Cinema-Men

Tenet was a masterpiece with so much to discuss from the theories to the storyline to the practical effects to the writing and so much more. We mainly deep dive into Tenet while discussing a handful of other Christopher Nolan films and how he plays with time and sound and effects.

We're back! Did we learn how to stay on one topic? No, but tough luck kiddo! Is a superhero movie really bad because it's a bad film? Or is it because of one's preconceived concept of how the superhero SHOULD be portrayed and the film doesn't match that image? It's like a book turning into a film or Raimi's take on how Tobez webs work. Is it wrong of a director to add their own twist to a superhero? If they do, does it only work if they commit fully to their idea vs mixing in other pre-conceived concepts as well?

What’s the true beauty behind the Batman films created by Joel Schumacher? How amazing would it be if Tom Holland’s original introduction as Spiderman WASN’T in the trailer and instead took theatres by surprise? When is familiarity in films beautiful, and when does it feel unnecessary?

Rest in peace Joel Schumacher and Ian Holm.
