    Reminder that he didn’t give a fuck about controlling outbreaks of pre vaccine COVID and that he wanted to force people to see Tenet in cinemas.

    You know, jam hundreds of people into a closed room for two and a half hours so that you can have super spreader events multiple times a day.

    I watched that shit on my phone while sick in bed. Thank you for reminding me that all his films deserve the same treatment.

        Following a negotiation between Nolan and Warner Bros. executives, the studio arranged for the film to be released in seventy countries, with a run time of 150 minutes, on August 26,[105][106][107] following preview screenings in Australia and South Korea on August 22 and 23.[108][109] The film opened in select cities in the United States on September 3, gradually expanding in the ensuing weeks.[105] On September 4, it was released in China.[110] The lack of available movies afforded it more screens per multiplex than would otherwise have been possible.[111]

        them dates are before the vaccine became available. He drove a bargin as hard as he could, to get as many people to see the film as he could.

        Yeah, he’s not a politican, but neither was Typhoid Mary.
