Well, get ready for Christopher Nolan: The Movie, in which we finally get to watch Christopher Nolan crawl right up into his own butt. It's a dark place where nothing makes sense and it is almost impossible to hear anything.
TENET
I'm watching it today. It looks completely awful

Haha yeah Tenet does not look good. It appears to be a lot of the worst of what Nolan does. I hate when good artists reach a point in their careers where they appear to feel like everything they touch is genius. They need people around them to say something.

Happiest Season was fine.

Great cast. Largely charming. Sometimes eye-rolly. Aubrey Plaza is a treasure.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Sound of Metal.

I really liked it. I wasnt as moved as Trag, at all. I thought the story was fine but very obvious. Still, the photography and framing were great, the sound design was awesome and Riz Ahmed was good as always.

Watched two very different movies yesterday
Sweetie You Won't Believe It - A pitch-black horror-comedy from Kazakhstan, very ridiculous and very fun
Tenet - Really did not enjoy it even a little bit on any level, came very close to turning it off several times

I find it so funny that everyone is shitting on Tenet, that's the kind of thing that might make me watch it

It's not even entertainingly bad, it's just extremely boring

Yeah it was good. Not a great movie--the brother character was totally illogical--but a fun update on the Wells story and Moss was incredible, as usual. Also, not sure if it's because we just bought a new TV or what but it looked beautiful.

That was the last movie I watched in the theater before Covid. I hated it -- it was like the worst parts of arthouse horror and a Marvel superhero movie combined

Ok, a couple reviews and still have me intrigued. Where can I watch it? I'm not finding it.
It's playing at an online film festival right now but I think access to it is geo-restricted. I'm sure it'll be more widely available soon
