I'm almost positive the Cinerama in a Seattle has to be net loss but Paul Allen can easily float whatever loss and write it off Im sure

I'm so mad that Chicago doesn't currently have a real IMAX theater.
Why must you give Chris a rolling brown-out on his special day?
Yes we do. Navy Pier.

So you'd stick with those ones? Or is further back and more off to the side a better compromise?
If you have to go to that showing, then yea those would be the best. I'll be honest, I would probably go to a diff showing with seats a bit further back, and definitely more in the middle.
The second to last row, on the right isn't toooo bad

I've heard it's undergoing renovations? So it's not playing Dunkirk in 70mm IMAX

Hmm so the handicap seats are way back. Does anybody have any experience sitting so far back?
Oh, nice!

yes, honestly, that theater, the best spots are in the back 3 rows. Because you can actually see everything from top to bottom.
Saw the prologue in legit IMAX, entire theater shook when the Spitfires were on the screen. It was amazing. I do hope they show all facets of the operation, some of which don't reflect well on British command or the soldiers. I will also be really disappointed if they don't show the role the French played in buying time. Can't wait.
I want to go see this at the Henry Ford IMAX in Dearborn, MI.

Pacific Science Center?
Earlier than expected, awesome!
Cinerama. PSC doesn't have assigned seating I think.

I'd love a Nolan stoner flick, tho.
Never seen Memento blazed? I have a whole new theory because of it.
I am beyond excited for this to FINALLY come out so I can stop having to endure all the previews at every. single. screening. I attend for other films. Unless it's a kids film, it's been unavoidable for months upon months. Theaters just won't stop trying to push this film with several minutes of previews attached to everything it feels like.
I'll be seeing it, just can't stand how it's being shoved down my throat constantly. Never seen the like.
Also glad that embargo is lifting soon though I doubt we'll be seeing too many hot takes. Nolan always has it in the bag.

I doubt you will see the French side or even much if the generals, politics, and events leading up to it in the background.
From that playboy Nolan interview, he seems to be leaving all that out. Short run time and the focus seems to be just on the ppl who survived the ordeal.

So in a few hours we will get twitter reactions?
I have a feeling that this is a bad post.
Really? It's quite short, with minimal dialogue and almost constant action.
I could see it being nominated, but aside from the World War 2 setting, it's about as Oscar-baity as Mad Max was.

He won't, so don't worry.

It's also being released in July, so clearly WB doesn't think it has super potential at the Oscar either.
Actually, there's a good chance he will. He emphatically reaffirmed his desire to direct a Bond flick as recently as this month's interview with Playboy. I imagine it will be whenever they cast a new actor in the part.

Mad Max got nominated for Best Picture AND Best Director though... With a subject material and setting that is way less appealing to the academy than WWII.

He'll make a Bond when they want to reinvent the series. He won't do a "continuation". He's pretty clear about it in the playboy interview.

Right, I'm sure it will get nominated if the quality is up to par.
I'm just objecting to the idea that it's Oscar-bait. It isn't.
Tom Hardy please.
I'd be surprised if he never did one (well, not if timing didn't work out or something, but if he ever turned down the opportunity or Broccoli and Wilson turned him down). I know the lack of creative control relative to all of his films for WB gets brought up as a major reason why he wouldn't want to do Bond, but given that they've apparently talked to each about the idea a few times over the years, I can't imagine that hasn't come up in some capacity -- or at the very least, that Nolan wouldn't already know about that.

It's time for Nolan to direct a non-white actor. Idris Elba!
Nah man.

So you lie to yourself to be happy. There's nothing wrong with that. We all do it.
