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’m so tired of Nolan being treated as anything more than a hack.
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
Interstellar gets worse and worse with age too. I’m sure this is tired ground, but the movie is fucking awful.
It introduces some neat concepts that audiences have never been exposed to, which is why it was popular, but the plot itself was utter dogshit. Particularly when viewed from a scientific lens like Nolan seemed to want from the outset.
Bro, I get you watched Contact at an impressionable age and now every great scifi should have some mix of heady science and human emotional experience, but “the only thing that can escape time and space is the human heart”? REALLY? You have actual scientists and mission commanders and the like having serious discussions in space reciting hallmark greeting card lines to each other with a straight face? This is even before touching on the utter nonsense around the black-hole that couldn’t figure out it’s own size, boundaries and rules.
Fixed:
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.
Yeah, Dick Tracy had nothing on modern smart watches.
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.
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?
Mailed pictures. Individually. Worse than a tiny moving picture, and nowhere near as convenient as a book.
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.
That feeling when you accidentally hit the seek bar:
“Goddammit, Kevin! You just cost us decades!.”
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.
If people went to see Tenet during Covid, they’ll end up needing the oxygen mask the Protagonist is wearing 🤭
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…
The pneumatic screw-drivers really add to the soundtrack!
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.
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]
I watched Fight Club telecine rip with watermarks on a 21" tube television in a bar in Tenerife.
I first watched it on a 720p LCD screen on a Cheap $50 Android phone back in 2015 via those shitty ad-ridden streaming websites (and I didn’t even know about uBlock Origin back then). Oh I didn’t even have headphones.
In my defence, I was a kid, literally was still in middle school at the time. Frugal times… 😅
My child brain didn’t even understand it at all, was just weird people in space and time travel magic. I didn’t even know Time Dialation was a real thing at the time.
I did do a rewatch later on on a better display with headphones. Make a lot more sense since I’m older and wiser (sort of…)
I know the “real” experience is supposed to be at a movie theater, but like, c’mon, I hate being around people, hate going outside when its not required for survival.
Thanks for your confession. Your penance is to watch Interstellar in Imax and say 5 hail Nolans.
This makes me wonder if filmmakers cringe when they see their work on tiny screens anywhere on an airplane.
Awesome
The true way to watch James Cameron’s Avatar is in the corner of a subway surfers montage.
