Christopher Nolan says he'll wait at least three years before next film
The bar is truly so low for public figures being trans accepting that I found myself genuinely getting a bit emotional listening to Christopher Nolan use the correct name and pronouns for Elliot Page and describe how nice it was to reconnect with him after doing Inception together
i was similarly moved by the role elliot plays in the movie. i really loved it
Reminder that the Left gets Chris Nolan in the divorce and the Right gets Uwe Boll.
It’s nice when people are nice. I like that behavior a lot
We're that desperate for human decency, its rough out here
Elliot was awesome in this.
I remember logging on when he came out and everyone was gushing about Elliot Page, and I was like "Who's Elliot Page?" This guy?
We literally just want people to be normal about us. Literally just treat us like any other queer acquaintance you don't really understand. We are not here to be understood by you, we're just here to live our lives, eat good food and die, like anybody else.
Yup. I was pleasantly surprised that his character was so pivotal in Nolan's story, despite limited screen time—& Elliot Page NAILED IT w/his performance. It SHOULDN'T be remarkable that Nolan gave a trans actor such an important role (and CN didn't fuck it up) but in this environment, it sadly is.
This is a bit of a walk, and it IS related to the reskeet... But is Christopher Nolan a Hank Hill?
‘THE ODYSSEY’ has officially opened with $264.1M worldwide. • Biggest opening for a live-action movie in 2026 so far • 2nd biggest opening ever for a Christopher Nolan film • 3rd biggest opening ever for an R-rated film
This should be enough juice to catapult us straight to Woke 3
I love seeing the silence of grifters and elon from this. They can all suck it.
I didn't like the film but it's obvious a lot of folk put a lot of work into it. I'm glad it's been good for them.
Well deserved it really was a brilliant film
but there are brown people and trans men in minute roles :( :( :( laughing at incels aside this was a great movie and i'm tempted to see it again.
And with a 3 hour runtime it's already handicapped with 30% fewer showings. MAGA is losing their shit. They find the most lame things to be pissed off about.
REMINDER: Social Media (especially if the algorithm is controlled by someone with an ideological bias) is not real life. Take away the followers and this is all you get
I know everyone is laughing at the chuds who couldn’t have been more wrong about this but I think we should also point and laugh at the snobs on this site who saw one set photo of Matt Damon and decided it was a flop
Vilde tal. Jeg har oplevet den to gange indtil videre. Glæder mig til tredje gang. #TheOdyssey
Even more than the chuds being so thoroughly, embarrassingly wrong (they always are) I'm glad the people who complained about the armor not being historically accurate were also embarrassingly wrong
Just finished an hour ago. This was the most anti everything this administration is doing movie this year. And if any supporter watched it and loved it while remaining a supporter, you’re illiterate. Full stop. 4.85/5 ⭐️’s I want to see its cultural impact before I give it the full 5. Incredible!
Between this and Sinners, I'm starting to think that with maybe an exception here and there, people are preferring non-ongoing franchise things when it comes to appointment viewing at the cinema. @ryanarey.bsky.social
Highly likely that the film is exceptionally leggy and has very strong weekday numbers since the one of the major constraints is IMAX screens which are marginally more available during the week For example, the 2 am screening *next* Thursday in Lincoln Square is fully booked
But I was told that it not being historically accurate was a bad thing.
This made twice as much as Moana LA did in a week ☠️☠️☠️ Disney i’m begging you to lock in
Crazy how so soon after the live action remake of Moana flopped, the live action remake of The SpongeBob Squarepants Movie is doing this well
"Yeah, Christopher Nolan made a billion dollars with a film about a scientist being sad, but I really think I can get people to skip his movie where Matt Damon fights monsters with a sword," - the finest minds on the internet.
“The reason we’ll tell them to stay away is that it stars one of the most beautiful human beings to currently walk the earth, who wants to see that amirite”
Is it Batman? Batman's a scientist It's not Batman!
