we need Interstellar on a pregnancy test or microwave screen.

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.

I dunno, someone could figure out how to watch it by mail.

Are you reinventing Netflix, or are you suggesting someone might watch a movie through mailed pictures one frame at a time?
dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 1y
Mailed pictures. Individually. Worse than a tiny moving picture, and nowhere near as convenient as a book.
