It really feels like National Theatre Owners Association was the way to go.

Same with the Chemical Industries Association.

At the risk of sounding a snob, this man remains one of the last beacons of hope in big cinema for me.

I will see every one of his movies in cinemas no questions asked. Say what you want but they are events. Seeing Interstellar in IMAX in 2 months, so excited.

You must be a fella in the UK too, then.

Seeing both TDK and TDKR in 3 months at the BFI too lol.

Yep ahahah that's exactly it! I've got tickets to Interstellar and will try to catch all 3 Batman films too lol. Annoyingly I can't make the Inception screening because I really wanted to see that one

I've never seen Interstellar in IMAX and I completely missed booking on time, as my focus was on TDK (favorite CBM trilogy probs). I have no doubt it probably looks glorious on 70mm, so enjoy! Tickets sold out instantly for it.

I recently re-watched the TDK trilogy for the n-th time, but who cares. I will skip on BB, but TDK/TDKR are a must-see, due to the IMAX-filmed scenes.

I've also already done 2 all nighters of the whole trilogy at the BFI and it was epic. But very exhausting too, hence why I will see both TDKR/TDKR separately lol.

Haha man yeah that all nighter seems crazy. If it was 10am to the evening then honestly I'd do it but doing it overnight would be torture!

I booked interstellar a bit late so I've got some shit seats (side front😬) but I couldn't pass it up. I haven't seen the film in IMAX before and figured it was worth it even with the bad seats

Let me know how the front seats viewing is!

The thought of sitting front at an IMAX screen scares me lol.

I refuse to believe that this is about anything other than the North Atlantic Treaty Organization being so impressed with Nolan's Oppenheimer that they awarded him with the spirit of the (military) industry award.

"he wanted to do it for real" nato secretary general recalls of his meeting with esteemed director christopher nolan. "i asked why not just use cgi? and he looked at me as if i had called his mother a harlot. he leaned forward and put his fingers in my face in the shape of a camera lens. "picture this," he says, and then proceeded to describe, in vivid detail, what the explosion of the nuclear device would look like. it sounded incredible.

the secretary paused to look out the window, lost in the memory. "you know what he tells me next? 'i'm doing this with or without you, chuck.' he knows my name isn't chuck. he also knows there's no way i'll say no. so i told him i at least want to be there in person, for national security reasons. he just smiled and left."

he began to cough violently so our interview was put on pause for a while. when he returned, a glass of water in hand, he was grinning like a schoolboy. "it was incredible. the set he built... straight out of the history books. when that bomb went off, i - it was like looking at god."

he paused to cough some more, and i offered some tissues. he wiped his mouth and emptied half the glass. "everyone on set was exposed to thirty times the recommended lifetime exposure to radiation. undoubtedly, we'll all be dead in ten years. but it was worth it. it was the most beautiful thing i ever did see."

oppenheimer opens exclusively in theatres june 30.

For a second, I thought this had something to do with Putin suspending his Nuclear treaty. No Nuclear treaty would be good for Nolan's movie.