“It’s a movie about a scientist being sad.” “Yes, but it’s coming out the SAME DAY as a campy movie about Barbie! Isn’t that NUTTY? Here’s the crazy costume I’m going to wear when I see both! 🤪”
i had to read the comments to see that "scientist being sad" movie referred to Oppenheimer and not Interstellar.
People get a bit strange around Nolan films. Those weirdos who sent death threats to film critics who wrote middling reviews of The Dark Knight.
My personal enjoyment of his movies peaked with The Dark Knight and Inception. Dunkirk and Oppenheimer were masterful films that deserve their praise (I don't have any burning desire to watch them again). All that said, I never skip a Nolan flick. He knows what he's doing. Never a waste of money.
Shoutout to all the Christians who spent the week calling Christopher Nolan 'woke' because Helen of Troy being Black isn't 'historically accurate' but woke up this morning and went to church to worship before white, blonde hair blue-eyed Jesus. You're the real hypocrites.
Every single classic story that was filmed before used white actors almost exclusively, regardless of the fact that many of the stories were based in areas where white people were the oddity, not the majority.
"Well, Helen was hatched from a fucking egg and is only 1/2 human, but, damn it, she should be white" is a wild take.
1000%...but they are not ready for that conversation.
Went to Catholic school my first year of high school. In mandatory religion class, we were told that man was made in God’s image. I asked, if Eden was in modern-day Africa or the Middle East, wouldn’t Adam & Eve be dark-skinned? And wouldn’t God? No, the nuns did not appreciate my line of thought.
The "Christians" really don't understand the word MYTHology.
My big problem with Marvel Zombies is that some of the zombies are black and that's totally unrealistic.
my christopher nolan take is that it doesn’t make sense that he has a british accent and his brother has an american accent. they’ve got the same juices basically
please don't phrase it like that
Multiple slurp juices create different apes, ceej. A lotta ya still don’t get it.
Chris went to uni in England Jonah (now Jonathan) went to Georgetown and assimilated more
And their other brother, Nolan Ryan, talks different than either of them!
Thank you for covering the real issues!
i feel like I should probably follow you. these kinds of thoughts feel important
Im such a fan of Christopher Nolan cannot WAIT to see ODYSSEY
I just came back from watching it. I have read many of the Greek classics and a few times, and was slightly cautious about how I would feel about it, but for me, it was a stunning and deeply meaningful adaptation, brilliant, I want to watch it again.
I’m not even a fan, but seeing just how the film is driving MAGA up the wall is great selling point. They should use it. “10/10 MAGA’s hate this film”
I taught the epic for over 30 years to high school students. Nolan makes one clever/brilliant decision after another in his portrayal. No spoilers -- can't wait to see what you think! xo
Welp. Christopher Nolan is now firmly caught in the prestige trap. He probably couldn't make a small goofy thriller again if he tried. He's gonna have to keep making epics.
I 100% read this the first, second and third times as The Prestige trap
I feel like he's been dead set on this direction since Batman Begins, really. I just wish he'd collaborate with his brother again, I haven't liked anything he's done since Johnathan went off doing his own thing. I don't think I've liked a single film of his after The Dark Knight (and all prior!)
What will be his Catch Me If You Can
He should make a zany rom com next, just to fuck with people. Like the Coen Brothers and Intolerable Cruelty, which I believe is their most underappreciated film.
he better trust whoever’s tying the rope, then
I WAS JUST REMINISCING ABOUT MEMENTO
While I'm still on about storytellers and accuracy and which stories we choose to tell, and Christopher Nolan being brilliant at the stories he chooses to tell? I think he told a fine story with Dunkirk, but I still want to see a different story that is both more accurate and more interesting.
There is more bravery, sacrifice, brotherhood, and overcoming insurmountable odds, in this story than in the one that was told. A British officer, commanding Muslim Indian men, who tend to mules, that were used to transport supplies for the British expeditionary force in France.
They also left the French soldiers behind.
