#TENET

Mere mortals: don't try to understand it, feel it!

Feel the larger-than-life, LieMax theatrical experience, where every cough, sniffle, sneeze will make you feel the same life-threatening dread as the Protagonist.

Feel the Red Team/Blue Team attention to detail, right from the opening company logos!

Feel the *massive* scale(they crashed a 747😮!), the massive score (Goransson takes the baton from Zimmer and sprints with it🎶🎹🥁💪!), the massive globe-hopping, the massive time-altering, mind-bending, reality-reshaping, if-you-dig-deep-enough-you'll-see-it's-not-all-empty-calories-critics-be-d*mned concept underpinning the whole thing.

Feel the #JamesBond/#MissionImpossible-with-touches-of-#Hitchcock's-MacGuffin/Cool-Blonde homage.

Feel the incredible craftsmanship on full display, those costumes, the cinematography…and especially the deft, seemingly impossible editing, that how-did-they-do-it? VFX (give them the #Oscars now/later, it won't matter, it's all a…).

Feel(and surrender to) the ALL-CAPS OF IT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally, feel the incredible cast, the heart of this massive operation: Patel, Taylor-Johnson, Poesy, Donovan, baddie Branagh, even Caine shows up, and my goodness, the legend that is Kapadia(👏👏👏), but extra love for the trinity of Debicki(does so much with a somewhat trapped character), Pattinson(laidback awesomeness), and especially Washington, our everyman, not-in-fallible/vulnerable hero, er Protagonist, carrying us through this entire thing!

Look, #Nolan's at the very top of the shortlist of directors I'm down for risking my life for, but if he's gonna make his stans venture forth during all of this, at least give us the full-deal #70mm #IMAX…and please, give us more of the bromantic chemistry between JDW & RP…c'mon CN, make this a franchise-starter, we want more buddy-action-spectacles where these two go back/forward(?right, that's how this works, right🤷‍♀️?!) saving the world in an infinite loop!


PS. What's happened, happens.…..aw man, don't say that to us now😷🥶!

PPS. #WeLiveInATwilightWorld…sadly, true…😐

#Voyagers Good, clean #LordOfTheFlies YA poli-sci-fi fun. Expert craftsmanship, especially when you consider the budget for indie-sci-fi's. Beautiful work by the DP(well-lit scenes so you don't have to squint, imagine that?, and those richly saturated colours!), composer(not resorting to easy sci-fi tropes), and esp the drool-worthy production design(that, too, on a budget!). And, to top it all off, expert sound design by Hsu, the hardest-working (sound)man in the indie film biz👏! And the kids?, well, they're certainly all right, highlighted by a terrific villain in Whitehead, kid's a keeper. - - - #NeilBurger #PaulHsu #ScottChambliss #EnriqueChediak #TrevorGureckis #FionnWhitehead #TyeSheridan #LilyRoseDepp(#VanessaParadis's kid!, boy time moves fast😳!) #ChanteAdams #ViveikKalra(#BlindedByTheLight!) #IsaacHempsteadWright(#GoT!) #ColinFarrell(yes, that CF, be still TBH's beating heart!) @voyagersfilm @lionsgate @neil.burger

The Dog (2014) .

#TBT so how about a #Throwback Movie? 😁 #TheDog (2014) One of those headspinning truth-is-stranger-than-fiction-way-stranger stories that the good documentaries, uh, spin so very well. If "The Dog" weren't a real person, you'd have to make him up! You always hear that tagline, right?, the [blank] was only the beginning…that was never truer here. I mean, yeah, we've all seen #DogDayAfternoon, but there's so much more that happened before..and after😲. Wojtowicz himself is a terrific character, and kudos to the documentarians for digging beneath that charismatic, seemingly-fun surface to hint at the darkness beneath. And, kudos, also, for giving a showcase to his mom, a star in her own right! And how about all that early gay rights activism footage…real eye-opening stuff. An informative, absorbing, entertaining documentary about a quintessential New York character. - - - #AllisonBerg #FrankKeraudren #JohnWojtowicz #TheresaWojtowicz #Sidn

#WolfWalkers Wonderful, just bl**dy wonderful! The kind of intelligent, layered, nervewrack/heartwarm/thoughtprovok-ing, non-1000-gags-per-minute-headache inducing kid's film you don't see too often these days. Let's start with that eye-watering, beautiful, lyrical, artwork (I'm not an art major, but looks like they do lotsa interesting stuff with perspectives🤔?). Every frame is one of those, uh, frame-worthy efforts, inspired by those awesome woodcut-type stuff I used to see at my Aunt's place, contrasting with the magical, mythical forests(like I said, I'm not an art major…TL;DR: it's *beautiful*!). There's a lesson in there for all of us: never let budget, or lack thereof, stand in your way! Speaking of lessons, dude, this film has *all* the allegory(?metaphor? unlike Kornheiser, I wasn't an English major😁) you can handle, especially for a kid's film(actually, all the good ones have some layer of subtext, right?). "Into your
