"Tenet" - 2020.. Nolan's new mindbender
- Thread starter Flying Spaghetti Monster
- Start date
I get the impression that Nolan wants to seen as the man who saved cinema, and the studio is too afraid he'll go elsewhere to do the sensible thing.
The movie is designed with giant screen visuals in mind. He doesn't want to release a movie that wasn't designed to be watched on a phone so that people will criticize the movie and ruin his career. Better to just hold onto it. China is reopening theaters this weekend, so expect most of the world to follow soon. Unfortunately USA will be last.
Over Nolan's dead body I expect.
If they release it to the rest of the world then how long before it turns up on a torrent site? That's a tricky one indeed.
Why is that tricky? All movies are pretty much downloadable the day they're released, many times even earlier.
People are going to download it no matter what, regardless of when it opens in their own country.
Even with theater auditoriums reopening at significantly reduced capacity, I'm not sure how comfortable I will be going to the movies over the next several months. There are certain movies that I really want to see on the big cinema screen at least once before having it relegated to a home viewing experience, and Tenet is definitely one of them. But considering these unique circumstances, I might end up just waiting for the blu-ray, however long that may take.

While that is certainly possible and likely, Warner Brothers in general seems against the whole release to streaming instead of having a theatrical release, at least for big productions. They've also been playing the rescheduling game with Wonder Woman 1984, though not to the same extent as Tenet. Likewise, they issued a statement saying WW1984 will be a theatrical release no matter what, just like they have with Tenet.
They're already working on a vaccine, and I doubt it'll take 10 years for them to finish. From recent new headlines, it looks they're already having some early success with one in England.
Once the vaccine is out there and people start getting it, things will be able to pretty much go back to normal.

The current commonly held theory is that the flu vaccine caused covid...
There are doubts about whether a vaccine will even work in the long term, as there's evidence that the antibodies fade after a while, as with the common cold (which is also a kind of coronavirus). However, there are some promising treatments that seem to significantly reduce the symptoms and the mortality rate, so the solution might be a drug cocktail that would make it a treatable and manageable illness in most cases even without a vaccine.
It'll be a long time before things go back to normal, if ever. There's still the long-term economic damage, and many of the survivors will never fully recover. And this probably won't be the last pandemic. Scientists have been warning about a coming age of pandemics for a while now. The lessons we've learned from this will probably have permanent effects on the way we do a lot of everyday things. And they should.
And most of these people are probably posting their conspiracy theories on their smartphones that already track their location and activity...
Erm... no. Wikipedia:
The common cold is a viral infection of the upper respiratory tract. The most commonly implicated virus is a rhinovirus (30–80%), a type of picornavirus with 99 known serotypes. Other commonly implicated viruses include human coronaviruses (≈ 15%)
But, yes, some long-term societal changes should be made. No one with a fever should be allowed to board a passenger flight, for starters.
Yes, if you read the last sentence you quoted. Okay, only 15% of colds are coronaviruses, but that's still not a no. To quote from that last link in your own quote: "Coronaviruses vary significantly in risk factor. Some can kill more than 30% of those infected, such as MERS-CoV, and some are relatively harmless, such as the common cold."

Because the US represents one of the movie's biggest audiences who would likely try to see the movie over the opening weekend or following week. Sure they can download a crappy version but they have the option to see a great version on the big screen right then. But having it released everywhere else means that it's more likely to be downloaded by people who are too impatient to wait and likely a good pirate copy would end up widely available before it hits theaters.
And they're the same people who believe that wearing a mask is form of tyranny.
And Wesley Crusher is in 39% of TNG episodes, but, if I were to claim the series was about him, I'm sure you'd set me straight.
I'm not trying to be confrontational here; I just think that when it comes to covid matters, we should all make a particular effort to be as accurate as possible.

About the right things, not irrelevancies. Yes, many colds are not caused by coronaviruses, but that's exactly why those colds are irrelevant to a conversation that is about coronaviruses. The point here is that those colds demonstrate that coronavirus antibodies are not necessarily permanent, which is why there are doubts about whether a vaccine could give lasting immunity. Here's the article I got that information from:
