with the volume off
Loud music coming from the radio in the next room
VOLVER VOLVER
AAAAH AH AH AH
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.

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…
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!.”
Not as good as watching camrip on phone.
So happy this genre has gone away
It has not.
The pneumatic screw-drivers really add to the soundtrack!

Thanks for your confession. Your penance is to watch Interstellar in Imax and say 5 hail Nolans.
Fixed:
I watched Fight Club telecine rip with watermarks on a 21" tube television in a bar in Tenerife.
I could see a full onion article with this premise.
‘full’ ‘article’
This makes me wonder if filmmakers cringe when they see their work on tiny screens anywhere on an airplane.
The true way to watch James Cameron’s Avatar is in the corner of a subway surfers montage.
Awesome
pushing random tires out of their racks to spell “I love you” or some shit
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.
Pfft, it’s not even a CRT!
