Oppenheimer (Christopher Nolan film)

[T & P]

I am very much looking forward to this. Within the recent discussion about the future of cinema, this is certainly one film I'll be wanting to watch on the big screen.

First reviews are extremely encouraging: Oppenheimer first reactions hail ‘spectacular’ Cillian Murphy performance

I want to see this on the big screen, not sure I'll manage to mind but I really want to see it.

Good to see an adult film made in the US about a serious subject getting the Big Movie treatment

I wonder what the political message is?

Blimey just looked up BFI Imax ticket prices

I would have thought it would bomb

I wonder if it will achieve critical acclaim?

I wouldn’t want to put a damper on it , so will go to a decent cinema and not the local pit.

Anything to get a reaction.

I just want to know if cillian does the line.

Wow, it's getting to off-West End theatre prices... FFS.

I'd much rather spend £17.50 odd at an Everyman cinema, which whilst still expensive, it is far closer to a really comfortable, low density 'VIP seating' cinema experience than the seating the IMAX offers, and ten quid cheaper at that. Not as big a screen though, but I don't care that much about that.

Cillian Murphy as a thin man who makes a fat man

Yeah Stratty Picturehouse is £8 + 70p booking fee per ticket on a Tuesday which is when we'd want to go, which is altogether more doable

In general terms, the Castle Cinema (Homerton) is £5 on a Monday, the Barbican is £6 on a Monday, the Rio (Dalston) is £5 on a Tuesday, the Genesis (Mile End) is £5 Monday to Thursday, £7.50 apart from that.

(Not sure if it's on in any of them just more cheap cinema showings.)

Thanks for that info, very useful! Not sure once travel cost is added on that would work out cheaper than Stratford but I'll check those cinemas and see if they are showing it, work out routes.

First strike…

You mean "back in Nagasaki where the fellers chew tabaccy", right?

 

[Santino]

"Up and atom!"

you can't build a bomb in here, this is the manhattan project

First strike…

Are big actors claiming that they are poorly paid or am I missing something?

The latter.

It’s pun Sam.

A bit like my earlier post the response to which I am particularly disappointed with.

Sadly often the case with responses these days

Although actors are literally on strike too.

I've never been a fan of literally fiction myself

 

[not-bono-ever]

curiously, i have been watching the BBC 80s version on iplayer recently

 

[dogboy_hackney]

I wonder if it will mention the hispanic and indigenous farmers displaced by the Los Alamos facility.

 

[Hollis]

Saw it this morning - I managed not to doze off, or check my watch until 2 1/2 hours in - so it must have been pretty good.

Actually, I thought it was excellent - not what I was expecting - lead actor guy is supurb.

 

[scifisam]

Yeah, it did.

Excellent movie, and for once the sound was used effectively. It was interesting that they told it as a sort of story within a story within a story, which made Oppenheimer more unknowable. Bit more sex and nudity than I expected in a Nolan movie though.
