    I seem to recall some comment he made about how bad audio mixing was a vital part of the cinematic art and he can just get the heck outta here with that take

    I get the "concept" that in the real world you aren't hearing everything perfectly, so in a movie having some dialogue be hard to understand might be more realistic, but as an experience..... nah, my viewer emotions just go from engaged to frustrated.

    And it's not just Nolan, it's the sound designers. They deserve ALL the blame imo. They know what they're doing. It's all in the pursuit of a large range of sound levels.

    I don’t think it’s this; when he wants this sort of effect (e.g. that one scene in Tenet) it’s very clear what’s going on.

    Nolan would have you believe he wants you to see all his films in theaters with great sound, and he mixes them with that environment in mind. But idk Chris, I saw dark knight in imax and the mixing still seemed shitty

    I'm just confused by these comments cause I had zero issues with the sound mixing in The Dark Knight and no one I saw it with or talked to about the film for ages afterwards ever commented on it. It wasn't until a few films later I noticed or heard anyone talking about it.

    It doesn't have to be a bootstrap paradox, does it? I haven't seen the movie since it came out, so I might be wrong, but humanity could have survived the blight in some form, they have advanced AI robots that could have continued research after humanity's passing, the original wormhole could have been natural allowing Brand's colony to reach out from the far future to save more people, really a million possibilities.

    Only if we have infinitely loyal AGI that will continually work on it's task of ensuring it's creators never actually died out forever. It still breaks everything because then things would never have developed down that line

    I don't see why not. If the artificial intelligence is black boxed in both instances, it would develop along the same path. If humanity dies and AI solves the problem alone on Earth, then humanity leaves Earth in orbital cities, once again leaving AI alone on Earth to solve the problem, it's not a bootstrap.

    Intent is irrelevant, only causality.

    I didn't mention intent, only input. If, in all cases, the AI is given instructions and then left free of further input, it will arrive at the same conclusion. Nothing enters the black box, ever. Whether humanity is dead, in orbital cities, or exploring the entire galaxy, nothing changes for the cloistered AI.

    And to be clear, I'm only talking about the bootstrap nature of the paradox. Time travel is never going to make sense, but it doesn't have to be a bootstrap. As long as the time traveler never crosses back far enough to influence the creation of time travel or the reason to create it, it just runs afoul of normal time travel problems.

    There's not really a need to resolve the supposed time travel paradox in Interstellar because the story states that time simply doesn't work the way we believe it does. This is really where it breaks from hard SF to speculative science fiction. The story says that moving backwards in time is no different than moving forwards in time from a 5th dimensional perspective, so that time travel paradox doesn't exist. It's quite similar to Arrival in that way.

    Episode 7
    Boy I did not like this episode. I feel nothing about Matt's relationship with this woman, they have anti-chemistry. The way Matt treats her makes me annoyed with him. And predictably they just used her to tease some sexual violence to create stakes for a Daredevil fight. Which incidentally is also the only purpose of this villain, who is just some weird guy that talks crazy and hurts women because he likes it. Whatever, it's over, let's just move on please.

    Hate to break it to you (from an article based on last week's episode)

    https://www.forbes.com/sites/paultassi/2025/03/28/daredevil-born-again-season-2-spoilers-fly-with-new-set-leaks/
    Daredevil’s own showrunner, Dario Scardapane, said that despite being a main season 1 villain, Muse will return for season 2. Given that we just had our first real Muse feature this week, and there are only a couple episodes left this season, it stands to reason that yes, his story may not be wrapped up that quickly. Still, why say that now?

    Not sure how that'd work, though apparently the character died in the comics and came back so who knows.

    He was the heart of Top Gun Maverick in a way that was beautiful and touching and felt like a real goodbye from the film industry itself that Cruise had made just for him.

    He was a amazing and funny in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. That whole movie kinda felt like it was shaking Hollywood and moviemakers and going "Hey, you remember these two actors are great fun right?".

    But just for me personally I'll always remember him as the lead in Spartan. A great little spy action film that is lean in every sense of the word and Kilmer kills it.
