Nolan didn't like it anyways, if his opinion worth anything  :)

It couldnt be as bad as Dunkirk.

I won't be going to see it anyway as I don't want to catch the plague.  Are they spacing people out in cinemas or other social distancing measures?

I know in Omniplex it's chequer-boarded so if you book they'll block off the seats left, right, in front and behind. Even still I'm not that desperate although the new Bond or Top Gun might drag me out in a few months.

It's worse. Dunkirk at least had some rough semblance of structure.

If anyone wants to avoid a trip to see Tenet in these scary COVID times then just pull a pillow around your head and watch a 2 hour general relativity physics Lecture on YouTube. The stream of muffled explanations of incomprehensible physics jargon is more than a suitable replacement for Nolan's latest offering.

It's bad enough that Nolan thinks he's a f**king genius by writing films about "temporal pincer movements" but to add insult to injury by lifting whole passages of bad guy dialogue from Austin powers is just taking the piss. "How vould you like to die?" f**k off Dr No.

Main Street

The Trial of the Chicago 7, an excellent enactment of the 1968 Chicago police riots and subsequent attempt of the then recently elected Nixon's administration to charge selected civil rights activists and others on conspiracy of incitement to riot and crossing state lines.

Hmm,   that charge still sounds familiar but obviously does not apply to good ol' boys and their ilk.

Watched that last night. Very good.

It's very very good. Well worth a watch

Was looking forward to Tenet for months, searching for streams constantly and finally saw it last night - terrible.

Dunno if this should fall in with Movies or not but I watched the musical show Hamilton on Disney+ last week.  I didn't know a single thing about it before I sat down to watch it, but I was blown away.  I thought it a fantastic show.

The guy who starred in and wrote the script, music and lyrics for the show, Lin-Manuel Miranda has won a Pulitzer Prize, three Tony Awards, three Grammys, an Emmy, and two Olivier Awards and has been nominated for an Academy Award.

My wee girl is a Hamilton nut so I took her to see it in London in Feb. I didn't go in.

I eventually was persuaded to watch the Disney Plus version. It was superb. The detail, the songs, the choreography. I can't get my head around how they made it work but they did.

Side note: The Hercules Mulligan in it is from Coleraine. Not the actor. Thee person.

Fool! We had tickets for it in July which obviously got binned. We watched it on Disney too and it was first class. I'll be back!
