I have really enjoyed some of Nolan’s work, but at this point, a production sound mixer/supervisor being eyed is more likely to get me interested than a lead actor.
100% this. His movies are unwatchable at this point. I got through maybe half of Tenet and just gave up. Was loving the story but having to use subtitles and turn the volume up and down constantly, I just gave up.
Which is a damn shame because the dialogue in Tenet is amazing. I love that movie.
“I ordered my hot sauce an hour ago.”
“Lying is the Standard Operational Procedure.”
“I realized I wasn’t working for you. We’ve both been working for me. I’m the Protagonist.”
Sator: “This is where our worlds collide. How would you like to die?”
The Protagonist: “Old.”
Sator: “You chose the wrong profession.”
The Protagonist: “You wanna crash a plane?”
Neil: “Well, not from the air. Don’t be so dramatic.”
The Protagonist: “Well, how big a plane?”
Neil: “That part is a little dramatic.”
The Protagonist: “I’ll manage. You British don’t have a monopoly on snobbery, you know.”
Sir Michael Crosby: “Well, not a monopoly. More of a controlling interest.”
Oh nice, it’s been a while since we’ve seen Matt Damon saved in a movie.
